A few weeks ago Geraldo and Bill O'reilly got into a huff about a drunk driver, an illiegal alien, plowied into a car and killed two women. No license--

Yesterday, a car wash worker was killed when an illegal alien lost control of a car he was moving. From my experience- once- the bulk of the carwash guys are Mexican-I suspect that the media would have run with this story had the man killed "someone" else.

now, I can bet you that not one word of this story makes it on to the news.

This is not an political/immigration thread....It's only a media thread-
And the selective story reporting they put out there.

A well aimed blow with an icepick should do the trick :eek:

More media stupidity...


I want to apologize to the rest of America for the stupid anchors/reporters/experts and other media "personalities" who have started in Cah lee fuh nee ah - and make it to the national news.


I want to apologize for Keith Olberman, loudmouth and former sports reporter at KTLA, Pat Lalama- media whore and reporter, Gloria Allred and her evil spawn, Lisa Bloom, Mark Fuhrman, ex-cop and clown..and the idiot, Harvey Levin....former KNBC reporter and moron...

These are rare instances of idiots that report and comment on the news-and I apologize for them... :rolleyes:

STOP IT!

I am easily amused and remember, "Knowledge is power".


I watch Rosemary and Thyme and Antiques Roadshow and the guy that cooks Mexican....I love America's Test Kitchen...

I don't like that Smiley guy!


My TV watching is concentrated on History, Discovery, games show-Triva- not the "pick the winning briefcase" stuff, I am smarter than a fifth grader, don't qualify for MENSA (Or MENSO, LOLOLOLOLOL, Little hispanic humnor there), I can read a map, know a little about quantum physics and know which end is up....

I read like I breath and can do the Sunday L.A. Times puzzle to about 70-80%-Only finished it once....on the same day......

Hence, I don't like the Big Mouth TV personalities I mentioned....I watch them when I need a laugh or really crappy reporting! :eek:

I agree, lets bring out the M16's and the old Panzers and run the illegal aliens out of this country. Illegal Aliens, NOT the Mexicans that are allowed or supposed to be here.

LOCK AND LOAD!!!!!!! :mad: :mad:

Thank you for clearing that up Reggie! xD I am an LEGAL Mexican.

However, I can totally relate to the whole illegal aliens thing. I live very close to the border. I can go on and on with stories, but that is for another thread.

Okay, carry on with your media ranting. Sorry for (kinca)hijacking the thread.

Hokay,
Media HO..... JVM looks like she gets turned on about the bad mouthing everyone that is covering the PH story...but she goes on and on and on...
You should have seen her during the local murders stories when she did the evening news. :eek:
The other thing that bothers me is the "Dorian Gray" syndrome-The broads looked haggard while they were here in LA and then get younger by wearing bangs in their new hairdo-to cover the face life scars..

Liz,
There....See how good you feel now!


Dogz,

No problem about the hijack, as long as we don't fly to a third world country!

Oh, he's not the only TV commentator that I hate to watch, just never
thought it was worth my time to talk about them. No big deal, don't like
them, & don't watch them.

I do like the Sunday morning talk shows. (politics) All the anchors are old
school journalists and ask relevant questions of political leaders, etc.

LOLOL,

When I heard that "the scooter" skated from jail, I just had to turn to Keith Oldturdman to see him rant and maybe watch his head explode!

No dice..... :rolleyes:

But he's almost ready to choke! :D

As i read this thread I was thinking of the situation here in the Chicago area where unqualified drivers paid bribes to obtain commercial driving licenses. One of the first accidents that brought the whole thing to light occurred when a driver who spoke only Spanish had a CDL - but the test was offered only in English - so the media had a field day with that, wanting to know how he could have possibly managed the written test. But I don't know if the driver was in the U.S. legally or not. that could be 10 or 12 years ago already.
