Monday morning kitty blogging

Breakfast was delicious!

Busy day for me, Mr. Plushy will keep you company.

Dear CNN...

Just a hint, but Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs is neither a photographer, nor an expert on digital photography. His opinion on the authenticity of any photograph is worthless. In fact, his opinion on any subject at all is suspect. Call me crazy, but I would think that if you wanted to authenticate a photograph, you might actually consult a real expert on the subject, and not a rightwing asshole who makes his living peddling the worst sort of conservative hate speech.

I keep thinking that you guys will get a clue and stop helping rightwing assholes like Johnson in his quest to destroy the public's confidence in actual reporting. Let me spell it out for you, since you don't seem to get it.

Johnson and his ilk are interested in one thing, and one thing only- to discredit any information or reporting that goes against their twisted version of reality.

So stop it. Stop helping him. Stop giving the guy who wants to destroy objective journalism a platform. Everytime you do so, you grant legitimacy to a grade A douchbag. You wouldn't give a nutcase who wanted to slit your throat a knife, now would you?

Love, 4lg

PS. Take that idiot Carol Linn off the air. It would be a service to humanity.
