Dear Media: Fuck You with my Trusty Rusty Pitchfork; An Open Letter to the MSM

Dear (Un)Professional Media:

Hi.

My name is asiangrrlMN. I am a lefty blogger at the highly-esteemed blog, Angry Black Lady Chronicles. I am not Black or a Lady, but I am definitely Angry, and today? My ire is aimed directly at you. Because, you all fucking suck, first of all. You’re all about your fucking ratings and making sure that you don’t upset the status quo. You will report on shit like the Kardashians (the fact that I even fucking know who they are kills my soul a little bit) and the stupid British wedding (note, we are Americans. We fought against the British purportedly to get away from all this monarchy bullshit*) and all the other mundane bullshit that passes for news these days.

Confession time:  I have very little use for you.  I don’t watch any news, cable or broadcast, and I read very little old-timey news, either in paper form (none) or on the web (very very little).  I read blogs I trust, and when they direct me to the latest chicanery of the day by the MSM, I sometimes click on the link with great reluctance.   This means I don’t watch ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, or any other so-called news network.  I used to watch Rachel, but I haven’t done that in months, either.  I rather imbibe my news by reading about it because I get to control the pace of the information download, and I find TV news to be seriously broken.

That said, I don’t live in a complete vacuum.  I know what the MSM is babbling about most days, and my disgust has grown quantum leaps in the past few weeks since Donald Trump declared that he might declare, but he might not.  But, at any rate, he’s a smart guy who, you know, is such a success**, and, you know, he’s not sure the president was born in this country.

Stop.  Stop right there.  This is one of my conversation-stoppers.  If someone says s/he isn’t sure whether President Obama was born in this country, that person loses all credibility with me.  As a terrorist anchor baby*** myself, I take much exception to this entire line of questioning and to the nerve of people demanding the president produce proof of his birth (beyond the birth certificate he’s already shown). If someone wants to make a ridiculous claim, it’s up to that person to prove his/her claim, not to the person being accused to prove it’s not true–which isn’t fucking possible, anyway.  You can’t prove a negative.

Christian Extremist GA Rep. Bobby Franklin: The Death Penalty for All!*

*Women, that is.

Georgia State Representative Bobby Franklin hates women, and what’s more, he’s obsessed with stripping women of their rights.  The last time we heard tell of Representative Franklin, he was trying to pass a bill that changed rape victims and victims of stalking into accusers until the defendant was convicted of the crime, but oddly enough, he didn’t deem it necessary for any other crime.  Plus, he wanted to mandate that a victim of a stalker had to have a landline and give that number to the police in order to be contacted if her1 stalker was released from jail.  Why a landline?  Only God and Bobby Franklin know why a landline is needed for this onerous deed.   Only the FSM knows why Bobby Franklin is such a malevolent, misogynistic fuck-face who wants to hurt as many women as possible in one fell swoop of his pen.  Too uncivil?  Too unkind to the “Gentleman” from Georgia?  Then feast your eyes on his newest bill.  My angry black overlady posted a brief post about it early before her head ‘asploded and left her body, so I’m here to clean up the mess.   Ew.  Angry Black Lady bits are strewn all over!  Here is the original post from Mother Jones that sent ABL and me over the goddamn fucking edge.  Yes, she excerpted much of it, but I wanted to link it again so everyone can see what a spineless, cold-hearted, evil, and crazy jackhole Franklin actually is.

Franklin got mocked and widely trounced on for the other bill, and it seemed to go nowhere.  Whew!  Said I.  One more ignorant, repulsive, woman-hating piece of shit legislation down, eleven-billionty to go.  I didn’t give Franklin another thought as he was not worth the energy and the mind space.  Besides, there were so many other astoundingly anti-woman bills flying fast and furious on the federal level that I barely had time to catch my breath, let alone think of some pissant humanity-hating piece of shit representative from Georgia.

Until today.  My angry black overlady put a call out to me to read the link above, and I nearly punched a wall.  Bobby Franklin was back in the news, and again, it was for his astounding and apparently all-consuming hatred of women.  Georgia’s unemployment rate is 10.2% (national is 9.4%).  In 2008, their SAT scores ranked 45th in the nation.   In other words, Franklin has plenty of things to occupy his time and his work hours–he does not need to be focusing all his energy hatred on women like this.
