Those of the blog-0-sphere may want to pay attention.
We followed and chose NOT to blog on the whole Michelle Malkin (one crazed woman, that's for sure! Whew! Wouldn't want to be her husband...) / AP Iraq source saga. M&M was even going to go to Iraq....don't know if she still plans to. Whatever, girl's batsh!t and who cares.
AP The Associated Press has just struck back very hard against the wingnuts who have been sliming the news org over the case of missing police captain Jamil Hussein -- and it looks as if there may soon be lots of crow-eating going on in right blogistan.
Then there's Disney and Spocko and getting advertisers to pull their $$ - this one is interesting and worth watching. Disney forced the blog to cease and desist. Here's a cached link. Hey, wait, a blog is SHUT DOWN by Disney? Whoa.
MP The Walt Disney Company has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the blogger and media critic "Spocko," effectively closing down his Web site, Spocko's Brain, after the online muckraker instigated a letter-writing campaign that caused national advertisers including Visa and MasterCard to flee the Bay Area ABC-affiliate radio station KSFO.
KSFO features hard right-wing talk show hosts who endorse torture and mock the tortured, called for the public hangings of New York Times editor Bill Keller and other journalists, and demand that callers mock Islam. They also mock their own advertisers, calling Chevrolet "sh!tty" and recommending that Sears' Diehard battery be attached to an African-American's testicles.
