MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY

You off today? GOOD FOR YOU!

Old Joe ain't and he wanted to share
a few slices of real HISTORY about
MLK with you today.


From the radio side...not one OLD
DJ can ever take this day off without remembering
the guy who made IMUS and his shot at
the ladies BB team look T tiny.






The GREASEMAN dropped a thought
on MLK that not only got him
bounced off the air but also
slapped him in his wallet!

His quote ""Kill four more and we can take the whole week off."
along with a good look back
at The Greaseman can be found in
the Washington Post. Click right
HERE for the story.




As for MLK,


Frances Rice as written a
column that will turn even the
far far left's necks!

Frances reminds us that Al Gore Sr.
and JFK were NOT FOR the civil rights
act and that the LBJ used..get this..
the N word to describe Martin Luther King!

Oh and the title of the column is....

Why Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican

It is a great read today and a wonderful
thing to send to all of your far far left
buds. Check it out right here!


Have a great day OFF!

Old Joe

Still on Injured Reserve

Staff is still down with a dual case
of the phillipean Fallaparts and
the BrainscrambledVapors but
because of what Ferris Bueller
would call "choice" stories
in the news Old Joe the
Sanitation Engineer thought he would
get something out there for the bored
and cabin crazy.



First Joe is both bipolar and bipartisan so don't go
jumping him over the wild and crazy things this
primary season is birthing in the news!


BREAKING NEWS

HOW IT ALL STARTED:


Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers.
They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer & would go to the
coast and live on fish and lobster in winter.


The 2 most important events in all of history were the
invention of beer and
the invention of the wheel.
The wheel was invented to get man to
the beer.
These were the foundation of modern
civilization and together
were the catalyst
for the splitting of humanity into 2
distinct subgroups:


Liberals and Conservatives.


Once beer was discovered it required grain and that
was the beginning of agriculture.
Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum
can were invented yet, so while our
early human ancestors were sitting
around waiting for them to be invented,
they just stayed close to the
brewery.

That's how villages were formed.


Some men spent their days
tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at
night
while they were drinking beer.
This was the beginning of what is
known as "the Conservative movement."


Other men who were weaker and less
skilled at hunting learned to live
off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly
B-B-Q's
and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing.
This was the beginning of the Liberal
movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved
into women.
The rest became known as 'girliemen.'


Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the
domestication of cats,the invention of group
therapy, group hugs and the
concept of Democratic
voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that
conservatives
provided.


Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by
the largest, most
powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals
are symbolized by the
jackass.


Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added),
but most prefer
white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw
fish but like their beef
well done. Sushi , tofu, and French food are standard
liberal fare.


Another interesting revolutionary side note: most of
their women have
higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social
workers, personal
injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood
and group therapists
are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter
rule because it
wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.


Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat
and still provide
for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters,
rodeo cowboys,
lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical
doctors, police
officers, corporate executives, Marines, athletes and
generally anyone who
works productively. Conservatives who own companies
hire other
conservatives who want to work for a living.


Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to
"govern" the producers
and decide what to do with the production. Liberals
believe Europeans are
more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of
the liberals remained
in Europe when conservatives were coming to America.
They crept in after
the Wild West was tame and created a business of
trying to get MORE for
nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history:

It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary
urge to
respond to the above before simply laughing and
forwarding it.
A Conservative will be so convinced of the absolute
truth of this history
that it will be forwarded immediately.

MORE OLD COLUMNS!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Dr Phil has
CALLED OFF his
show on BRITNEY.

The bald basher of blatantly bad behavior says
the situation is "too intense" to do a show
on the Britney bombshell breakdown.

TRUTH is the latest report shows the
kid had ZERO drugs and ZERO booze in
her body!

Phil jumped on her like a beagle going
after a plate of porkchops thinking he
could ride her coat tail into the next level
of TV Healer. You have to love it when
a sleazy plan goes bad! Cya PHIL!










FOLKS like last time these are
O L D columns...like in 6 years
OLD. Some of you replied to
the ones from last time as if they
were talking about things
TODAY...THEY AIN'T!

Simply put..they are looks
back at things and folks
who USED to jerk the media
world's chain locally.


Here is one from
2000AND TWO!!!

In the spring Nancy Lynn Trentham left television for a career in the pharmaceutical industry. Trentham, then morning news anchor on WATE, was the second morning team anchor to leave this spring. The last man standing in the morning is Sean Owsley, who is also leaving soon. It is not uncommon for an anchor or meteorologist to leave now and then, but an entire team exiting in less than 6 months is a real event. When people leave in mass the station has to shore up the show until everyone is gone and then hire both in accordance to personal chemistry and talent. WATE has just completed this unique task.


