This is satire, no?

I learned more in this 1:56 clip then I ever learned from MSNBC and their lineup of useful idiots.

Pretty funny.

Well, CNN's "holograms" I believe is a more accurate description.

Holograms? More like hollow heads.

I only wish Olberman had made an appearance; maybe as the steak that was used to convince the tiger to try floating.

MSNBC is pretty entertaining as it is anyway, can you believe they're trying to pass as a reliable news source? Hilarious!

re: #4 bosforus

Well, CNN's "holograms" I believe is a more accurate description.

Actually, no. Based on what I learned, they digitally added her in. Wolf didn't actually see her, if I understand it right. She was just digitally added into the live feed.

ha ha ha

Heh. "Floating tigers in the news" - Rotating title.

Very funny - have to give them their due.

Oh! Holograms! I thought they said Hooligans.

That was funny.

"He said Florida!"

Now that's just funny.

How about floating tigers wearing Olbermann and Matthews masks. Be kinda cool to watch 'em eating each other.

Oh wait, already seen that.

re: #8 vxbush

Actually, no. Based on what I learned, they digitally added her in. Wolf didn't actually see her, if I understand it right. She was just digitally added into the live feed.

Right, hence my quotation marks for the word "holograms". :)

Why not? Once the battleground states had a projected winner, what was left to watch? Tigers would be entertaining especially co-anchoring the election desk with Chris and Keith at MSNBC.

Sigfried and Roy were ahead of their time.

Perhaps MSNBC can get so "ahead of the curve" that they'll fall off the cliff...

Buh-bye!

Anyone at MSNBC talk to Sigfried and Roy? I'm sure they'd have some insightful comments, especially the floating tigers. /heh

Now that Olbermann has signed on for 4 more years I am going to take a wild guess that his ratings are headed for the basement since there is no more BDS to talk about. He starts criticizing his party, he will lose his looney left viewers.

Show me a tiger eating Olberdouche - and you've just won me over as a MSNBC viewer.

Why not go with tigers? MSNBC already has the clowns.

re: #24 Sharmuta

LOL. Send them in!

Funny, yes.

As for CNN's hologram - I'd much rather watch a computer generated personality on CNN than Wolf Blitzer. He's awful. Truly awful.

The crappy quality of the recording serves to emphasize the editing. Watched live, particularly on a high-resolution TV, I could see how this might look more convincing. Nevertheless, it's one of the most amusing stunts I've ever seen in the business.

I knew it had all gone to hell when I saw the war "Logos" used during the reporting of Desert Storm.

Still and all, the money spent on 35 cameras to make this happen would have been better spent...REPORTING/INVESTIGATING.

Early on, my wife worked in television news, and actually had her own talk show in San Diego. She, and a good number of colleagues, resigned when the station brought in consultants - who immediately started implementing "happy talk" news.

The hologram is just another nail in the coffin.

Oh, I agree. While I didn't actually see this incident, or know of it until the illustrious Charles brought it up, it brings to mind the Chinese fauxtography of the fireworks over Beijing during the Olympics opening ceremonies. Why waste money on an elaborate hoax when you can do something much more productive for less cost?

Yes, of course. Superior technology in graphics and imaging must mean they are doing a better job at their main purpose, which is to find the truth and report it fairly to The People.

re: #53 Silhouette

Yup.

It would have been more entertaining had she been naked. I think.

Just think how much their ratings would improve if they hired some actual journalists that the public could respect and trust.

I wonder how long it will take before they realize that a good portion of the public is tired of the dog-and-pony shows. (Okay, maybe I would tune in at least once to watch levitating tigers.)

Come to think about it, O is really nothing more than a sophisticated hologram created by the MSM. The sophisticated part can be debated but not the holo part.

re: #45 thedopefishlives

Yeah. And the whole stunt was based on CNN's deceiving the public. Maybe that's really what CNN is all about -- deceit. Blitzer standing there, claiming he's seeing Jessica, whereas in reality, he sees nothing...(CNN was not using actual holography -- it was all a hoax.) How the MSM has descended...nothing more than fraud artists.

