New Media: 10 trillion. MSM: Zero
WorldNetDaily’s latest headline says it all: “L.A. Times Admits False Claim About Falwell.”
A column by a rabbi published in the Los Angeles Times falsely asserted Rev. Jerry Falwell claimed lesbian actress Ellen DeGeneres played a role in the 9-11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina because she was the host of the Emmy Awards before both events.
The Times ran a correction explaining the Baptist minister “made no such claim.”
Yeah, only a nut would say something that crazy! Sane people, on the other hand, say things like this:
I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians… the A.C.L.U., People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America, I point the finger in their face and say, “You helped (September 11) happen.”
Yeeesh, shape up, L.A. Times. The Reverend Falwell’s got a reputation to maintain.
Or to put it another way: “OMG ROFLMFAO MSM PWN3D LOL!!1!!”
Doesn’t this look like a familiar tactic?
Post a story claiming X did something which just happens to be similar to what X’s political enemies are claiming, then expose that story as a lie.
X == Falwell || X == Bush
or to simplify
X == Right Wing Nut
The only thing missing is the outcry.
OK-I’m ashamed of the role we pagans played in the events of 9/11, ’cause you know we’re like evil and godless and stuff…(who knew what an awesome force we could be when we got together with the feminists, gays and lesbians, the A.C.L.U., People for the American Way, and the abortionists?)
There, I’ve done it – now what do you have to say for yourself Ellen DeGeneres? Gloria Steinem, I CAN’T HEAR YOU!)
What? We aren’t actually responsible? Jeez, I was drunk with power there for a minute!
Well, the secret phone-taps on Falwell’s line have recorded all the pertinent info, but Dubya’s not talking.
OK, I have to break down and ask – what does PWN3D mean?
It’s ‘hacker talk’ for owned that’s misspelled because of fingers being faster than accurate some of the time.
I like to think of it as a version of the word ‘pawned’, as in the sense of a pawn being taken off the chess board, they’ve been taken out of the game.
FWIW
The Rabbi only had the wrong goddball.
ROBERTSON BLAMES HURRICANE ON CHOICE OF ELLEN DEGENERES TO HOST EMMYS
?By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God?s wrath,? Robertson said on ?The 700 Club? on Sunday. ?Is it any surprise that the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres? hometown??
Robertson also noted that the last time Degeneres hosted the Emmys, in 2001, the September 11 terrorism attacks took place shortly before the ceremony.

“Well”, “well,” sounds like there’s been some “Fal” play going on.
