No, they aren’t. They are first and foremost a propaganda machine; they exist to push right wing propaganda, not to make a profit.

The rumors that Michele Bachmann was in _Teenage Vampire Lesbian Sluts From Outer Space_ must be completely false, but if Michele Bachmann really wanted to put the rumors that she was in _Teenage Vampire Lesbian Sluts From Outer Space_ to rest, she would at least issue a denial that she was in _Teenage Vampire Lesbian Sluts From Outer Space_.

You’ve read “Interesting Times”, by Terry Pratchett, haven’t you? 😉

Are you of the opinion that their current strategies are losing money?

The two views don’t have to be in complete opposition, after all. Murdoch gives enough people what they want, he makes money from sponsors. Enough of these people then vote the way he wants, he gets to keep more of his mega-riches.

Win!

There’s a pray away camp for thwarting away liberal charges, I’m sure.

Heh. There’s a local chain of garden supply stores around these parts: Bachman’s. They hate hate hate it when The Congresswoman with the Crazy Eyes ™ gets in the news again, because they get angry calls. They’re all “We’re not affiliated with her! Different spelling! Different family!” Poor bastards.

I was wondering. Good to know I can pick up a bouquet of flowers at Lunds with a clean conscience.

She takes up a relatively small amount of space.

AFAIK, she is completely innocent of any war crimes.

I’m told, but never bothered to investigate…that she has quite a good reputation among people who deal with foster child placement, of which she has had an impressive number. You get Jesus with your macaroni and cheese, but you _get_ your macaroni and cheese. 'Nuff sed.

I was going to let the misspelling of her name slide (you did call her stupid, you know), but this? I’d say that’s right up there in MB territory.

Bachmann and two Congressional buddies, all unhinged from reality, do a press conference in Egypt:[http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/09/07/heres-michele-bachmann-thanking-the-egyptian-military-for-the-coup-and-crackdowns/](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/09/07/heres-michele-bachmann-thanking-the-egyptian-military-for-the-coup-and-crackdowns/)

She is not alleged to have raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.

That is a 3-month-old rant that I didn’t realize needed to be perfect and perfectly spelled. (I knew I was misspelling her name at the time but didn’t really care to look it up - can never quite remember how to spell it somehow.) I’ve noticed you don’t seem to place a high premium on providing cites for statements that you claim as fact so I guess neither one of us is perfect.

All I heard the bitch say was something about marriage being for procreating and a banner across the bottom screaming about Obamacare and figured she must be complaining about the ACA, it annoyed me, and I ranted. Somebody on Fox “News” is always ranting about the ACA so I decided to rant about them.
