Neither Fox News, Breitbart, nor Glenn Beck showed so little care as to make her pull to the side of the road and resign. Are they really making the case that this is the kind of tragedy for which we can no longer suffer the first amendment?

Most of the damage was done by "people so much smarter than us". Remember trying to convince us of that one?

I know we are coming to the point that we won't listen to each other anymore--but you don't think control over media is warranted so that in 10%+ unemployment a woman doesn't lose her job for less than 24 hours, you're being silly?

That a woman loses her job for an evening is so troublesome but coming close to shutting down the other side of the news isn't close to fascism and epistemic closure?

They just made a ruling that it is Unconstitutional to prevent somebody from lying about medals. Thus suggesting a constitutional right to lie--so we've got to crack down on bloggers, how?

Actually READ Breitbart's piece where he introduces this. Take all of his points in context and you tell me that he was that "irresponsible" you either didn't understand the piece or you're an Alinskyite who will say anything. We've got a guy on MSNBC who has memorized parts of Alinsky, but he's not the threat--nuanced points are a threat!

"The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet is Killing Our Culture," .........

  Yeah,   killing the culture of the professional Liberal media.

I agree.  The Feds should send in some jack-booted thugs and shut down CNN once and for all - put it out of it's misery, and put these so-called 'reporters' in the doghouse where they belong.

   If she doesn't like what she sees on the internet then she should do what I did about CNN.  Just don't look at it.

 '' ....there's going to come a point where something's going to have to be done legally...''

There you have it, people. The NEXT Leftist (JournoList) Talking Point to shut down contrary speech.

November 2010

"There's going to have be a point in time where these people have to be held accountable," Phillips said. "How about all these bloggers that blog anonymously? They say rotten things about people and they're actually given credibility, which is crazy. They're a bunch of cowards, they're just people seeking attention."

It's called free speech, idiots, and the fact that Phillips and Roberts don't like what is said by conservative bloggers is tough...I happen to despise the constant stream of leftist bs and lies that is spewed on a daily basis by the unhinged left, but, we still do have free speech in this country. Phillips and Roberts and those like them are the true cowards here...They are so afraid of any views that are contrary to or that challenge theirs, that they want to silence the opposing voices...That's real cowardice, only they are so far out on the fringes of the liberal, leftist galaxy that they can't see it.   

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

Phillips and Rogers are being disingenuous. They aren't singling out "anonymous bloggers." They're singling out anyone who criticizes the left. It's got to be someone rigged to make it look like all anonymous bloggers (neither of these two could ever think that through), but only getting the right wing ones.

Bad try.

And Breitbart did nothing wrong, which is evident at least by the fact that the wolves aren't on the run, tearing his throat out. Oh, there's been some token whining, but they know they ain't got sh*t. Breitbart reported the information he'd received. That was all he knew about.

I don't think that all the negative comments I've ever left add up to one single day of filth and lies pushed by CNN and the alphabet networks. And even if they did, those "professionals" have a 40 year head start on me, so I've got a lot of catching up to do; finally, this woman acts as though all comments are horrible, which of course, they're not. Where does she get her information from?

I know damn well these commies aren't talking about us!

We all have screen names here!

Defamation lawsuit? Yo,Kyra/John, they are Sherrod's own words. She would have to sue herself, not Breitbart...duh.

If they got rid of bloggers from whom would CNN get their news?

Sadly, in a media world full of rubes posing as professionals, Kyra Phillips actually has a degree in journalism, and having been trained in media ethics and founders' intent, she should know better.