The week of August 19th a new morning team will hit the air on Channel 6. WATE News Director Aaron Ramey said, “We’re excited about putting these three people together. We looked for the right mix of news experience, investigative experience, interview skills, and personality…and I think we’ve found it.”
The new anchor/reporters are Amy Rutledge, Bo Williams, and meteorologist Matthew Miller.


Williams started with WATE last month. In recent weeks he has co-anchored with the departing Sean Owsley. Williams came to 6 from WBRZ in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He is a native of Charlotte, North Carolina. Co-anchor Amy Rutledge came to 6 this month from KVBC in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her hometown is Chicago and she has worked for TV stations in Evansville, Indiana, Reno, Nevada, Marion, Illinois, and Carbondale, Illinois. She is a member of Investigative Reporters and Editors, Incorporated.


The third new team member on “Good Morning Tennessee” is Matthew Miller. Before coming to 6 he worked for KMAC in St. Louis and in Lubbock, Texas. Miller holds a masters degree in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma and signed on with WATE last week.


The plan for the new team is simple, according to 6 News Director Ramey. “Our goal is to continue to make it East Tennessee’s most informative morning newscast. When it comes to covering stories that developed overnight or covering the stories that are developing live during the morning rush hour, Bo and Amy have the experience to know what is news and what isn’t. Matthew’s knowledge of the weather and his experience working in the Midwest means that he’s going to have the most accurate, dependable morning forecast in the market.” The show airs from 5:30 until 7.
One last addition to the WATE lineup is coming next month. Oprah is moving from WBIR’s afternoon slot to 6 well in advance of the upcoming Nielsen rating period. Her show has been a powerful lead in to WBIR’s Live At Five and WATE hopes the tradition continues when she joins the crew at Graystone.

When Scripps announced they were buying the majority of Shop At Home, hundreds of ears went up in Knoxville. The network experienced its major growth when it moved from Newport to Merchants Road. When the shopping channel pulled up cameras and moved to Nashville, just under 400 jobs were lost locally. While in the capitol the company became awash in debt and the culmination of its financial situation may have attributed to the sale last week. If you were one of the many people who waved goodbye as the trucks headed west on 40, and you think they might be headed back due to the new owners, you best keep your day job. Scripps has openly said it is going to enjoy its exposure in Nashville, home of the network. Doesn’t sound like Scripps has any plans to return Shop At Home to Knoxville.
One talent side bar to pop up last week concerned former Shop At Home late night pitchman Don West. According to a press release, he is joining a professional wrestling corporation on their announcing team. It isn’t one of the mega companies, but if West puts the same excitement into describing the opening of “cans of whip donkey” as he did pushing signed and framed Babe Ruth personal checks, it is bound to explode.


LETTERS FROM LAS WEEK.
Ms Farkwad is getting married
and will not return from her
honeymoon at the Alhambra Motel until
March.

Staff will answer questions
from the letters under each one.

Helicopters in Knoxville, Walker?
You've had a little too much of the bubbly!
My wallet is hurting just thinking about
it! Last check of Young Broadcasting's stock says
WATE ain't getting one anytime soon. WBIR might,
but would have to get back into serious journalism
and drop "Glitterville". WVLT's got the fixed-wing
you mentioned, so what's the point if
they have the lock on airborne video?
I'll stay with my newspaper and read about it in the morning.


ANSWER...
The column was from 2002 as in
SIX years ago. Right now there is one
traffic reporting company and unless it
retires there will be one airplane doing them.
NO new moves by any new company to come into the
SHRINKING local market are on the horizon.

As for the newspaper I agree they
still report news at times and at times
still beat the other "old" media types.
Key is to check them ON LINE because the next day
news in the yard is old after 11:20 PM to those
who click their paper open rather than
pull the band off of it.

When I was in Vegas a couple of months ago,
the news helicopters were really buzzing around
the implosion site of the New Frontier Hotel & Casino.
I stood and watched in amazement from my hotel
window for 30 minutes or so. It was pretty cool.

I think Dan Farkas needs to
get a helicopter and report
live from over the top of
Neyland Stadium! Now that'd be good TV!



ANSWER..Great report from Sin City. I bet more than
a few of those choppers flew over from Calf. to watch
them drop the Frontier.