The CNN election night hologram is symbolic of CNN's actual investigative news reporting: not real, just the appearance of reality. All surface, no depth. Style over substance.

A new generation of consultants are bringing in "If it bleeds it leads" pioneered by WSVN-TV in Miami. It is stunningly stupid and drags the whole market down.

After WOIO-19 here in Cleveland adopted this model all the other stations tried to catch up. One of the most pathetic examples of sweeps week bottom feeding was an "investigative" report that caught some poor unemployed schlub masturbating to Internet porn at the local library.

Mindless people who watch CNN believe what they see, pay no attention to what they hear unless it has "and Bush sucks" attached to it. Very effective mind control tactic for the shallow of mind.

re: #60 Intrepid

While I know you're quite right, it still saddens me. Are there really so few real intellectuals out there in America who value the substance and who actually CARE about something? Have we collectively descended so low as to be mindlessly entertained by such cheap parlor tricks? I must admit, I'm not liking the answers to those questions, based largely on the voting results from a week ago.

And the news ?

It's basically going to become third world TV. In Guatemala the news had the latest genocide update (the army was killing mayan peasants) and so we'd see the endless close-ups of the mutilated body, the blood on the floor, the sobbing relatives, more of the entrance wounds.

Quite brutalizing, which I think was the intention.

re: #66 jester6

Yeah. I have to go to the library too. Wife checks my history.

It's his handlers that will be doing this schmuckiness for the next four years.

[Link: www.haaretz.com...]

I'd criticize his negotiating methods, but they do seem to work? What a world?

They could use holograms to make it look like Sarah Palin said and did things that she never actually said or did.

Wait, what am I talking about, they do that now with anonymous McCain advisers...

OT, but I just checked the Zero's site to see what he had to say about guns, hunting etc. and I came across this priceless quote:

Obama will ensure that wetlands receive the protection they deserve and will provide a bright future for waterfowl.

Remember back a few years ago when a network, I'm thinking the Comedy Channel, polled young people (young adult range) about where they get their news from? Quite a large number answered, "Jon Stewart".

The dumbing down of America began years ago and we're now reaping the consequences of it. Our schools have adopted political correctness over critical thinking skills. Being entertained over being educated.

I think a great deal of it comes from too many parents allowing their children to be babysat by the boob tube or video games. "Who was voted off Survivor this week?" has replaced "Who survived the Great Depression, and how did they do it?"

When Hollywood entertainers are viewed as respected political pundits, you just know we've gone off the rails somewhere.

Go to the page, then hold down the Shift key and click the refresh button. That should bring in the "fair-weather troop support" logo.

The people now running America think that Tigers and all threats are a video joke. Their concept of heroes also comes from television. The gruff but PC cop from Picket Fences is what they expect. A thoughtles shield for their posturing. Remember the "business man" negotiating with the terrorists in Die Hard?

Way off Topic I was wondering how we can be saved from the oncoming train wreck. Only by Divine Providence and not by human agency. Best hope we have is this scenario. The Electoral College submits it’s votes in December 15th and the votes are opened and counted in Congress on January 06th. If Obama passes away before December 15th then his pledged Electors can vote for someone else. We can speculate on whether it would be Hillary or someone else. If Obama’s prior unhealthy lifestyle were to catch up with him after the 15th but before the certification by Congress (remember that he never released his medical records) then we would have an interesting situation. In theory Joe Biden would be the elected Vice President and John McCain would be the elected President. The only sensible way to resolve the problem would be for McCain to take the oath of office and immediately resign. That would make Biden the President. If the Democratic Governor of Arizona promised to immediately reappoint McCain to the Senate the crisis would be amicably resolved.

I'm with you on that. We're sitting on cash right now too, with no idea where to put it. OTOH, went to a seminar where the moderator recommended looking at stocks in companies that provide things people NEED, rather than WANT.

