The First 40 Years". It's a wonderful retrospective on public interest reporting, and how important its/their true and unbiased rendering of news and current events have been to us all. They had ovaries!! And to see NPR' stance now ( admonishing its reporters about coverage of the Stewart/Cobert Rally)and PBS' censorship of Fey's remarks makes me angry and sad. If part of the motivation behind all this is funding-- fear of losing federal dollars-- they'd better be afraid of losing public support as well....mine, in particular.cee-ceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665949669222725983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-82243767333218523032010-11-18T00:28:42.155-08:002010-11-18T00:28:42.155-08:00Gotta agree, regardless of the reason, that was a ...Gotta agree, regardless of the reason, that was a bad cut to make... not just because it took the bite out of her statement, but because it actually put her previous comment out of context<br /><br />PS, how do you feel about multiple marriages? adoption? communal living? maybe I could just sleep on couch.... ok so it's just a cheap ploy to say I was under the same roof ;)Noxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-15530416988401233202010-11-17T20:28:53.527-08:002010-11-17T20:28:53.527-08:00This might just be my favorite of all the things y...This might just be my favorite of all the things you've written, and that's saying something.Maxine Dangeroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651725621047030919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-91592785339064601252010-11-17T16:39:20.950-08:002010-11-17T16:39:20.950-08:00What an amazing, dead on and funny paragraph you q...What an amazing, dead on and funny paragraph you quoted from Tina Fey! I wish somebody somehow could put out a short version of the video with just that quoted passage starting around the 12 minute 30 second mark.

And no, Rush Limbaugh should be gagged. Period. There is no redeeming value whatsoever in the vile sickness he spews on a daily basis. You might want to stop listening to him.

The PC movement is, was, and has always been a creation of the left and is an insidious double-edged sword.<br /><br />Campus speech codes, anti-hate speech rules, "be nice to everyone" movements have neutered American discourse. Tina may be a victim of political pandering to the right, but the fear of offending people was enforced by the liberal side of the aisle and is now hurting everyone. <br /><br />Tina Fey and Rush Limbaugh should BOTH be able to say what they want to say without being "trimmed for time." When we stiffle speech and opinion with fear and coercion as the PC movement has done, "we have failed at a very basic level."<br /><br /><br /><i>And please leave Ernie and Burt out of it, they are roommates, nothing more.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-56943232573558586952010-11-17T10:45:27.461-08:002010-11-17T10:45:27.461-08:00I saw this on Anderson Cooper last night!

It's clear that they were uncomfortable with the Palin jokes. <br /><br />Too bad.
