Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and husband Todd visited a Chick-fil-A on Friday. CNN used the Pink song "Stupid Girls" to lead into a report about it. (Image source: Facebook)
A CNN segment on Sunday morning started off a report about 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin showing her support for Chick-fil-A with the pop song “Stupid Girls.”
NewsBusters flagged the segment, which featured the Pink song as a lead in to host Randy Kaye’s discussion:
[Music and lyrics]: Aha, aha. Stupid girl, stupid girls, stupid girls. Maybe if I act like that…
RANDI KAYE, ANCHOR: Sarah Palin is apparently hungry for chicken and controversy. She posted this on Twitter and Facebook: “Stopped by Chick-fil-A in the Woodlands to support a great business.” That is her and her husband Todd. Chick-fil-A has come under fire after, we were just telling you, after its president Dan Cathy came out in opposition to same-sex marriage. Several communities now trying to block Chick-fil-A from coming into their cities. Fellow Republican Mike Huckabee has organized that Chick-fil-A appreciation day scheduled for Wednesday.
Jazz Shaw at Hot Air observed that cable news anchors generally have nothing to do with the bumper music selected for their segments, usually handled by production staff instead.
“CNN can – and probably will – easily say that it was all a coincidence and it might be hard to prove otherwise,” Shaw wrote.
Last year, then-Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was introduced on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” to the song “Lyin’ Ass Bitch.” NBC ultimately apologized to Bachmann for the off-color song choice.

Posted on July 29, 2012 at 6:19pmAs I told all of you long ago, it’s time to hold the media responsible for their action on a more personal plateau. Shun those that work in the media- at the bowling alleys; at the grocery store at little league games; at the movies; at the Red Lobster; at the mall—anywhere you encounter someone in the news media metaphorically spit on them and let them know they are regarded lower than the worst of the used car salesman.

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 8:56am“Jazz Shaw at Hot Air observed that cable news anchors generally have nothing to do with the bumper music selected for their segments, usually handled by production staff instead.”
He means the production staff is responsible for abysmal content and falsifying information, as NBC did in the Zimmerman tapes by editing our some words and including others, and CBS did when it doctored the tapes of Zimmerman to make it appear as if he had no injuries.
Or, how about the producer for Dan Rather? I’m referring to the radical leftist zealot who thought it was her job to falsify info about Bush, which got both her and Rather fired.
These despicable liars will stoop to any lengths in trying to advance their perverted, disgusting agenda, especially since telling the truth about it will reveal the stupidity of it all.
“Last year, then-Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann was introduced on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” to the song “Lyin’ Ass Bitch.” NBC ultimately apologized to Bachmann for the off-color song choice.”
“Lyin’ Ass Bitch?”
Is this country being ghettoized or not?
Until the advent of the promotion of black music and rap, would we have ever had a song title like that?
The country keeps slipping downward. The empire is in the process of implosion….right now.

Posted on July 29, 2012 at 4:54pmI am thoroughly disgusted by the mainstream news media and entertainment media. Time and time again they demonstrate their obvious bias and blantantly dishonest or unprofessional behavior. The Zimmerman 911 call editing (which arguably led to anger resulting in some deaths), the Andrea Mitchell Romney speech editing, among many. I have stopped giving them my business long ago. Apparently others have as well as can be seen by CNN’s ratings plummet. But the idiots at CNN still don’t understand why. They seem to think their ratings plummet is over style.
CNN, listen up. It is unprofessionalism like this incident that resulted in your ratings plummet. You honestly deserve to go out of business and I hope you do.

Posted on July 29, 2012 at 5:07pmI, too, was disgusted with the media and stopped watching broadcast stations in May 2008 when mainstream media died. Stopped watching Fox News when they kicked Glenn out and O’reilly proved himself a bloviating nutcase. Then, recently I discontinued satellite tv since there were only a handful of stations that I would watch other than the church tv channels. I get all my news, sports, and media from XM and broadcast radio and the internet.

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 12:02amHow is the current media any different from the media of 100 years ago, or even more? In 1898, with William Randolph Hearst was cheering on the sidelines for a war with Spain, based on the supposed Spanish involvement in the explosion on the USS Maine in harbor in Cuba. Hearst was absolutely doing the bidding of McKinley and V.P. Teddy Roosevelt, who had a big hard-on for conquering the Philippines from Spain. No President of the United States had a seriously adversarial position with the press until Tricky Dick Nixon. I well remember him telling the press that “You won’t have Dick Nixon to kick around any more” after he lost as governor of CA in 1962.

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 8:40amNeed any more proof this nation has been turned over to a reprobate mind? Check the list of actions and PC “morality” listed in Romans 1:18-32; it’s all demonstrated, from our election campaign rhetoric and voting trends, MSM, to OWS in varying degrees. We‘re under God’s judgement folks (v32 Who _knowing the judgment of God,_ that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them).
I know Glenn is optimistic we can take this country back… I’m not so sure. Have we spit in the face of God one too many times? Looking at the roughly 40/40/20 political breakdown of the electorate and the corruption that exists in the 40% (Republican) “conservative” element and loosely defining them as the most Biblically based (assuming that the 20% “independents” are split between us believers fed of with both sides and raging leftists), what would be left of this nation if God would “purge” this land of its sin… not enough to survive, I fear.
Looking at the emergence of a One-World evil and the state of world politics, we MAY be entering a period of tribulation that this world has never seen and will never see again. If THAT is the case, the rules have changed and only those who are listed among God’s remnant will survive. Regardless, the days ahead will be painful. The line-in-the-sand has been drawn; what side are YOU on?

Posted on July 29, 2012 at 4:32pmI got into an argument yesterday with a good friend of mine who is gay himself. He and his partner of 30 years are great guys. But on this subject he totally, passionately believes, (and said so in these exact terms) that the President of Chick-Fil-A, or of any other company, for that matter should NOT BE ALLOWED to express an anti-gay-marriage position. It was shocking to hear a person who has always been a reasonable person take such a blatantly anti-freedom position. And, according to him, this bigoted position is held almost across the board by most gays.
Report Post »Winedude
Posted on July 30, 2012 at 12:08amSince the anti-gay position is based on religion and since, according to the First Amendment “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…”, any law trying to regulate gay marriage is obviously unconstitutional.
