Jymn — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:41:24 +0000

Diana Mehta of the Canadian Press tries her best to polish a dirty diaper but in the end comes off somewhat like a nursemaid confronting a bawling infant. Fox News North is one year old and failing badly. It’s pulling in a paltry 0.1 per cent of viewers.

Although Mehta attempts to paint the network’s 12K . . . → Read More: Toddler Sun News Network turns one. Still in diapers.

Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

Jymn — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 15:33:33 +0000

Occupy will stay underground and grow its infrastructure and goals. More and more organizations and individuals will pledge allegiance to the movement. The media will interpret this lack of visibility to the failure of Occupy and continue to treat supporters as dirty fucking hippies. The year of Occupy will have to wait until 2013. Instead . . . → Read More: Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

BREAKING. Fox News North quotes Margaret Atwood: “Libaries (sic) cause cancer”

Well, not the real Sun News Network. But 22 Minutes’ Geri Hall does a bang-on impression of a Krista Erickson Fox News North type host ‘quizzing’ Margaret Atwood. It goes something like this:

Host: “Don’t libaries (sic) cause cancer”?

Atwood: “Of course not”.

Host “Oh, I didn’t realize you were a medical doctor? Are . . . → Read More: BREAKING. Fox News North quotes Margaret Atwood: “Libaries (sic) cause cancer”

I haven’t had that much exposure to Fox News North but from what I’ve seen there’s obviously something fishy happening at that network which is symptomatic of a bigger issue with the North American right-wing male of the species. Listening to Brian Lilley’s chipmunk voice or recoiling from Mark Bonokoski’s lispy spittle or laughing . . . → Read More: Sun News Network and the emasculation of the North American right wing

With echoes of Krista Erickson snaking her arms in imitation of dance, Harper is doing his own particular jig to stop artist Franke James from expressing her view of the Conservatives’ dismantling of environmental controls. James is the victim of the Con machine trying to silence her work by doing everything in its power behind the backs of . . . → Read More: Conservatives: controlling the message is paramount even when it’s art

If you don’t care to view all of it, it was basically Krista Erikson in her best Harper blue dress berating Montreal dancer and long time cultural icon, Margie Gillis on her Fox News North show. How she would flail her arms, basically mocking dancers, twist Ms. Gillis’ words around, . . . → Read More: Fox News North In Trouble–Again!
