Dumbest Man on Internet to Win “Accuracy in Media” Prize at CPAC

Right wing journalism at its finest
Wingnuts • Views: 33,560

You know how right wingers love to give each other awards with lofty-sounding titles? Well, I do believe we have an all-time winner for the Most Ludicrous Right Wing Award Award, as the dumbest, most unprofessional right wing blogger of them all, Jim Hoft, will receive the Accuracy in Media Award at CPAC.

DERP

WASHINGTON, March 5, 2013 - Accuracy in Media will honor Catherine Herridge of the Fox News Channel for her outstanding achievements in investigative journalism, and Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit for his groundbreaking contributions to New Media in a ceremony taking place at the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on March 14th. The Reed Irvine award is named for AIM’s founder, America’s first media watchdog. …

Irvine praised Jim Hoft, the proprietor of gatewaypundit.com. “His dedication to a free America and his personal devotion to democracy that has led him to cover freedom movements from inside Iran to the streets of Azerbaijan, have propelled GatewayPundit into one of the country’s top resources for right-of-center news and commentary.”

What a fantastic snapshot of the modern right wing! One of the country’s “top right-of-center news” sources is a borderline illiterate religious fanatic with absolutely no journalistic standards, who promotes every single fake outrage and demented conspiracy theory that bubbles up from the wingnut base, lies outright for partisan reasons, has a nauseatingly vicious and racist comments section, and is wrong more often than any other blogger in the history of the web, yet never, ever admits or corrects a mistake.

Right wing journalism at its finest!

And my dad has starting spewing racism over the Immigrant Tuition thing being voted on up in Denver.

He complains about Hispanics and welfare. Never mind that the “taker” states tend to be the stilll white-dominated Deep and Upland South.

No, to him the biggest drains are the poor huddled masses who have always come here.

Ironically (he seems to have the self awareness of a Spaghetti Noodle), he has a large amount of Dutch and German.

And I now for a fact German was very widespread in the the US until World War forced assimilation forward. I think the story with the Dutch is similar.

Contrast this to the Hispanics being absorbed into the US in just 2-3 Generations.

Been playing with Amazon’s Web Services API - if you hover over the album covers in our Now Playing section, sometimes you’ll see a popup caption with a review of the album.

I seem to have a lot of obscure albums in my library, so not all of them have Amazon reviews. But some of them are actually interesting and informative.

I’m actually feeling a little sad about this Jim Hoft award thing, to be honest. When I started blogging there was an unspoken credo that facts were important, and that one of things bloggers did was expose factual errors.

Now, the entire right wing blogosphere has completely abandoned any effort to be factual or honest. They’ll say almost anything, repeat any false story, promote the worst hate mongers.

I think the election of Barack Obama is going to be seen as a very clarifying moment in US history.

I get what you are saying and it is sad, but I look at it this way. The more they believe their BS, the less likely that moderates will vote for them. They need the moderates more than the Democrats. It’s sad that we no longer have debate in this country, but it’s been the right that has decided not to care about facts (and science). Let them give all the awards to Holt and his cronies, it’s not going to get them many votes.

Whoops. Police officer/student resource officer in Highland NY guarding high school accidentally discharges gun in school.

Officer Sean McCutcheon was assigned to the school to protect the students. Officials say his gun accidentally went off around 1:40 p.m., but it is unclear how exactly that happened.

Fortunately no one was hurt. No students were near him at the time.

But the situation has some parents on edge in the small community nestled along the Hudson River.

The Highland Central School District suspended the student resource officer program in light of the incident. The SRO program was started after the Sandy Hook school shooting. It involves an agreement between the Highland School District and Town of Lloyd Police Department.

The school district released a statement: “The incident is being fully investigated by the Town of Lloyd Police Department. The safety of all students and staff remains a priority of the highland central school district.”

re: #33 Charles Johnson

Reporting the facts and holding media outlets accountable for the facts were part and parcel of the reality-based bloggers and initial reason that PJ Network developed.

Bloggers were touted for their accuracy.

Now, these same folks are willfully ignoring facts, logic, and reality, and getting awarded “Accuracy in Media” honorifics.

I think the election of Barack Obama is going to be seen as a very clarifying moment in US history.

Yeah, the right wing has realized that they can say and do anything and pretty much get away with it because they can drown out facts with their illogic bombs.

They can whip the socons and right wingers into a frenzy of hate and vitriol making absolutely baseless claims and using exaggerations and outright lies to push their agenda of seeking absolute power and destroying the current Administration. A majority of voters have seen through this nonsense, but that doesn’t mean that it’s over by a long shot. The right wingers will be back at it soon enough.