That figures that Liberals would come up with an asinine suggestion like that? That's par for the course with these Socialist sociopaths who already control the propaganda issued forth from the alphabet networks which is biased to the extreme Left and couldn't really be called news anymore! The freedom of expression the internet allows irks them to no end because they can't control it and much of it is politically Conservative or Independent which of course in Libworld can't be allowed and anybody who should dare speak against the "Enlightened" and "Dear Leader" must be censored first then arbitrarily punished either monetarily and/or imprisoned just like in other Socialist/Communist countries like China or Cuba for example! The Sherrod incident is merely being used as a smokescreen for the real agenda which is to censor any opposition to the Lib/Socialist powers that be! This is typical Leftist Liberal strategy to create or convert a "crisis" which serves their ultimate goal which is retention of power and riches via Liberal Socialism! The truth is relative with a Liberal, their playbook says it best. "we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have." Schneider concluded "each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."? If you engage a Liberal in conversation, be prepared for a series of vituperative cheap shots, half-truths or NO-truths and ad hominem attacks! When confronted with inconvenient facts, most Liberals just resort to shouting and/or a plethora of obscenities! Socialist fear-mongers are so tiresome because they predict and expect the worst- about the economy, the war, the next election, the weather, and everything else! Their "solutions" always involve an Extremist Liberal persona non grata, who is pro- Socialist/Communist, bigger, stronger, more expensive, more intrusive and controlling government along with stratospheric taxes! No truly free government representative of the people or ethical political group fears freedom of expression whether pro or con since this is what being free is all about and the anonymous nature of the internet in this framework allows a completely free flow of ideas and opinions without censure or fear of retribution as is the case in places like Iran or North Korea where you cannot freely express any opinion critical of the government or it's entities without fear of imprisonment or even death! Any "gatekeeper" which is Libspeak for censorship is not what a free Republic is about and smacks of  political interference for the purpose of silencing political opposition for nefarious purposes! Blame not the bloggers for thine own faults Liberals!

Someone tell pretty boy John Roberts to go back to Canada and do what he does best. Introduce music videos. What a jerk.

              Wow! The media is scared to death of us! It's no wonder, the way they report/ don't report the news. They are dead but their small brains haven't recieved the signal. They will never control the internet. Iran tried to control the internet, but the stories still got out. I guess CNN wants to be like Iran.                                                                                                                                                       

that the media was putting on and turned it into chaos.  No wonder they hate him.

If anyone should sue anyone for 'defamation' it should be Breitbart suing Sharrod for claiming on national TV that he wants to bring slavery back.

Andy Breitbart is the Audie Murphy of conservatism in the media wars today.  A hero.  

Beck has warned about this being the final column left in the Obama administration's trying to seize total power.  They own Healthcare and the Financial, so a Free Press is all that's left for them To gain control of now, and here comes CNN to fire the first Censorship shot w/just One of its resident Lank Thompson-types, talking about how check and balances would Benefit "anonymous bloggers" on Newbusters, or HotAir, etc.? Teddy WHO!?

But when it comes to a society like ours, an open society, do there have to be some checks and balances, not national, but maybe website to website on who comments on things?"

That's why Media Matters Exists, JR! They're the Left's Thought and Word Gestapo with a spooky lil' jingle Fade out.  See! Them Fascist, RACIST Republicans is Comin' To Git Ya'!

So we're Already on our Way to becoming a fascist state and CNN Clearly wants to be Obama's Network of Record if that ever becomes Official. Ya' know, the Teacher's Pet thing? As You seem to believe that the Newsbusters Staff evidently Can't  Police Their Own SITE!  

HOPE We've Pleased You Here at CNN though, Chairman Obama. Kisses.

Ps. Lank Thompson. The short version, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvzoUJ5gxoc for those who are too young to have known the SNL character, and those who may have forgotten him. 

Or, just see Matt, Ricky, John Roberts, Keith - in his own Mind, Larry O', Rachel, et al.

It is just the first steps in limiting
and then eliminating blog's from speaking out against the
administrations' views. The communist did it the socialist regime's
are doing it. And now the Obamaommunist want to do it. Mark my words
they are trumping up the issue to quite dissenting voices. We have
already seen sights closed because of one Blogger's message. This is
the goal to silence people that speak out, under any pretense they
choose at that time it is a dangerous slope towards censorship.

I don't suppose this idiot has ever heard of the First Amendment?