Speaking of "dropping" or clearing off
buildings. Noticed last night (I know
I should get out more) that the old R.S.
Fulton plant is leveled. Another example
of the land being worth more than the
building and another example of the city and the
country easing away from local manufacturing.
That old place sure did leave a big footprint
on both the land and the lives of all those
who worked there.

Helicopters ain't cheap, even to lease.

But a Jet Ranger with gyro-cam
beats the crap out of shaky-cam
from a fixed wing any day.

It'd be a great promotional
tool for covering football/basketball
games in the boonies,
and for promoting true "market-wide" coverage.

Probably won't happen though, because:

1) 10 is too fat, lazy, arrogant
and ratings-rich to want or
need to do it.

2)6's corporate parent is too revenue-strapped to attempt it.

3)8 has little money locally, and
either is unwilling or unable to
tap the corporate purse for a large expense that won't translate into
revenue immediately.

That said -- if one station does it, all will.

Might make this market wake-up from its soft, safe, hillbilly slumber.


ANSWER..WATE had one of the first if not the first TV choppers.
WIVK had one also for a bit..then I think I
remember them going to an old bi wing plane?
One of my favorite stories comes from one of
my favorite sports directors....JIM WOGAN
when he told me of his wild ride in their
chopper up to cover a Notre Dame game.
It sure needs to be in "THE" book
if ever I get the nerve up to write it!

You make some good points in the rest of
your rant...please keep ranting.

WE MADE IT TO 08!

Most rags had year end stories for New Years..
but we are such next level we thought we would look back
at YEARS of old stories. Also the staff is still jail
in Key West so Old Joe (our sanitary engineer)
felt he could keep the joint alive with a fast
look back and then some cut and pasting!


Here are some things from two columns (not a clue which
rag they were in) from late 2002 and also the first week
of 2003.

Enjoy and don't forget to slide over and check out
the local radio history history on this outstanding
blog!






Dec 2002

A former Knoxville TV anchor
is returning to his home state.
John Gilbert has worked for
WPEC in West Palm Beach, Florida,
KDFW in Dallas, KETK in Tyler, Texas,
KLAS in Las Vegas, and locally for WVLT.
Gilbert, an A & M grad and a Texas native,
starts in January at Waco-Temple’s KCEN.
He will be the 6 and 10 p.m. weeknight
anchor for the NBC affiliate.

A full column about a local
Fulton High alumni who hit it
big in Chattanooga!


How many times has the radio traffic
guy told you the road you were on was clear,
while you sat at a dead stop watching
a child in the next car lick a window
and look deeply into your eyes?
You switch to another station and
the same guy is affirming clear sailing as
the elderly couple in front of you exits
their Buick and start pouring charcoal into their grill.
What is going on?
Can’t the guy see everyone
is growing old and a few have even passed away
as he continues to rattle on about the lack
of wrecks or stalls in the morning commute?
The truth is even with all the modern technology and
fast single wing airplanes flying our skies,
reporters around here sometimes just blow it.

One local kid has made both
money and a career out of
telling actually where the traffic is stopped.


Butch Johnson got hooked on radio at
Knoxville’s Fulton High School.
In 1984 he was learning from the master,
former WKGN pioneer Dr. Al Adams.
After a stint on a Clinton radio station
Butch learned to fly at Island Home.

Today that Fulton alum is the only
helicopter pilot/reporter in the State of Tennessee.
His company, Butch Johnson’s Chattanooga Eye
in the Sky Traffic, is also the only company
in the U.S. providing live aerial traffic online.


Johnson is much more than just
the guy with the inside on who
hit who on the interstate.
He also feeds live video to
Chattanooga TV news departments
during breaking news and he is also
the only traffic reporter in the Tri State
area to bring “Electronic News
Gathering Live Eye” video to both TV and the World Wide Web.
His coverage is on over 20 local stations.


Johnson is not only accurate,
but he takes a very dull job and makes it fun.
He would never think of saying a car was on fire,
but if you hear him mention a “Carbecue” you get the idea.
Vehicles are never stalled in Butch’s reports;
they just become “Wrecker Bait” and if you want to see a judge,
just ignore his warning about “Kojack with a Kodak” on your route.


Although Butch has saved
many a commuter a trip to
courthouse he is still
in good graces with the law.
In the Chattanooga area he is
the only reporter to ever have
direct radio contact with Hamilton County EMS,
Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department,
TDOT Help Dispatcher,
Soddy Daisy Police Department,
Signal Mountain Police Department,
and the Collegedale Police Department
using his police call sign “Hamilton County Airwatch One.