I think that’s probably mostly due to the controlled economy and price caps. It creates a black market for essential goods, which is run my criminals, which leads to an increase in crime. Law enforcement is probably pretty good and punishment is strict but there’s a lot of money to be made in a controlled economy. Just ask the Russian mob.

Killgore likes equality, he really does. But like me, what he doesn’t like are people who favor the sort of strongarm tactics Hugo Chavez used. I know that you don’t favor such things, but there are people on the left who do dream about simply steam-rolling those who disagree with them.

It should go without saying that there are also people on the right who think that way as well.

With his death Ahmadinejad and Assad have lost a friend and ally. Gaddafi of course never lived to see his death.

I kind of doubt Chavez was very useful to them. Symbolically significant but not much else. I was thinking about all those Chavez pics you posted earlier posing with his allies. It looks like the cast from the scrap bin of history. None of those people are going to be alive in 10 years, certainly none will still be in power. It’s the end of the line.

re: #86 Charles Johnson

I’m not making excuses for Chavez, don’t get me wrong. He was an autocratic despot.

I’m just saying that there were historical reasons why he was so popular in Venezuela.

What drives me nuts is how the usual suspects will give people a hard time for trying to figure out why people would snap and elect someone like Chavez.

It’s totally not helping.

104 lawhawk  Tue, Mar 5, 2013 7:22:01pm

re: #86 Charles Johnson

There are reasons why I referred to him as [T]hugo. He was a strongman at heart and attempted to grab control over the government at any number of points during his rule. Despite his autocratic tendencies, he knew that if he could sway the poor with promises of redistributed wealth (expropriated from corporations and the well-to-do), they could succeed. They didn’t. They still suffered, and the economy has been moribund other than the money rolling in from the sales of oil.

That is the real thing keeping Venezuela afloat - and it also happens to be the thing keeping Cuba going as well. Now that Chavez is dead, the relationship with Cuba is likely to come under scrutiny and Cubans may end up feeling the pinch even more than Venezuelans will now that Chavez is gone.

I have no beef will Venezuelans who support him. My main concern is with the American moonbats who know better and still support him. They don’t consider him a lesser of two evils or with caveats about being a marginal but flawed improvement.They liked him for what he was and that’s fucked up.

Chavez had no problems delving into conspiracies and wackaloon rants. Heck, some of his stuff went right into Alex Jones territory (as related by Hitchens, Chavez wondered whether AQ was really behind the 9/11 attacks, or whether it was real at all and not a US prop).

You forgot something.

Oil.

Meanwhile in Venezuela, Hugo Chávez’s party has unanimously approved a measure of solidarity with the Syrian regime, hailing its so-called reforms and praising it as a role model. Correo del Orinoco, a state-funded paper, continues to publish pro-Assad commentary. And the president and his cabinet have, on numerous occasions, publicly and fiercely defended the fuel shipments and given their “strongest support” to the Syrian tyrant.

That depends on who replaces him. He was a cult of personality, even if his designated replacement assumes power and holds it there will probably be a pretty significant drop off but the Chavistas could linger for another decade. There’s also the possibility that other forces may take advantage of the power vacuum over the next month or two. Military, opposition politicians, anything can happen until the new regime consolidates power.

I’m so weepy about Chavez. Seriously, some of the crap I’m reading on Twitter. Chavez took power in 1999. He’s been el presidente for 14 years. Venezuela has nothing to show for it other than perhaps a slight lowering of the poverty rate from near death to almost death. A doubling of the crime rate. One of the highest homicide rates in the world. Rural poverty that would make your jaw drop.

Palling around with dictators like Gaddafi, Ahmadinejad, and Assad. Providing oil to the Assad regime helping him slaughter his people. Skyscraper slums. Yes, skyscraper that are gutted and filled with impoverished people. A belligerent state that still plans on hosting Russian strategic military assets. Chavez, an anti-Semite, homophobic, conspiracy theory loving asshole. Fuck Chavez! And the good thing? Hugo Chavez is still dead.

I’m actually feeling a little sad about this Jim Hoft award thing, to be honest. When I started blogging there was an unspoken credo that facts were important, and that one of things bloggers did was expose factual errors.

I feel more than sad regarding this award. And full of ridicule for a bunch of projecting like minded individuals eager to accept any written word because it enforces their ill prepared position. Keep your focus on facts, it is still where the sane ones expect a minimum standard.

The funny thing is most of the speakers at CPAC spout divisive terms like Alinsky and Orwellian when rebutting points counter to theirs while their actions show a prime directive to follow the same. Hoff’s award is certainly Newspeak.