One example he used was long distance trucking. His point was that, in down times, trucking companies don't buy new rigs, but they still need to focus on maintaining existing ones. So, he said, it might be good to look at companies that provide parts and maintenance services on existing rigs, rather than companies that build new ones.

I, of course, was so poor I couldn't buy a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out, so I wasn't able to act on the tip.

Yep, the moderator of this seminar would have agreed with you - but he'd probably recommend focus on agri-co's that provide foodstuffs that people NEED to have to survive. But he'd definitely have given your idea a thumbs up.

Maybe they could replace that crusty Keith Olberman with the ever energetic Helen Thomas. Yeah, that's the ticket.

re: #139 Iron Fist

Interesting idea. Years and years ago I got a stock tip from one of the guys I was working with doing sheetmetal work (making hoods for restuarants for the most part). He was talking about this new company that had just started going national. he was sinking boatloads of money into it. I, of course, was so poor I couldn't buy a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out, so I wasn't able to act on the tip.

Oh, the company in question was Home Depot. The guy who gave me the tip is probably retired by now.

Too true! At the seminar, Home Depot (and Loewes) were two he recommended looking at - for about the same reason as the trucking deal. In down times, folks may not buy new homes, but they still need to maintain and repair the ones they have.

re: #121 Iron Fist

We're still paying for Carter. Hmm, I wonder if Obama is going to stay around and fuck things up when his time in the Whitehouse is up? That's a cheery thought.

I think that this one, with his hubris, will be very concerned about his legacy - so he will do everything he can to adjust the legacy. This goes double if he is replaced by a conservative in the White House. Just as Carter has little respect for the traditions of the office - I doubt that Obama or his closest staff will as well....as evidenced by their inability to keep a private conversation private.

Just back from the Korean war my father in law (rest his soul) got a job running a delivery truck for the Rainbow Bread Co. A year or two later a good friend of his approached him about coming to work for him at some start up cash register company.

So, stay away from the argula stocks.

Meanwhile, there are now reports suggesting that Obama will carry on some of Bush's policies, including the counterterrorism stuff.

Obama will have to rehabilitate Bush in order to defend his adoption of Bush’s policies. He can’t say that Bush went far beyond necessity and the constitution and then turn around and do the same thing. No, he will patiently explain that it turns out that Bush had most things right and that we need to respect the wise decisions that he made and to finish the work he started.

Heh. That's not going to sit well with the BDS crowd. Not.at.all.

re: #120 opnion

You would think. Obviously, this whole subject, the election, etc occupies most of our minds these days.

The only logical conclusion I can come up with, is that he really does not posses all the qualities that are sung of praises to him, and he is modeled to be what the inner circle wants him to be.

Seriously, in this day and age, being in camera and scratching your middle finger with your face, twice? Especially after the attention the first episode received?

Or the lipstick on a pig? Everyone knew what he was getting at. Even better, quoting Reagan on the campaign trail to your benefit, and then coming off with a low class swipe at his wife in one of his latest attempts at living up to the hype.

I think he really feels some righteous wind behind him. He went through 2 years campaigning, and the media gave him a pass.

I won't put all of the bad taste on him, because I am not convinced he is totally in control. People he has decided to make bedfellows with, I would put on the level of the U.N. shoe incident, but this is all that cool inside the beltway stuff.

The only one who I think might have enough sense to understand how this can hurt them is Biden. Moreover, I think this is his reasoning for making the statements he did. He is great at putting his foot in his mouth, but I think he still might know the premonition of what can hurt them in office.

From your link:

Obama is expected to escape that level of scrutiny mostly because he declined an $84 million public grant for his campaign that automatically triggers an audit and because the sheer volume of cash he raised and spent minimizes the significance of his errors.

Moral of the story: If you're going to cheat... cheat BIG. Got that, kids?

I mentioned it on al earlier thread but it bears repeating. Applebees is providing Veterans with a free meal today. They request a photo of you in your uniform or a copy of your DD214 or a military ID. I just had a very nice lunch, bacon cheese burger, and it cost just the Tip to the Waitress.
Call your local Applebees to ensure your local restaurant is participating in this offer.
