The Liberal advantage in media

Just another example....

The Obamas have had few more obsequious media allies than NBC's Jimmy Fallon. Now that he's taking over the hallowed ground of "The Tonight Show," Fallon's proven ability to spread his reach into viral videos on YouTube promises to become even more politically potent.

Fallon's Obama-friendly sketches and interviews have become immediate "news" grist for the Comcast corps at NBC and MSNBC. The same sensation happens when Fallon is ripping into a Republican.

Just as NBC and MSNBC were tearing Gov. Chris Christie apart over "Bridgegate," Fallon joined this political crusade by bringing on liberal rock star Bruce Springsteen for a jokey version of the hit "Born to Run."

Fallon and Springsteen sang clumsy lyrics that Christie was "killing the working man who is stuck in Governor Chris Christie's Fort Lee, New Jersey traffic jam." The YouTube video went viral, while the media played it up as another nail in the coffin they were building for Christie's career.

The NBC press agents are trying to paper over Fallon's political tilt. A Parade Magazine profile on Feb. 16 oozed that Fallon "persuaded Brad Pitt to yodel, President Obama and Mitt Romney to 'slow jam the news,' and Tom Cruise to crack raw eggs on his noggin." But why pretend?

n 2012, Fallon's "slow jam" with Obama featured the president trying to sell his allegedly wonderful plans for college loans, and Fallon followed up by uttering in a low voice, "Awww yeah. You should listen to the president. Or as I like to call him, the Preezy of the United Steezy."

After Obama trotted out campaign attacks against Republicans, accusing them for raising interest rates on students to keep taxes low for billionaires, Fallon added: "Mmm, mmm, mmm. The Barack Ness Monster ain't buying it." Singer Tariq Trotter then sang in tribute: "He's the POTUS with the mostest!"

Fallon ended this spectacle later by stating the ridiculous: "We don't take sides politically on this show."
(and I'd bet some idiots actually believed it)


It's worse than that. Obama invited himself. Fallon excitedly described on "Today" afterward how "the White House called us" about doing the skit. Matt Lauer asked: "He booked himself on your show?" Fallon gushed: "The president booked himself."

Try to imagine a conservative Republican attempting to pull this off.

Yeah...little Jimmy....another liberal dimwit getting his licks in on "the enemy" (as Obama claimed,) on network tv every week night.....will he be another
Bill Maher, another Jon Stewart or another Colbert....
doesn't matter, he'll just be another propagandist, cheerleader for the liberals, like so many others, we will have to contend with...
He'll be funny and use the ever popular strawman to mislead his listeners into believing hes giving them the factual truth....
 
I can easily imagine George Bush calling up Jay Leno and booking himself on the tonight show BACK WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
 
Liberals have access to Microsoft Word documents from 1970.

If that's not an unfair advantage, I don't know what is.

Liberals have a sense of humor and enjoy comedy, people, such as yourself have no sense of humor and therefore, no comedy shows.

Irrelevant? Fuck you. Read the last line of the OP that you wrote, moron.

And how do YOU know for a fact that it never happened?

Let's be real, liberals enjoy political comedy at their expense just as much as Republicans do which is close to zero.

a sense of humor is a wonderful character trait....its just sad that liberals mistake jokes for truth and strawmen arguments for facts....Jon S. is quite good at it and
still keeps it funny........Saw Colbert try to use the strawman tactic to ridicule O'Reilly's auctioning off his notes from the POTUS interview for charity for the vets, and fail miserably....he was pathetic....
 
And I can easily imagine the next republican president calling up Jimmy Fallon and booking a spot... Assuming that Fallon has not retired after a long career before that call occurs. ;)

In some circumstances it can be safely assumed that if a certain event had occurred, evidence of it could be discovered by qualified investigators. In such circumstances it is perfectly reasonable to take the absence of proof of its occurrence as positive proof of its non-occurrence.

didn't you know that ?
 
Fallon is the quintessential low information voter. He seems to have the political acumen of a 9th grader. He's so uninformed he makes statements like saying they don't play political favorites while it's demonstrably untrue.

It is amazing that, with the most evil and reactionary media in the world, the KKK weirdoes still whine. It is reality that is unfair to the poor wetleg buggers.