I talked with Butch over the holidays
and asked him if he would be interested
in bringing helicopter traffic reports back to Knoxville.
The last helicopter doing traffic on a
full time basis was owned by
WIVK back in the early 70’s.
Since then the local reporters
either use cars or in a fixed wing airplane.
Butch said, “I’m expensive, but I can be had.
I’m not motivated by money.
I’m motivated by the amount of money.
There is a big difference.”
If Johnson did bring his helicopter
into play locally,
Knoxville would join the bigger
markets in both traffic reporting and news coverage.
When major news happens
in large markets the news helicopters
look like bees going to the hive.
Years ago WATE had a helicopter,
but today none of the local stations have one.
If Johnson did come home not only could
you hear about a “Carbecue” on the radio you could watch it
live on both the web and TV. Could it happen? Stay tuned.


The first trend of the Winter Arbitron
came out December 30th.
Trends are just that but like the name says,
strung together they can show a station falling or rising.
This first report showed a few doing both.

HERE COMES 08

(all of the above with the exception
of the older woman are still above ground, yep
even the great looking baby in front. Oh and all are first
cousins and grew into hansom folks)






This year is going to end for us hiding out in the TN Valley kind of cold and wet. Right now (12-30--07 @10:08 in the morning) it is 54 outside and stark.

07 wasn't bad...no fools tried to blow us up (yea I know it isn't over yet) and outside of all these lines behind drawn by those who wanta be the leader of the free world most of us still really do get along.

As for the elections...all of them started begging for votes way too early and it shows on both them and on us.
I think this is a year folks will forget party lines and just try to find one Swinging Richard or Susan out there that is worth our vote. Most if not all kinda fall short of what used to be called a statesmen, still we have to pick ONE so lets think before we hang our chad ok?

That said...enjoy your winter..get OUTSIDE and look around and remember when you see the sky or the hills they will always be bigger than than any problem you have. Drink it in and just relax!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

HOW BAD WAS THE NEWS REPORTING IN 07??
Bad enough to win AWARDS!:


Winning Quotes in MRC's Annual Awards
for the Worst Reporting
The winning quotes in the MRC's "Best Notable Quotables of 2007: The Twentieth Annual Awards for the Year's Worst Reporting." As noted in previous CyberAlerts, the awards issue was posted, with videos, on Monday, December 17, but following tradition, today, Friday and Monday -- the last weekdays of the year -- CyberAlert will run the winning quotes followed on succeeding days by the runners-up.
The Media Research Center's annual awards issue provides a compilation of the most outrageous and/or humorous news media quotes from 2007 (December 2006 through November 2007). To determine this year's winners, a panel of 53 radio talk show hosts, magazine editors, columnists, editorial writers, and media observers each selected their choices for the first, second and third best quote from a slate of five to eight quotes in each category. First place selections were awarded three points, second place choices two points, with one point for the third place selections. Point totals are listed in the brackets at the end of the attribution for each quote. Each judge was also asked to choose a "

Quote of the Year" denoting the most outrageous quote of 2007.
A list of the judges, who were generous with their time, appears in item #2 below.
The MRC's Michelle Humphrey, Kristine Lawrence and Melissa Lopez distributed and counted the ballots, then produced the numerous audio and video clips that accompany the Web-posted version. Brent Baker and Rich Noyes assembled this issue and Eric Pairel posted the entire package, with dozens of Flash videos, on the MRC's Web site: www.mrc.org
MS Word and Corel WordPerfect files of the entire text of the issue are also available at the above link.
For an Adobe Acrobat PDF that matches the eight-page hard copy version: www.mrc.org
Now, the winning quotes in the 17 award categories:
Dynamic Duo Award for Idolizing Bill and Hillary
"When I watched him [former President Bill Clinton] at Mrs. King's funeral, I just have never seen anything like it....There are times when he sounds like Jesus in the temple. I mean, amazing ability to transcend ethnicity -- race, we call it, it's really ethnicity -- in this country and, and speak to us all in this amazingly primordial way."
-- Chris Matthews, MSNBC's Hardball, Feb. 28. [93 points]


America Makes Us Sick Award
"Through every Abu Ghraib and Haditha, through every rape and murder, the American public has indulged those in uniform....We pay the soldiers a decent wage, take care of their families, provide them with housing and medical care and vast social support systems and ship obscene amenities into the war zone for them, we support them in every possible way, and their attitude is that we should in addition roll over and play dead, defer to the military and the generals and let them fight their war, and give up our rights and responsibilities to speak up because they are above society?...[T]he recent NBC report is just an ugly reminder of the price we pay for a mercenary -- oops sorry, volunteer -- force that thinks it is doing the dirty work."
-- WashingtonPost.com military columnist William Arkin in a January 30 column reacting to a report by NBC reporter Richard Engel. Arkin later apologized for using the word "mercenary." [107 points]


