Scary bugs and brain dead reporters

The scary bugs news story is that it’s been a bumper year for the deadly giant hornet and folks in Shaanxi Province are getting badly injured and even killed by these apocalyptically creepy bugs with ginormous stingers and toxic venom.

Giant hornet queen

This video news story said the attacks were in “northwest” China.

Shaanxi is pretty darn close to being right in the center of China. It’s kinda north, but definitely not west.

Shaanxi Province, China

But the super duper seriously humongous MEGA FAIL goes to CNN which first off appears to place the attacks in HONG KONG with a brief story that says, “Disturbing story out of China …” with this screen and no further information about the actual location of the attacks in China.

Then, having goofed that bit up, they take it further and try to “ejukate” us all about “Where in the world is Hong Kong?” with THIS graphic:

2013_10 07 CNN puts Hong Kong in So Amer

Ummmmmmmm … that would be SOUTH AMERICA which is, you know, like a-whole-nother CONTINENT from ASIA where Hong Kong is … besides which the hornets aren’t in HONG KONG EITHER.

Aren’t these brain-dead Leftists the same people who honked and snorted at “dumb” Sarah Palin because she said “country” instead of “continent” when talking about Africa? (Which is totally Not At All like saying there are 57 states in America. Or something.)

CNN and NBC cancel Hillary specials

Allahpundit at Hot Air pondered why anyone would have EVER wanted to make a movie about “a wronged spouse who became a passable U.S. senator and then a subpar presidential candidate before rising above it all to achieve mediocrity as secretary of state.”

Raising McCain

I’m really tired, so you’re going to have to work a little for the laughs, but trust me … it’s worth clicking and scrolling through three pages at Twitchy about Meghan McCain’s new t.v. show on Pivot network.

I googled and learned Pivot is a new cable channel launched by producer and president Evan Shapiro, who also writes for HuffPo. The ad says, it “has an appealingly humble aura. It’s diverse, it’s global, it’s progressive.” Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Mostly, it’s just Left. Which means Lame. But oh so mockworthy and Tweeters and Twitchy are up to the job! There’s some really funny stuff in these threads.

First, there was Meghan who took to Twitter to self-squee over an ad running for “Raising McCain.” Mocking ensued.

Second, Evan Shapiro (the producer and president of Pivot … I know you probly forgot that by now) took to Twitter to insult all the tweeters who had watched the premier and thought it stunk. Whining (Evan’s) and more mocking ensued.

http://twitchy.com/2013/09/14/pivot-president-just-wont-let-people-enjoy-raising-mccain-like-it-was-meant-to-be-enjoyed/

Third, the ever-forgettable Evan Shapiro continued to snit tweet Meghan’s unfans the next day. Somehow it segued into a gun control debate. Evan predictably spit out all the usual Democrat Talking Points (minus any evidence, natch). Tweeters schooled him.

And in other cable entertainment ratings news, this season’s Duck Dynasty premier had more than 11 million viewers. Happy, happy, happy, happy.

TIME magazine helps keep Americans stupid

Destroying America is very high on the Left’s To Do list. Making sure American voters are dumber than dirt is key to this effort.

And you watch MSNBC-NBC because why exactly?

2013_08 Screenshot of MSNBC way wrong map

Besides NY and PA, nothing in that photo is within 100 miles of being correct.

2013_08 Screenshot of MSNBC way wrong map w overlay

But at least they did get NY and PA correct. Not like NBC. Last month, those bozos went and left New Hampshire clear off the map. Oh what the hey. 59 states. 49 states. Who’s counting?

2013_07 NBC leaves NH off map

Oh wait. NBC. MSNBC. Aren’t they like RELATED or something?

Maybe we can give partial points or a participation trophy or a self-esteem certificate. Cuz we wouldn’t want them to FEEL BAD about being stupid schmucks, now would we?

Oh wait. Yes. We would.

Because they so are.

2013_07 07 CNN Wrong flag

… Flags are hard.

July 6, 2013

  • CNN anchors argue on air whether it is appropriate to describe the SFO plane crash as “horrifying.”
  • Wolf Blitzer updates about passengers and crew still missing, “They don’t know where they are right now, uh, presumably, uh, they’re searching.”
  • CNN asks a lady if she was shocked when she saw A PLANE CRASH. So much dumb in that question.
  • Wolf Blitzer wonders aloud, “Did people get sucked out the back?”
  • Wolf Blitzer obsesses for 30 mins about 60+ alleged ppl unaccounted for, even AFTER official press conf says only 1 still missing.
  • Wolf Blitzer and Richard Quest ramble about passenger count. Apparently can’t do subtraction problem on air.
  • Tweeter notes a cheap calculator could have saved about 40 minutes of broadcast news time.
  • Tweeter begs CNN to give Wolf an abacus.

July 3, 2013

  • Huge upheaval in one of the most geopolitically important nations in history. CNN gives priority to live coverage of Zimmerman trial.
  • CNN airs statement from Egyptian military: Constitution suspended. President thrown out.
  • CNN assures viewers they’ll get back to Zimmerman “in a moment.”
  • CNN website refers to ousted Morsi as “Morsy.”

2013_07 01 N word vs cracker

  • Since you’re censoring one of the two, doesn’t that answer the question?
  • Seriously? They spent TIME on this?
  • That’s not fair and balanced! FOX would’ve had some crackers on that panel!
  • Where would we be as a society without hard hitting journalism such as this?
  • Question: N Word Vs. Cracker: Which is Worse? Answer: CNN.

MSNBC: Not a real news source

Once again, Chris Matthews has demonstrated his complete lack of functioning brain matter by declaring, “We don’t have any African-Americans in the United States Senate.”

Actually, we have two: Republican Senator Timothy Scott and Democrat Senator William Cowan.

2013 - two black US Senators Scott and Cowan

It is true that both were appointed to fill vacant seats, not elected, but Matthews doesn’t make the distinction.

And it’s not like they were appointed last week, so maybe he missed the news. Oh wait. He is a newscaster. And he specializes in national politics. So even if they were appointed last week, he should be right on top of it.

So can anyone explain to me how he did NOT know that two blacks have been sitting in the U.S. Senate since January and February, respectively?

Besides the obvious fact that Obama Worship turns a person’s brain to soup, I mean.

Halp us Jon Kerry!

A Republic requires two things to succeed: An educated electorate and a free press. A hundred years ago, Progressives set out to destroy the United States of America. Today, we see the fruits of their labors.

2013_03 07 Illiteracy among NY grads and CBS reporters

A CBS New York article bemoaning the lack of basic literacy skills among recent NYC high school graduates was apparently written and/or proofed by someone lacking basic literacy (and computer) skills.  Spell check would have caught mistakes like nervus, chnage, grouip  and emersion.
