From the April 11 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
On The Record: Feb 5, 2014: Ellie Sandmeyer (Media Matters) posted an article stating that "Laura Ingraham's Attacks On Sonia Sotomayor Miss Her All-American Heritage." In Sandmeyer's mind Ingraham had the audacity to suggest Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor "has to choose between her "immigrant family background" or the Constitution." Sandmeyer says that "Ingraham's smear is both rooted in the premise that immigrants are separate from mainstream American culture and is completely off the mark given the fact that Sotomayor is an American citizen and the daughter of American citizens." The article is only about five paragraphs but Sandmeyer bases her whole diatribe on that what she is claiming is the "Ingraham premise." The fact of the matter is, though, that she is making an assumption about Ingraham based on a few words in one sentence out of long speech. And clearly the premise of the Media Matters article is based on an opinion by Sandmeyer. Not a very critical analysis news which I assume is a goal Media Matters is striving for. (I am, of course, assuming that by their name and media matters to Media Matters). I have to wonder, though, on this one if Media Matters has an established quota which writers have to submit, so, in desperation they have to create an issue out of no issue.

ON THE RECORD: Jan 27, 2014: Rachel Alexander (Intellectual Conservative) says "Obama Criminalizes Dissent, Goes After Dinesh D’Souza " She says of the charges against D'Souza: "There is an old saying that a good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, and as a former prosecutor, I agree" and contrasted it with Democrat John Edwards who "received numerous $2,000 donations from support staff and paralegals at large law firms, many all on the same day, nothing happened to him. Overlawyered reported." She notes several critics of the action including Laura Ingraham and Matt Drudge: "Conservative commentator Laura Ingraham calls it an act of political retribution. “This indictment is the kind of thing that we’re kind of accustomed to seeing come out of a place like China,” she said. “They jail dissidents, they put them in reeducation camps. This is a country run by people who act more thuggish than fair when it comes to conservatives.”Matt Drudge, founder of the Drudge Report, tweeted on January 23, “They are going after the Obama critics with indictments. VA Gov. Now Dinesh D’souza. Holder unleashing the dogs…”

People like Obama and Sharpton vetted it initially like a racial case that needed attention. There are, however, similar and even more disturbing cases going on nationwide all the time. HLN needed to air something after boring us with the Arias trial. Al Sharpton at MSNBC needed someone to carry is "race card" banner. CNN fell in rank and file probably because they are all about being entertaining now (via Zucker). And Fox News ended up carrying the banner more and more each day until it was pretty much the only news they reported (with some exceptions). Clearly this shows the power the media has in "capturing" peoples attention. Like lemmings to a cliff.......

The following is an excerpt from Shock Jocks: Hate Speech and Talk Radio, by Rory O’Connor with Aaron Cutler (AlterNet Books, 2008).
Laura Anne Ingraham (born June 19, 1964) is an American radio host, best-selling author, and conservative political commentator. Her nationally syndicated talk show, The Laura Ingraham Show, will air throughout the United States on Courtside Entertainment (beginning on January 2, 2013), and she is the official guest host for Fox News Channel’s The O’Reilly Factor.
Ingraham launched The Laura Ingraham Show in April 2001, which is heard on 306 stations and on XM Satellite Radio. The show was originally syndicated by the now-defunct Westwood One, but moved to Talk Radio Network in 2004. Ingraham is also the official guest host of The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News Channel and a weekly contributor with her segment, "The Ingraham Angle." In 2012, Laura Ingraham was rated as the No. 5 radio show in America, by Talkers Magazine. On November 27, 2012, Ingraham announced her departure from Talk Radio Network and will be off the air after more than nine years, declining to renew her contract with TRN. She said, in jest, that she decided to "pursue my first loves – modern dance and the xylophone". Ingraham was the second major host from TRN's lineup to leave the network that year: TRN's other major program, The Savage Nation, left TRN two months earlier. Her new program, syndicated |
