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.

BREITBART.COM - EVEN THE GHOST OF BREITBART WOULD BE ASHAMED - WELL MAYBE NOT

WILL THE REAL LORETTA LYNCH FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL PLEASE STAND UP


Dumbasses at Breitbart.com attacks wrong Loretta Lynch.

Rachel Maddow spent her entire opening segment last night ripping conservative media and Breitbart specifically for running that ridiculous Loretta Lynch piece about the wrong Loretta Lynch. But Maddow used this to go after right-wing media as a whole for making up their own facts. In case you need a reminder, Breitbart ran a piece claiming Lynch, President Obama‘s nominee for attorney general, was part of Bill Clinton‘s Whitewater defense team.

Except that was a totally different Loretta Lynch. Not at all the same person. And Maddow took a reasonable amount of glee in ripping Breitbart over the error, mockingly asking, “Why won’t the lame-stream media tell the truth?!”

Maddow hammered away at Breitbart for a few minutes before broadening her critique to a conservative “parallel universe” where “no matter how stuff gets corrected or laughed at or ridiculed or even occasionally ignored in the real media, on the right, this is what the news looks like.”

And Maddow kept going:
“Conservatives have built themselves a very popular, very successful media landscape that doesn't just tell conservatives what they want to hear in terms of opinion. They just make stuff up. They make news stories that aren't true. And when they get corrected in other places, they never disappear from the conservative media.”
MADDOW EVISCERATING BEITBART



From Media Matters for America:

Following a publication of a media matters story, Breitbart.com added corrections to the articles that confused the two attorneys, noting at bottom that "[t]he Loretta Lynch identified earlier as the Whitewater attorney was, in fact, a different attorney." Later on November 9, Breitbart.com removed the article by Warner Todd Huston. The full article can be read here.

Members of the conservative media are attempting to scandalize President Obama's Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch by suggesting she was involved in the Whitewater investigations of the 1990s. However, the Loretta Lynch that played a bit role in Whitewater -- an investigation into fraudulent real estate deals that did not include any wrongdoing by the Clinton's - is a different person than Obama's attorney general nominee.

According to a November 8 Breitbart.com article by Warner Todd Huston, "few are talking about" the fact nominee Lynch "was part of Bill Clinton's Whitewater probe defense team in 1992." Huston pointed to a March 1992 New York Times article that "reported that Lynch was one of the Clintons' Whitewater defense attorneys as well as a 'campaign aide.'" And in a November 9 article Huston's colleague, Breitbart.com Senior Editor-at Large Joel Pollak wrote, "The connection to Whitewater ought to provide additional fodder for Republicans during Lynch's confirmation hearings":

Conservative website American Thinker made the same mistake, misidentifying the "Whitewater" Lynch as a graduate of Harvard -- the school attended by nominee Lynch.

Nominee Lynch became a federal prosecutor in 1990, two years before the other Lynch participated in the Whitewater investigation. In 1999 she was appointed by President Clinton as a U.S. Attorney and she currently serves as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. 

Having had many battles with the dead Breitbart [himself] myself [over his "stop raping the people" rant at CPAC] nothing surprises me of the lies and propaganda that they spew. Like Fox News, Breitbart.com or any conservative in general for that matter - the Modus Operandi of these trolls:
"propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident that they are acting on their own free will".
Nice try Breitbart.com, but you're still the worst conspiracy theorists in the world, and the worst at relaying true facts to your low information readers.

Congrats Breitbart.com for being today's worst humans in this world.

BULLSHIT ARTISTS

USE THIS BAG WHEN GETTING FACTS FROM LISTED NEWS SOURCES


Republican politicians, conservative talk show hosts, conservative authors, and all Fox News media types - are all very capable of convincing their unlettered followers of bullshit they emit. From Benghazi, to Presidential birth certificates, the heaping pile of steaming dog shit that oozes from these media outlets - is exponentially massive.

