President Bush has driven the GOP right into the gutter and it’s finally starting to show in the wingnut media. Remember BillO going nuts in New Hampshire when he was given the B-list treatment by Barack Obama? We’ve covered a few of the latest warriors to fall, but my friend TRex has a more complete list of the losers: (Caution, may not be suitable for work)
Actually, it’s illustrative of the fact that the Pox News Cargo Cult is either dying off in waves (they are all 90 years old, after all), that Heath Ledger’s ghost is having a laugh at Gibson’s expense, or just that the wheels are totally coming off the Right Wing Propaganda Machine.
In the last six months, we’ve seen:
1. Michelle Malkin fired from “The O’Reilly Factor”.
2. Ann Coulter’s book sales tanking and her credit cards getting declined by Publix.
3. Melamine Misstatement fired from her job.
4. Tucker Carlson tossed out on his amply padded backside.
5. And now Jumpin’ John Gibson being taken away to be rendered into fat for cheap tallow candles for The Poor or whatever. Read on…

Yeah. The public has smartened up a bit, so the hate mongering frenzy of ignorance isn’t selling like it used to sell. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.
LOL! Love it when that happens.
Karma, baby, Karma.
It’s all too good to be true. They’ll be back and stronger than ever before we know it. Kind of reminds me of that movie with Bruce Campbell in it - what was it called, lol?
Let’s not get too comfortable.
You have 30 plus wingnuts spewing the exact same filth every day for twenty four hours, even the peabrains of the right are going to figure out that is a couple too many. When the message is so compact four jackasses and two howler monkeys should do.
Yikes!! A frightening line-up of gourds across the top of my computer screen (shiver).
Let’s hope the trend continues. When Billo and Sean Hannity are gone, I think much of the public hate speech we see will die a natural death. I think their brand of pundicizing stirs up the worst in people, presents a small world to people, and is dangerous.
People have had it with the right wing smear machine. Not only are these people are responsible for the distortions they proclaim as fact, they have brought us the worst President of the United States. With fresh voices like Rachael Maddow and Keith Oberman the public finally want a new voice. Now if we can get rid of Faux News, the world would be a better place.
God what does it say when the least offensive character in that motley collection of weasels is Tucker Carlson?If you could extract the combined energy expended by these nuts in hating all things Democratic,just and fair and convert it into let’s say..money?You could run your own “News network” and call it oh I don’t know…um..”Fox”?Oh wait-that’s already been done.Ok,convert it into food,and feed the whole damn planet for a year.

In the case of FAUX news, I figure that Ailes and Murdoch have decided to cut costs and used especially John Gibson, because he has been there for a while, that Billo and Hannity, you all better not ask for more money, on the next contract.
Let’s hope the rumor of their demise is not premature.
That pix of Coulter is terrifying, I will have nightmares. That’s scares little ‘ol me.
Let’s hope it goes on to include Bill O’Liery, Shun Insannity and Lush Limpdick!
P.D. @ 7:
Are you really serious, please for your own good just take a look at the ratings, on the radio compare Rush and Seans ratings to Err America oh I’m sorry air america, Olbermannn is lucky to get a 3rd of the ratings Bill does. This is not right wing propoganda these are facts. Now I can just sit back and wait for all the idiot responses, non of which can challenge the the facts. Unless of course you are so deranged you believe Karl Rove controls the ratings.
Troll, I’m not deranged, just hopeful!
what does tucker carlson have to do with the GOP?
Don’t jump the gun in declaring victory over the right wing media yet. These are only a few of the most obnoxious and overtly obvious purveyors of right wing propaganda. The ones we need to really worry about are those in the Corporate Media who cloak themselves in a veneer of objectivity yet unquestioningly regurgitate right wing talking points and framing as if they were forgone conclusions. It’s the Wolf Blitzers, Jake Tappers, Chris Matthews. Katie Courics, Chris Williams and numerous other talking heads like them that do more harm than all of these over the top transparent partisans combined. Worse than Fox News are CNN, MSNBC, ABC and CBS who misinform the general public and keep it wallowing in ignorance while their viewers think they are being informed.
I wonder how much impact has been made by the democrats refusal to appear on FOX?
The dark cloud that contains this silver lining is that their collective viewer ship, with all that time on their hands, seems to have descended on us like a hoard of trolls. The air here is getting to be rather like that hovering over Mexico City.
as long as they are replaced with REASON!
Troll @ 13:
Ratings mean very little, many smart people don’t have TV, only numb nuts view right wingers.
What I don’t understand is why Jonah Goldberg’s book ‘Liberal Fascism’ continues to do well. Are ‘real’ people actually buying that dreck, or are the sales figures just due to wingnuts buying his book in bulk. Very odd indeed.
Troll @ 13:
Yet the Rethugs lost both houses of congress in the last election and stand to loose even more seats in the next election, go figure. More Americans may be watching the reich wing propaganda more than say Air America or Olbermann but clearly most Americans aren’t buying it.
In the immortal words of John Lennon:
Instant karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you’re gonna be dead
The neocons decided to re write history.
Fox is their biggest tool.
Mix a little Hillary Health Care and No New Taxes. (Well that didn’t work ask Bush Sr)
Mix a little Willy Horton and Iron Mike Dukakis. Carpet bomb the airwaves.
Attack, slash, divide, demoralize, and no surrender.

