When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

KATRINA PIERSON IS JUST GALLACTICALLY STUPID

Fuckface Von Clownstick spokesperson Katrina Pierson quickly painted Mitt Romney as a sore loser on Friday after the former governor slammed the prospect of her employer becoming president.
“I think Mitt Romney’s really just upset because when he did attack Donald Trump on his business, Donald Trump let the whole world know that he had a Gucci store that was worth more than Mitt Romney,” Pierson told CNN host Wolf Blitzer. “So this is just sour grapes.”
The tete-a-tete between the Trump campaign and the GOP’s 2012 presidential candidate touched off when Romney rejected the idea of voting for the real estate magnate, saying that he could generate “trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, [and] trickle-down misogyny” if he were to be elected.

“As an individual I simply can’t put my name down as someone who voted for principles that suggest racism or xenophobia, misogyny, bigotry, who’s been vulgar time and time again,” Romney told Blitzer.

Pierson responded by mocking Romney’s stance.
“There’s somehow a concept that being against Donald Trump is somehow against your values, against your integrity,” she said. “The last time I checked, if your values included surrendering the Supreme Court, giving up the First Amendment, Second Amendment and all those that follow, if those are your values, then maybe you should vote for Hillary Clinton because that’s what’s going to happen if these Republicans don’t support their nominee — which is what they asked all of us to do when it was Mitt Romney.”
Katrina Pierson, congratulations, you are today's asshat of the week.

“ARCHAIC SYMBOL OF RACIST INSURRECTION”




Wednesday’s Daily Show started off by picking apart people defending the Confederate battle flag by saying it reflects their “heritage,” arguing that no matter how they choose to remember their ancestors; the nation at large will remember them for fighting to preserve slavery.

“It’d be like saying you support flying the Nazi flag because you’re proud of their robust anti-smoking agenda,” Stewart explained. “But that wasn’t really their thing.”

With Southern lawmakers now openly calling for at least discussing taking down the flag in their respective states, Stewart said, it was getting harder to find people willing to defend their “archaic symbol of racist insurrection.”

Stewart then took on an official from the Sons of Confederate Veterans who said that taking down that flag would lead to a “slippery slope.”
“Let me explain to you how the ‘slippery slope’ argument usually works: usually when you do the ‘slippery slope’ argument, you like to end it in something bad,” Stewart said. “You don’t go like, ‘The next thing, black children don’t have to go to schools named after men who wouldn’t have allowed them to learn how to read.'”
While hoping that the debate surrounding the flag would spur a larger conversation concerning systemic racism in the US, Stewart suggested an alternative all Americans could support — a flag depicting a pig being barbecued.

“That’s how barbecue was probably invented: an ingenious Southerner saw a pig on fire and thought, ‘I can work with this,” he said.
