GACK!  Obamedia taking over airwaves!  “1984” is NOT, repeat, NOT a fantasy!

So, just wondering what the pondering pundits of Big Hollywood have to say about yesterday’s Sarah Spectacle.  The answer:  nothing!  Nary a word (unless there was something to be pried out of the open thread junk closets but I didn’t have the heart to go there).  No, the news there was far more ominous - NBC and GE are promoting “Green Week” this week.  And the Obama administration is ALL FOR IT!  Which apparently is a *bad thing*.  Because, well JUST BECAUSE!!

First out of the chute was Harvard Law grad/youngster Ben Shapiro whose piece is summed up in one of his final paragraphs (flying spittle warning):

How can the quid pro quo here not be seen as a soft payola scandal?  Clearly GE is directing NBC to push the Obama green agenda using all of its available outlets in order to both flog GE products and in order to incentivize the Obama Administration to continue directing a river of cash to GE.

Slightly less vehement, while at the same time enormously less coherent, come the arguments posited by Patrick Corrielche. 

His bio describes his claim to fame:

Patrick Courrielche is best known for breaking the controversial National Endowment for the Arts “propaganda” story.

He is also cited as a regular guest on many Fox shows including O’Reilly and Glenn Beck. How then does that square with the first few sentences of his “conclusion”?  Ah, I get it, read the rest. 

Now of course there are sincere people that have a real concern for our environment and man-made pollution. I know many of them and include myself in that mainstream group. They create low toxicity products, encourage recycling and reuse, and are producing higher fuel efficient vehicles each year. We really do need to pay attention to our natural resources and protect against harmful effects on the environment. But after several years of working in the green movement, I’ve come to a rather cynical, yet I believe accurate, conclusion about global warming alarmism.

And that conclusion – global warming alarmism is a weapon, used by those wielding it, for personal gain.

Thankfully he pulled back from his original argument that having children was the biggest carbon footprint of all so maybe we all need to go the way of RED CHINA!  Which, um, has a really, um, low(?) carbon footprint.  Or something.

But I’m saving the best for last.

Frequent contributor Stage Right produces a screed ranting against the poor writing that will surely result from the Obama Green Week Massive Takeover of the Formerly Free Media that is so breathtakingly poorly written that it should be designated as a national treasure.  Or not.

He immediately compares “The Office” and “30 Rock” negatively to Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” and its allegorical connection to Joe McCarthy and the activities of the House Un-American Activities Committee.  WTF is up with that?  “The Crucible” is a brilliant piece of work and accomplished what it was intended to do.  I recently saw it staged here in Denver and was once again blown away by how good it was and how powerful the message was.  But, excuse me if I’m overstepping here, I don’t really think putting a “think green” theme in a weekly sit-com constitutes the same, er, thing.

The left-wing flavor of the month is Green Week, on GE owned NBC.  We have already reported that our children have to suffer through “Sustainable Living” storylines on “Sesame Street” and now NBC is preaching to the parents how being green is easy.  Unfortunately, it’s probably not going to be too entertaining.  (-ed.  Sesame Street is an NBC show?  Coulda fooled me!)

(snip)

That’s why we rarely see a storyline on a crime drama where a gun owner prevents a crime and saves a life.  Or why we rarely see a storyline about a teen in trouble choosing to give her child up for adoption rather than be an un-wed mother or extinguish the nascent life she is carrying (-ed.  Pretty much any Western? “Juno”?)

You can see where he’s going with all this.  Or, well, I really couldn’t.  If you can, I’d love to hear it.

I looove that they’re getting all hot n’ bothered about GE. Clearly none of these chickenshit warnography* fetishists is aware that sometimes GE brings good things to life all the better to bomb the living shit out of it. I doubt Eyebrows Shapiro would raise that mutant woolly bear on his forehead if he knew how much of that river of cash went to buy targeting systems. 

Now of course there are sincere people that have a real concern for our environment and man-made pollution. I know many of them and include myself in that mainstream group. ...

OK, question. Does this dumb fuck know he is comparing himself to corporations and that his suggestion that he “knows” them (not in a Biblical way, I hope) sets a new bar for fReichtard delusions; or is he just a spectacularly bad writer?
