Lauren Weinstein: If MTV Calls, Hang Up

Lauren Weinstein writes "Usually when one gets a call to participate in a news-oriented television program, subterfuge isn't a worry. But in the brave new world of 'newsertainment' -- a blurring of news and entertainment -- you really need to watch your back. Herein is the sordid tale (posted last night to Dave Farber's "IP" list) of what recently happened to me -- and my narrow escape -- when Viacom/MTV Networks came calling, asking for my help to educate the world's youth about important topics (in this case, the scourge of spam). Be warned. It could happen to you!"

    Well, there's also the LAUGHTER during the daily show. The only laughter I have with Fox News is when they pair Sean "the devil" Hannity with a sycophantic pussy and call themselves "fair and balanced."

    Alan Colmes, if you're out there: I hate you. You do for liberals what Barabra Streisand does for Democrats: you keep regular thinking people away because they don't want to be associated with you!

    I call em as I see em. They are lucky I am not calling them terrorists, traitors, bedwetters, nosepickers, godless, america haters, pinkos, lefties, fags, comunists, heathens, wackos, feminazis, green nazis, and thousands of other awful things republitards call democrats.

    How come you guys can dish it out but you can't take it? Be a man and stop your whining.