Damn Those Conservatives Award
"I'm just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That's a fact."
-- Host Bill Maher on his HBO show Real Time, March 2, discussing how a few commenters at a left-wing blog were upset that an attempt to kill Vice President Cheney in Afghanistan had failed. [91 points]


Blue State Brigade Award for Campaign Reporting
Senator Barack Obama: "Let's roll back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans, let's make certain that those resources go to the people who need it....We're not going to solve it by pretending that issues of poverty and struggle among working families are just going to go away magically because the stock market is going up." Moderator Chris Matthews: "So much of what you say just grabs people like me, because it sounds like Bobby Kennedy. It sounds like the '60s at its absolute best."
-- Exchange at AFSCME Democratic candidates forum shown live on MSNBC, June 19. [78 points]


Madness of King George Award
"You could argue that even the world's worst fascist dictators at least meant well. They honestly thought [they] were doing good things for their countries by suppressing blacks/eliminating Jews/eradicating free enterprise/repressing individual thought/killing off rivals/invading neighbors, etc....Bush set a new precedent. He came into office with the attitude of 'I'm so tired of the public good. What about my good? What about my rich friends' good?'"
-- Ex-Washington Post sports reporter and Seinfeld writer Peter Mehlman in a June 20 Huffington Post blog item. [68 points]


Channeling the Nut Roots Award
MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "Russ Feingold wants to censure the President, the Vice President..." Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore: "Good idea....Personally I'd like to see a perp walk coming out of the West Wing of the White House." Matthews: "Do you think they're guilty of war crimes?" Moore: "Absolutely....I think we need a trial, in this country, where Mr. Cheney and Mr. Bush would be brought up on charges for causing the deaths of so many people...." Matthews: "It's interesting if you go back....the Nuremberg Trials weren't about the genocide, it was about waging an aggressive war. I love reading some of that language. It's interesting."
-- MSNBC's Hardball, July 23. [79 points]


Media Millionaires for Higher Taxes
"It takes leadership. After World War II, we maintained the infrastructure we had and we built an incredible network of highways, and leaders in both parties agreed that these were priorities. Now we have this tax-averse society, rallied by the Republicans, tax-averse, where everything becomes sort of a right-wing, libertarian refusal to let government spend any money or raise any money."
-- Newsweek's Eleanor Clift discussing the Minneapolis bridge collapse, August 25 McLaughlin Group. [74 points]


O Great Goreacle Award
Co-host Harry Smith: "President Bush getting ready to go to Europe for the G-8. The folks in the European Union want to do emissions reductions. The President said yesterday we're not going to participate....If you were president, you would have probably signed on?" Former Vice President Al Gore: "Yeah, yeah." Smith: "Do you mind if I-? [holds up a ‘Gore 2008' pin]...There you go. You can hold it. [laughter]....Here, let's see what it looks like. [holds pin to Gore's lapel]...All right, all right. Save that in a freeze frame."
-- Exchange on CBS's The Early Show, May 30. [64 points]


Politics of Meaninglessness Award for Silliest Analysis
"Perhaps the outpouring of sympathy for [the falsely arrested Duke lacrosse players] Reade Seligman, Collin Finnerty and David Evans is just a bit misplaced....As students of Duke University or other elite institutions, these young men will get on with their privileged lives....They are very differently situated in life from, say, the young women of the Rutgers University women's basketball team."
-- Nightline co-anchor Terry Moran writing on his "Pushback" blog on ABCNews.com on April 12, the day after the North Carolina Attorney General declared the players innocent of highly-publicized rape charges. [66 points]


Good Morning Morons Award
"So I'm running in the park on Saturday, in shorts, thinking this [warm weather] is great, but are we all gonna die? You know? I can't, I can't figure this out."
-- Co-host Meredith Vieira talking about global warming on NBC's Today, January 8. [57 points]


Media Hero Award
"He was not what I expected. He was very dignified. He was warm, friendly. He likes the U.S. It's George Bush that he doesn't like. He also was very personal. He talked about how hard his life was, that he wished he could be in love but you can't be when you are heading a country."
-- ABC's Barbara Walters recounting her interview with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, March 16 Nightline. [79]


