Howie Kurtz - #1 Media Whore

[annxburns]

Poor Howie,

COMPLETELY PANICKED about the new movie "OutFoxed". All upset that maybe people are realizing the truth - that there is no liberal media. There is only the corporate ratings driven media and a large, looney-funded right wing echo chamber.

But now the guerrilla filmakers whom you pooh-pooh and try to discredit are getting an audience ....

The truth is coming out Howie - whether you like it or not. And history will damn you and your right wing friends for leading the parade to war ....

2. so what's Fox's response?

if the NYT supposedly didn't give them a chance to respond, why doesn't Kurtz give them the opportunity in his column?

3. Kurtz is a slow thinker.

These articles were absolutely ridiculous. But in addition to these, he did a rant about how poor customer service is these days, and how it's wasting all his time, etc. No question about that, but why did he not draw the conclusion that it is time to put teeth in consumer protection laws and fund the agencies that are supposed to go after these corporations that refuse to honor warranties, build products that break down soon after you buy them, etc.? Gee, I wonder why...