Can Glenn Beck bet his big cup of Karma now and get his crazy ass of HLN?
The demise of right wing pundits has been grossly exaggerated. The right wing propaganda shows on Fox News dominate the progressive programs on MSNBC and CNN. O’Reilly and Hannity ratings numbers are stratospheric. Both of those Republican Party apologists more than triple the TV ratings of their cable news rivals in the same time periods.
Good Riddance. They can always take pride in nearly succesfully destroying the country and our constitution.
Unfortunately AM radio, and its phalanx of GOP stooges, is intact (Dennis Praeger, Michael Savage, Michael Reagan, etc.) I left Michael Medved out because he’s at least well-informed even if he is blinded by all his neo-con fellating.

What progressive programing on CNN are you talking about? Glenn Beck? Try again troll abob.

Excellent, bad government and Media all away around. Lets all hear that Chris Mathews short laugh, Huh. Actually sounds a little like a pea wee Herman to me.
First line Journalist across the board have stiffed America for years. That is why we are, were, we are at.
It should be a requirement to be on the public electromagnetic domain spectrum, to openly publish any working contract first line Journalist have, like IMUS types, because of the direct citizen contact, and all those responsibilities that underscore those ideals of free speech, without treachery in contextual manipulation, that could form fraud and deliberate deception counter to the Constitutional ideals. The Media should take the responsibility to educate, inform in a timely way, and perform feedback, oversight, and follow up reporting to the citizens as prescribed in the Federal Communications Commission Mission. As for now the American media is like the Paparazzi. They have failed America there by made America failing.
America you see this stuff is not built into the Constitution, but can be through a government agency that works for you, yet now abused for political and power reasons, and, ironically deceit is supported by our very own Supreme Court. Politicians that lie are not considered guilty in the free speech domain spectrum. That kind of ruling is grounds for our Congress to impeach all those Supreme Court Justices that support that. Remember these jobs are for life but they can be removed by Congress for any reason, even if they wear red socks and we don’t like it. Whats great Congress is the final word in impeachment they are out.
OK, repugs suck.
But should I accept all left-wing comments here or elsewhere?
Don’t think so.
I might vote for Gov. X. And if he’s indicted for crimes, and then convicted, I might grumble, here or elsewhere.
But if Gov. X violated the law, and was convicted fairly, should I complain?
Well, Scooter Libby was convicted. And then his sentence was commuted.
It’s all politics, one may say.
But what do we want? Dems or Repubs? Or the rule of law?
Troll @ 13:
So all those wingnuts are getting fired because their ratings are too high? Interesting theory.
I mean come on get real imagine what this election would be like if Big Media wasn’t constantly carpet bombing people with disinformation, fear, and terror.
What happened to the days when our intelligence did a fine job protecting America without constantly fear mongering the public that were all going to die if we don’t vote Republican?
Snowball
While I agree with you about the lack of objectivity in the MSM, including the individuals you mentioned, I’d first like to see the pundits gone who encourage people to hate by upfront lying to them and general nastiness. Then (or at the same time) we can put some serious pressure on the media to stop gentillely lying to America all the ways they do. Insist that when people are interviewed and lie, they state it in no uncertain terms. They need some backbone. But I fear as long as the majority of the media is owned only by a few, that day’s gonna’ be a long time arriving.
abob @ 27:
That should reassure all the wingnuts who are getting canned.

—>> NO arguement here. People want entertainment, not news, so they go to Fox.
Ideally, they want to see more of Britney’s twat, but let’s not go there right now, mkay??
CNN is giving them a run for their money with great pieces like: “Queen Kong vs. Barack-zilla”
“Heaven” help us all.
Troll @ 13:
Your viewership stats are fairly accurate. Recent primary statistics would indicate, however, that they aren’t getting much farther from the tube than the fridge. Certainly not as far as the polling booth.May their eyes forever lovingly rest on Billo. As the southerners say: “Bless their hearts”.
This is why Fox gets the eyeballs made plain and simple:

Bill Gates in the early 90’s said everyone would be smarter if they have a sea of “content” constantly piped into their TV’s, Computers, Cell Phones, iPods, etc. etc.
Then Bill Moyers had a show recently on PBS where college and high school-educated respondents were asked to find Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Israel on a world map and only 23% of the college-educated under the age of 25 and 6% of high school-educated could find all four, despite the fact that the map they were given was labeled.
“Heaven” help us all is correct.
EStamm @ 21:
Yeah buying up books in bulk is a typical ploy,but there are a lot of people out there that desperately want to be reassured that their self serving “convictions” and “values” are perfectly sound,and not the product of a feverishly deranged,hate pulsating “Bats in the Belfry”Brain Pan.That’s where this assortment of flamboyantly hypocritical assholes come in.
If the right wing pundits are going down the tubes America has only itself to blame. :)
Ok, and the internet blogs who expose them for what they are.
Yep. Books are pumped the same way penny stocks are and for the same reason. They’re worthless.
Ample? Making fun of a person’s appearance huh?
What’s next, calling Dick Cheney “four eyes”? Or someone Republican Senator’s kid “brace face”?
Honestly, I never understood how most of those brain-dead regurgitrons got jobs in any MSM to begin with. But I’ll refrain from too much celebrating until I see what replaces them in the long run.
Greetings Xoites. Feeling frisky this evening? There are many trolls wandering about down below.