Tin Foil Hat Award for Crazy Conspiracy Theories
Co-host Joy Behar: "Is there such a thing as a man-made stroke? In other words, did someone do this to him?..." Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck: "Why is everything coming from the liberal perspective a conspiracy?..." Behar: "I know what this [Republican] Party is capable of."
-- Discussing Democratic Senator Tim Johnson's illness on ABC's The View, December 14, 2006. [72 points]


Perky Princess Award for Katie's Cutesy Comments
"Do you worry at all that non-believers may feel excluded and diminished at a time when we're so divided about so much?"
-- Katie Couric to The Nativity Story's Catherine Hardwicke and Mike Rich in a December 4, 2006 CBS Evening News story about Hollywood movies based on Biblical themes. [84 points]


Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award for Celebrity Vapidity
"I just want to say something: 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?...If you were in Iraq, and the other country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us?"
-- Co-host Rosie O'Donnell on ABC's The View, May 17. [64 points]


Drive By Media Award for Shooting at the Competition
Matt Lauer: "He [Rush Limbaugh] makes a living poking fun at Democrats, but now some think he has gone a little too far in taking on Senator Barack Obama...." Reporter Michael Okwu: "Weeks before the Imus controversy, Rush Limbaugh started airing this ditty about Senator Barack Obama:" Song parody: "Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C." Okwu: "Which lead some to wonder, has Limbaugh been getting a free pass?..." Paul Waldman, Media Matters for America: "This is basically the radio equivalent of a black-faced, minstrel show. You're going back to Amos and Andy and all of those, kind of, racist shows in the past." Okwu: "For his part, Obama says he doesn't listen to Limbaugh but says being targeted is part of being a politician....Legitimate political satire or something darker?"
-- NBC's Today, May 21. Limbaugh's parody was inspired by a black writer who used the term in a March 19 Los Angeles Times op-ed, "Obama the Magic Negro." [79 points]


Not Biased Enough Award
"As we saw in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, the plantation mentality that governs Washington turned the press corps into sitting ducks for the war party, for government, and neoconservative propaganda and manipulation....What's happened is not indifference or laziness or incompetence, but the fact that most journalists on the plantation have so internalized conventional wisdom that they simply accept that the system is working as it should. I'm doing a documentary this spring called Buying the War, and I can't tell you again how many reporters have told me that it just never occurred to them that high officials would manipulate intelligence in order to go to war. Hello?"
-- PBS's Bill Moyers, in a January 12 speech to a conference on "media reform" aired four days later on the left-wing Pacifica network's Democracy Now. [95 points]


Quote of the Year
"As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers feel the pinch"
-- Headline over an October 16 story by McClatchy News Service reporters Jay Price and Qasim Zein.

HO HO HO!

GOOD MORNING...
Uh..WHAT DID YOU GET ME?






I GOT A NEW CAR AND A NEWS STAFF!



AND THESE TWO GUYS TO SHOOT EVERYONE WHO FIRED ME OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS!





AND THEY WILL START BY SHOOTING THE GUY THAT MADE ME FAMOUS!




THIS GUY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MAKING ME FAMOUS SO HE WILL LIVE!



SO WILL THIS GUY BUT THEY ARE GOING TO CUT HIS HAIR!



THIS GUY MADE BOTH OF US FAMOUS BUT HIS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BEAT THEM TO THE PUNCH!




THIS GUY GAVE ME A CHAIR HE TOOK FROM WORK!



AND THIS GUY GETS TO LIVE BECAUSE HE TOOK
ME TRAILER PARK CAMPING IN HIS RADIO STATION!


So what did YOU get this morning?

Here is a Christmas memory to warm the cockles of your heart.
MERRY HO HO!


Here is yet another that will bring a tear to a glass eye this holiday season.





Hey, did any of you have help shopping this year?







Say did anyone give firearms this year? Nothing says Merry Christmas like a nice
9mm tucked under the tree..but as always be careful or you might...do what???

Kids relax. While the
Media Report is on
leave there are several
outstanding local blogs
you need to use when you
get that twitch to talk about
the days when radio was
fun. Hey you can even
crack on the local TV
kids if you feel the need.

The one that is really open
to your thoughts is right HERE and
although it
paints with a
broad brush it still lets
you talk media. I just found it
and who or whatever is
putting the thing out does a
very good job. It just needs
you to toss them your fun thoughts!


