— Ace He does have a point.
Asked if his vigorous defense of Snowden suggests he's "crossed a line" from journalist to advocate, he responded:
“Every journalist has an agenda. We’re on MSNBC now, where close to 24 hours a day the agenda of President Obama and the Democratic Party are promoted, defended, glorified, the agenda of the Republican Party is undermined. That doesn’t mean the people who appear on MSNBC aren’t journalists, they are.”He said that every journalist has a “viewpoint” and he doesn’t hide the fact that he finds Snowden’s decision to expose the NSA’s surveillance programs “heroic.”
I think the point is not so much about MSNBC and what happens here,” Welker said in defense of her employer, “but more that sometimes when you talk about Edward Snowden you do defend him, and some people wonder if that crosses a line.”
“Sure, I do defend him just like people on MSNBC defend President Obama and his officials and Democratic Party leaders 24 hours a day.” When Welker pushed back that “not everyone on MSNBC does that 24 hours a day,” Greenwald conceded that it’s “not everybody, but a lot of people do.”
Video at the link.
Joy Reid, an Obama-loving MSNBC HappyParrot (TM), immediately got all butthurt that the Greenwalds Clan had offered an accurate observation about her network. And soon after, she got snippy that Mediaite had merely reported her previous snippiness.
Andrew Kirell quotes a previous criticism of MSNBC by the Greenwalds Combine...
One finds more vibrant political debate in the average conference room of the DNC than one does on BashirÂ’s show. ItÂ’s a staple of cable news that regular access to the show depends on oneÂ’s eagerness to agree with the host as much as possible, but Bashir lowers this dynamic to never-before-seen depths, where one is obligated not only to flatter all his views but he himself. Almost every segment is like watching parrots in a pet shop compete over who can more faithfully mimic the other. ItÂ’s really quite creepy.
At the bottom of that post, Kirell demonstrates the "creepy" tendency of MSNBC guests to parrot whatever it is their host just claimed in a video supercut called "That's Absolutely Right, Martin [Bashir]." Among the parrots caught happily re-chirping Bashir's nonsense is MSNBC guest Joy Reid.
Meanwhile, another MSNBC idiot claimed that Christians' love for Jesus was "homoerotic." He then said he himself wasn't suggesting that, after he himself just suggested it.
And, Open Thread, unless there's some big news coming up. I'm half-daying it. It's kind of a gyp when Christmas falls on a Wednesday.

It's placed in Normandy, Spring of '58. It has a strong 50's romantic comedy vibe. It also includes an American expat who is married to a smoking hot Frenchwoman (Berenice Bejo). The American is a decent, well-grounded best friend of the male lead. Funny, and Déborah François is a sharp actress.

Watching U. of Pittsburgh playing Bowling Green in some bowl game I can't remember the name of. Why do you ask? I grew up near Pittsburgh,,,,,and there is nothing else on. Thats it. Oh, you didn't ask. Sorry for the useless information then. Don't get salty. I worked right through Christmas so not much of a holiday for me. Tonight I drink and prepare for New Years (where I work again). I do have New Years Day off. Cheers! hick ESPN's announcers are boring so I'm listening to The Pogues while the game is on. I've watched enough football that I don't need these twits to tell me whats going on.

Just from the trailers I've seen, one of the differences in the movie from the book is that the goat-herd in the movie was a small boy. I believe in the book it was an old man. They still refused to kill him, so that much is true.

So. Kate Upton and Christina Hendricks on a trampoline. Discuss.
ATC you know only the women here are going to be able to discuss that - the men are all in a state of mental paralysis. Just at the thought of seeing that; we men are pretty much reduced to Neanderthal status. The sound the Monster made in Young Frankenstein is about the only one I can make now; if I could figure out how to type that it would be here instead of these words.

Fans of the Citroen DS refer to the car as "Goddess" because in French pronouncing the letters DS sounds like "Deesse" which is the French word for "Goddess".

What, the first time? I figure it was as soon as the first person read what the Finance guys had done to the design. In those days, the standard was to take the work of the designers, and subject it to the Cheapening Committee, who would replace things with standard parts from other vehicles, and the sort of cheap plastic that retains its "cheap plastic" smell after 8 months. What came out the other end could not ever be good. See "Cadillac Cimmaron."

I never owned one so I can't help you there. Maybe the people who did that dialect test would know the subtle peculiarities of the whimsical Detroit patois.
The K-car was created as a way for Chrysler to make use of their capacity for manufacturing rear wheel drive cars. They were flat out maxed in all their plants making front wheel drive cars and they had all this idle capital equipment for making rear wheel drive cars. The goal was not to make a good car. The goal was to make use of underutilized equipment.

Snowden is a hippie at heart, earnest and shallow and idealistic and stupid. Yes, he's a piece of shit, because he is a traitor. But somewhere in there, he had a legitimate point about government overreach. Had he stuck strictly to that, without exposing real national security secrets, he might have had a claim to moral standing.
I'd still take him over the MSNBC cohort. Does a Toure or a Bashir have any redeeming features at all?

I got to drive a car like that, an Olds with that engine, for a little while, as a loaner. What a hoot! Pressing the accelerator pedal produced a wonderful dramatic low rumble and more torque than you knew what to do with. It was ridiculously long by current standards. It had never heard of the word "cornering". Gas was something you'd have to arrange with the bank at current prices. But it was a serious blast. The only thing close now would be a full-sized pickup with the largest available non-Diesel engine.