Republicans often talk about the media's "liberal bias", and while MSNBC promotes a progressive message during their prime time line-up, the news organization often tags themselves with the slogan "lean forward." But at least they are honest about their positions and their reporting.

NFTOS has covered numerous Faux News stories [and other right wing-nut news sources] - where the "fair and balanced" aficionados, at best, have had a problem with facts - frequently stretching the limits between fact and fiction. [If you use NFTOS search engine you shall see 8 pages of bullshit labeled to Fox News].

Faux News is not the only conservative information source that struggles with telling the truth. Below is a list of 50 bullshit artists, a guide if you will - a who's who of conservative news fecal matter masters.

Why are "contemporary" Republicans so full of shit? How did the party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and General Eisenhower get taken over by such lying, thieving, self-serving scoundrels?

To often is the case, that the radicals on the right try to demonize anyone who is willing to tell the truth. The real truth however is, that the majority of the right wing-nut media outlets (TV, radio, internet, print) are owned by big corporations [Koch Whores] who try to protect the radical conservative archaic ideology. From big news outlets to small time blogs, there are many places that you want to avoid when trying to get good news and information.

BRIETBART FLUNKY CAN NOW ADD CONVICTED PROBIE CRIMINAL TO HIS RESUME

JAMES O'KEEFE, DOUCHE BAG EXTRAORDINAIRE


Conservative blowhard and media fixture James O’Keefe rose to stardom in 2009 after posting an undercover video supposedly showing employees of the now-defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) agreeing to help him smuggle underage prostitutes into the US. The video circulated widely in the conservative blogosphere, where activists saw the clip as proof that ACORN, a major force in community organizing and voter registration drives, was corrupt. O’Keefe’s sting destroyed ACORN’s reputation and the employee, Juan Carlos Vera, was fired.

Only later did it come to light that Vera called the police to report O’Keefe after he left. Four years after the video went viral, O’Keefe has agreed to pay a $100,000 settlement to Vera.

By filming Vera, O’Keefe may have violated a state law against secret recordings of an individual’s voice and image. Though he was granted immunity from criminal prosecution after turning over the raw videos to the California attorney general’s office, Vera and other ACORN employees sued O’Keefe privately:
In the settlement, O’Keefe says that before the video was shown on TV or posted on the Web, he was unaware of Vera’s assertion that he had called the police to report O’Keefe and Giles for proposing an illegal act. The lawsuit was filed on the assertion that O’Keefe broke a state law prohibiting the surreptitious recording of someone’s voice and image.


O’Keefe’s other videos have been exposed as either complete lies or deceptively edited. Last year O’Keefe’s attempt to expose voter fraud by non-citizens actually featured US citizens. The conservative activist has also been arrested for trying to bug a Senator’s phone. In his ACORN pimp sting, O’Keefe deceptively edited in the famous pimp costume later, though he actually wore a suit and tie at the ACORN office.

O’Keefe’s settlement is the latest blow to the credibility of radical conservative media. Breitbart.com made a stir by accusing now-confirmed Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel of taking money from a shadowy organization with the outlandish name “Friends of Hamas” — a group that turned out to be fictional. Soon after, allegations by the Daily Caller that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) had hired a prostitute turned out to be entirely fabricated. The fake scandal had also been shopped around to the New York Post and the Star-Ledger Time, but neither could find any evidence to publish the story. Larger conservative media outlets like the Drudge Report, however, enthusiastically amplified these stories with little or no scrutiny.

Despite the payment, O’Keefe is refusing to back down. In a statement, he absolves himself of any liability, saying, “The settlement admits no liability and there is no benefit from extending this ridiculous lawsuit…Sadly, this is the cost of exposing the truth.”

Let's face it readers, this punk is the slime that runs through our cesspools. O'Keefe is a major reason why abortions should remain legal, and instead of the 100 grand fine - how about we make an example out of this mouth breather and [test Sean Hannity's theory that water boarding isn't torture] water board his posterior endlessly, Dick Cheney style?
