No More Miller Time for Border Security Supporters

Posted by techlizard on Tuesday, September 05, 2006 9:00:00 AM
Miller Brewing Company contributed tens of thousands of dollars to a convention and march of illegal aliens in Chicago, and appears to be supporting a radical "open borders" policy, at least according to the company's local market development manager, Mathew Romero:

"Romero said he wasn't worried that some opponents of illegal immigration would be upset at the company's support of "the free movement of people, labor, goods and services."

Get all the details from Michelle Malkin.  Meanwhile, someone is starting a "boycott Miller" movement.  I don't usually get behind boycotts, but it's easy enough to find products equivelant in cost and quality to the mediocre fare offered by Miller.

Meda Bias on the Illegal Immigration Front

Posted by techlizard on Friday, September 01, 2006 9:12:44 AM
The Media Research Center's new report, Election In The Streets:
How The Broadcast Networks Promote Illegal Immigration proves beyond any reasonable doubt which side of the illegal immigration debate network news comes down on.   According to the report, networks even avoided mentioning their own polling data in "immigration" stories when the numbers overwhelmingly favored tougher border and immigration controls (as high as 89% in one CBS poll).  The money spent on the polls didn't go to waste, though.  The data was useful in anti-Bush stories:

CBS did not cite its own poll findings that 87 percent (April 6-9) or 89 percent (May 4-8) of Americans said that the problem of illegal immigration was "very serious" or "somewhat serious." But CBS used the polls against President Bush. On March 30, Jim Axelrod noted Bush was facing "strong Republican opposition" and "attacks from his own party, who paint him as out of touch with Americans on immigration reform, since polls show most Americans think immigrants here illegally should be forced to go home."

This is yet annother great report from MRC.

Kyra Philips Top Ten List

Posted by techlizard on Friday, September 01, 2006 8:51:26 AM
CNN's Kyra Philips was certainly a good sport about her on-air equipment malfunction, which inadvertantly broadcast her bathroom conversation over the President's speech.  Here's the top ten reasons for the snafu, as read by her on Letterman last night:

10. “Still haven't mastered complicated on-off switch”

9. “Larry King told me he does this all the time”

8. “How was I supposed to know we had a reporter embedded in the bathroom?”

7. “I honestly never knew this sort of thing was frowned upon”

6. “I couldn't resist a chance to win $10,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos”

5. “I was set up by those bastards at Fox News”

4. “Like you've never gone to the bathroom and had it broadcast on national television”

3. “I just wanted that hunky Lou Dobbs to notice me”

2. “Okay, so I was drunk and I couldn't think straight”

1. “You have to admit, it made the speech a lot more interesting”


Hat tip to Brent Baker forstaying up late and transcribing the list.  I like Kyra, not something I can say about many CNN anchors, and I'm glad CNN let her have a little fun with this embarrassing incident.
