Did anyone watch that documentary on the 5th Estate tonight about left vs. right media in the States, with lots of attention paid to O'Reilly, Coulter, and some hack Vancouver based ###### named Marsden?
Good stuff. The rightie-tighties have a pretty good track-record of hatchet jobs but it was nice to see the tables turned a little bit. I know I know the CBC has their own bias but whatever. It was fun.
More than once they showed O'Reilly berating and screaming at an anti-war activist who had lost his father in the WTC on 9/11. Really shouting at the guy telling him he has disgraced his father's memory and show some respect to your father and that kind of thing. Looked real good on him. Screaming at a grieving son on television and telling him he has disgraced his father's memory is high quality stuff. What a maggot.
This Marsden woman (can't remember her first name, she works for UPI and is on the radio in Van once a week) has been on the O'Reilly show and seems to be the "voice of the Canadian conservative" on that show. The 5th Estate guy gave her the what-for for a few minutes and then the voice-over said something like "she, like O'Reilly, is under investigation for sexual harassment, and she's pleaded guilty to stalking a former boyfriend and had other charges brought against her by some other guy". So he says to her "do you think it's fair to bring up personal things" (paraphrased very poorly) and she says "yes" and he says "so what do you have to say about Dave and Jim who brought charges against you, is that fair game" and she was pretty stunned by that. "That has nothing to do with this" was basically her answer.
The best was Ann Coulter though. They showed that famous footage with her saying "Canada should be afraid we don't roll over" and other clever things. Eventually this exchange took place:
Annie: "Canada used to be our friend, you sent troops to Viet Nam..."
Host: "No, Canada didn't send troops to Viet Nam"
Annie: "You are wrong"
Host: "No, Canada didn't send troops to Viet Nam"
Annie: "IndoChina"?
Host: "No, Australia sent troops, not Canada"
Annie: "I think you are wrong"
Host: "Nope"
Annie: "I'll have to get back to you on that
VoiceOver: "She never got back to us."
What a stupid pig.
*strong bias involved in this post. I just wanted to share and hope that a few people would read and revel in that disgusting skank's public humiliation just like I am. If you don't share my political views then giver nails.
