Washington Journal highlighting Wa Times article re academia
How often does the Journal use the Washington Times as a jumping off point? The article is rife with "why we have to crack down on radical teachers" shit..

I hope they get hammered{/} on the call ins

1. Caller said "Islama-Fascists Professors should be examined because
when the "Islama-Fascists" take over our country they will be the ones that are responsible." The quote isn't exact but it was one of those Limbaugh types who was raving. The point is this guy thinks that University Professors are out protesting the war these days... He has his decades mixed up. :eyes:

I had to turn it off after that because I couldn't stand listening to callers like that. They do use the Washington Times constantly, and so I don't watch when they are raving on about something said in that rag.

2. Yesterday they devoted 90 minutes on
Iraq to PNACer Marc Gerecht, calling him a Middle East "expert." He's the turd who claims "democracy" doesn't depend on the participation of women. He sat up there lying his smug ass off that the US has no plans to permanently remain in Iraq and that the so-called Constitution will be accepted by the Iraqi people and violence will subside. In other words, they devoted 90 minutes to a murderous idiot who's living in la-la land.

And, you are right about the frequent use of the Washington Times. The Moonie waste of trees is treated with the utmost respect on that show. They give plenty of free airtime to wingnuts while cutting short or cutting off anyone who's making sense. Just another cog in the rw propaganda machine.
