Misleading Headlines, False Advertisement, False Hopes

Thumbnail image for Gay Porn As Blog Content. Mediaite Weighs In.

What I intended to be a simple resignation and explanation seems to have turned into a bit of a media game of ping pong over gay porn as content, the latest round starting with Michael Triplett’s “Does The Gay Media Have A Sex Addiction?” in Mediaite yesterday afternoon, followed by Joe.My.God sharing his thoughts.

Tonight, in the final story on MSNBC’s “Countdown,” Keith Olbermann joined Twitter, and John Hodgman taught him to tweet. Here’s Olbermann’s first tweet – somewhat mysterious, and a few are wondering if @KeithOlbermann was trying to contact his largest fanbase, #TCOT. In the first sixty seconds, Olbermann scored 1109 followers and was added to 84 [...]

Just a few hours ago I wrote, “Erick Erickson Of Red State, CNN, Exposed As Homophobic, Racist, By Jon Stewart, Change.org.” Now, I come across this, which proves Erick Erickson is dangerous.

Blogger Erick Erickson’s homophobic, racist, disgusting diatribes are inconsistent with the high standards of journalism CNN portends to uphold.
