MSNBC smears Palin

Ready for this? Here ya go:
"Modeling agencies clueless about Levi Johnston
There’s been plenty of speculation that Levi Johnston, the father of Tripp, Sarah Palin’s first acknowledged grandchild, has been giving interviews to the likes of Larry King and Tyra Banks so that he can land an endorsement or modeling deal. Vanity Fair did some poking about to see whether a modeling contract could be in Johnston’s future, and the prospects look bleak."
MSNBC April 26, 2009 Story

That's journalism? This earlier post shows exactly what the reporter was doing as she was trying to be sneaky and smear Bristol as being the mother of Palin's infant son. Disgusting.

KF, how is this a " smear"? He's a nice looking kid who the camera likes. He has been appearing on the shows mentioned. Trying to turn his celebrity into something more lucrative would be smart. If the modeling agencies aren't interested this minute, so what? It's more of a " so what?" story than a smear to me.

This is more National Enquirer type reporting than main stream media...but then again, MSNBC isn't mainstream media. Not sure what it is.......do my best never to watch it (and am greatly succeeding).

7:43: Go back and read the entire post. Had nothing to do with him.

The same people who so badly want to believe that Palin's child is actually her daughter's child are the same people who won't think twice about the fact that Barry has never proven definitively the country of his birth.

@ 8:50- Uh, other than his birth certificate?

Don't go for the foolishness. There are plenty of valid criticisms to be made beyond this tripe.

One person's tripe is another's banquet.

That isn't the birth cert, that is the abstract. You can't even get a US passport with an abstract. Snopes is not the end all. Tripe with onions anyone?

Are we really discussing Levi Johnson and Bristol Palin when there are so many more interesting and important things going on? I thought for a second I was reading the National Equirer.

No, KF is discussing media bias.

If you somehow mistook JJ for the Nat then get yourself in for a mental eval ASAP.

@9:14- The funny thing about an abstract, of course, is that it is maintained by the Hawaii DHS. So, if they issued one, it means there is an original on file. Keep spinning on this very important issue.

In the meantime, here you go.

Too bad Obama won't put all of this to the truth test by releasing the original.

There's always been media bias like our wonderful Clarion Ledger and the Karen/Stuart Irby lovefest article. It was almost made up with no mention of DNA tests, marriage at eight months pregnant, divorce filings, police charges, etc. All it did was make people who knew the true facts talk and boy have they.

"Sarah Palin’s first acknowledged grandchild"

The implication being that there is one or more that is/are not acknowledged.

That's not necessarily the implication, it's your inference...could be poor writing skills...there are far bigger media bias fish to fry...

And, there's plenty to criticize Obama about without losing credibility by making nonsense claims. He was born in Hawaii, it was a State then. This kind of stuff makes us conservatives look like paranoid idiots.

That is the implication without any other possibility and might be resultant from poor writing skills. Doesn't negate the implication though.

Honestly, what other inference could be made from stating something was the first "acknowledged"?

"Acknowledged" was an unnecessary modifier and it's more of a stretch to assume it was unintentional than to read it as it's written.

And trying to paint this into the same political picture of Obama-bashing does nothing but relieve the writer of their responsibility of providing accurate news.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time.