The other is my fav when it
comes to both true and fabricated
radio history. The latest post

own the famed STREAKING STORY
coverage from WKGN News in 73.
I just read it and most of what
he said is half way close to the
truth. Hey HALF WAY is outstanding
for old radio horses who are now
paying to have their hay pre-chewed!
Again if
you like radio HISTORY the
person behind this bog is working
like they need the money to
bring you some outstanding stories!
Click here to scoot over and
read Your Dav's jangled memory!



This writer strike is
actually making TV better!
Reason is simple if they can't write
they can't turn out crap. Less
crap=BETTER TV!


All that said...here be the plan.
For however long it takes to get
things working you can find
us posting on the wbir.com
comment board (it is wide open
and fun) and at times on
the two above mentioned blogs.
We have never been accused of being
good at spelling or grammar but in
our altered state some of the attempts to
blog have been really scary! As
the famed writer and far left
short person...Betty Bean
has said..."WE ARE A NIGHTMARE TO EDIT!"
Well Da BEAN should try to read us now!
Bless her heart.

SO
Drop in here anytime, the door is always open but
there won't be much to read for a bit.

Have a good Ho Ho and a Happy New year!

DANG IT I ALMOST FORGOT!
Here are your notes...
Ms Farkwad will reply to them
on her site.

THANKS FOR WRITING US!

MONDAY MORNING DON IS BACK!


Catch him on RFD (see the link
for more on the tv stuff) and lets
all see if he is the same or tamed?

The staff at the MR hopes he comes
out with his hair on fire and his
butt catching..firing both guns
and taking no prisoners. Bless his
old mad heart the Nut Jobs along
with the far left have worked like
FIELD HANDS to pillory this old man and
he needs to let everyone know it, go
get um DON!!!







The radio history blog has
some good stuff about the DATE WITH DOC show!
The blogmeister is doing a great job digging up
facts and lies. With time both blend together!



Who do you trust? In the beginning it was obvious FOX was right
CNN was left and NBC was nuts! Now it kind of looks like
MSNBC ( the nearly dead cable news station that Al
talked into
firing Imus) has turned on CNN over their
use of another Hillary plant in the debate.


OH and this morning


BABS
has announced that she blesses
Hillary and will make her the
next leader of the free world.




As has been reported in the past
Babs is a shade left of center and
a (FOB) friend of Bill.
Just how big a FOB is she?



Well lets just say they are
CLOSE!

It is so much fun to watch libs eat
their young!



Here be the notes and
comments from this week.
As always Ms Farkwad
will select a few of the
more violent ones and
expound on them @

Walker..
this is the BEST post your staff has ever produced!

Please tell Butttterfly to keep up the good work..
See what happens when
you come down out of the trees and find a great job!

As for the Metro Pulse,
they are now nothing
more than a shadow of the sentinel
and an outlet for the left
coast thinkers that run that rag!

Who is the person asking about WFIV?
Better yet what is WFIV?
Sorry but radio died for
me the day XM showed up in my new car.

We still talk about CP and Walker and
the coach. That was radio worth turning on.

Again, keep it up and
add more like this
it was both fun and refreshing to
read after seeing what the
sentinel had to offer this morning.

Kelli parker leaves the
WVLT anchor desk at 6 and 11p.

Barbie-doll girl Abby
(big ole)Hams leaves and
every damn body goes crazy.
Kelli Parker was much more
talented, had more credibility
as a journalist, and
not one peep about her out of any of you.
Believe it or not, I am a WBIR fan,
not so much a Channel 8 fan, but gee,
can't we give Ms. Kelli a shout out?

By the way -
what the hell is Horne Radio?
What a waste of air space!!!!!
That liberal ass needs to
sell all those radio assets back
to the communities in which they are from.
At least the station in Oak Ridge
could probably survive on its own and
make money.
And anybody allowing that
car guy Harry Douglas (Lane)
on more than five days a week
needs to be taken out and shot.
105.3 is a train wreck and
has not been worth a lick damn
since Horne bought it. Bring back the OLD West 105-3 days.

By the way- "WFIV"
call letters meaning-
Farragut's Independent Voice"

Walker, I have read on here in
the past the ratings for Knoxville,
but they always only have the commercial stations.
Is there any way to find out how the
non-coms are doing compared to the for-profit stations?
There are at least four non-comms
that I think are doing well,
but I'd like to have a more definite idea. Can you help?

BORED? Not at all, this stuff is funny.

My family watches 10 so
we don't know who anyone is on the other stations.
If you want to report on someone
then talk about Beth or the ladies onthe show just before
hers.
People know who these people are.

GOOD LORD ARE YOU REALLY STILL HUNGRY?


The staff is still napping after their
Thanksgiving Feast of boiled Spotted Owl,
Snail Darter Tar Tar and large slices of Baboon
(Endangered of course) pie.


The good news is
cub reporter Julia Butterfly Hill



came up with a brilliant idea of raising
the “print” rock and checking
out what those wild and crazy kids
were doing over this
long Thanksgiving/Shopping
Holiday!

Julia reports the good ole far left wanta be
called the Metro Pulse
ran a letter to the editor
that caused even her green heart to jump up and cry,
“Uh..say WHAT?”

The red meat of the letter
was all about how Turkey Creek Shopping Haven
has ruined the largest
wet land this side of Coonassville, Louisiana!


The point the letter writer was
trying to make was instantly harpooned
by said writer when he admitted
he really didn’t care about
much of anything other than downtown Knoxville.
Excuse me? The last time I checked
Map Quest the creek of the turkeys is so far west
you can dang near smell Bowater on a clear day.
Mr. Greenie then made sure his
argument was deader than
a Harp Seal pup’s cracked cranium when
he signed off with
a Sevier County Address!


Still Julia or as we call her Butterfly,
felt the issue of Shopping Center verses Wet Land
was something that needed to be explored further.

Simply put a Wetland is a SWAMP!

Bad things live in SWAMPS.



A Shopping Center is dry and turns bad things



into good things!







Case closed.

All Saints Be Praised Turkey Creek is a good thing!


The greatest story of the week featured
one Clifford E. Clark III
who allegedly told the local
law when pulled over
with a thirty aught six


in the
floor of his van…
"He stated he didn't want
to say what he was
doing because he didn't
want to get into trouble,"

Reportedly Clifford was the star suspect
in the murder of one of those
insidious traffic camera things
that Knoxville has hung all over town
to bolster the “widows and orphans fund”
and nail color blind drivers!


Reports were someone had touched off
a boat load of rounds from a nice size gun..



three of which
drew blood thus
wounding the defenseless camera.
Because our legal team of Dewy Cheatum and Howl
believes the case will be tied up
in court for years we thought
we would just drop the question of
Mr. Clark’s guilt or innocence
and talk about how to shoot out
one of those cameras and NOT be caught!

First if you just have to use a large caliber deer rifle
leave the aught six in the wife’s truck
and borrow this from your step kid’s Uncle Snake!





With this bad boy
you can sit across the county line
and knock those things off
their polls all night long.

Truth is if you want to avoid
riding in the back of the car with the chicken wire
you really need to go old school.

Ask your Grand Pappy about the nights
he used to take out those street lights
before they were housed in that thick glass.
He will turn you on to an arms supplier
that has killed millions of cats, squirrels, birds,
pond gold fish, rats, mice, and snakes
while being made famous by selling
the weapon that almost shot Ralphie Parker’s eye out!





Quiet, accurate and made for those one eyed revenue generators these puppies will get the job done and have you home in the rumpus room long before Barney and the boys arrive at the scene!

Be careful out there and happy hunting!

At last Don Imus has paid his
debt (not the money part a few
of those BB women are going to law
the guy) to a certain segment of society and
is headed back to both RADIO


and TELEVISION!




Here be the facts as we know them
and for Ms Farkwads thoughts on the
return of the I Man dash over to her blog
right now!

GOOD MONDAY MORNING!
The leaves are gone up in the
hills but they still are hanging
around down here.
The above pictures were taken last
year when we had RAIN and color!

In less than a week we “may” know what happened at 105 (WFIV), the AAA FM Flag Ship station of the Horn Radio Network. Less than a decade ago the group consisted of some rather strong local AM stations and an under powered FM. Sadly a questionable Knoxville radio character took over the operation and robbed several surrounding communities of their local stations by firing staff and cutting local programming. The result was something called the Horn Radio Network. The Network not only stripped the stations of their community service and identity but the programming that replaced it has never been much to get excited about. The FM survived the initial gutting but last week the person behind the AAA format hit the bricks. Much more to come on this one..so stay tuned!

She is shallow and will say anything about anyone that crosses her. 6 has a few nice looking women (very few) but I guess Tucker has the big contract so they can't put one in her chair?

Bad decision making on the part of WVLT on Thursday at noon. They tried to do a live report from Nashville and screwed it up. But the press conference was not of an eartb-shattering nature (it did matter to east Tennesseans, though) and should have been taped and edited for the 4pm news. Instead, it made channel 8 appear to be small town tv news. Bad choice.

Getting to look at Stacey made up for it, though. Yummy.
