Janeane Garofalo: There Is Almost No Liberal News Outlet in America
2009-07-20
The poor dear suffers so.
I've often wondered what the color of the sky is in Janeane Garofalo's world, and after hearing her interview on BBC Radio Saturday, I'm convinced this woman lives on another planet.

After all, in her view: "[T]he media in the States is much more to the right. I mean there is almost no liberal outlet for news commentary or editorializing." This coming from a woman who used to host a program on the far-left-leaning Air America Radio, and is a frequent guest on Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" as well as Bill Maher's "Real Time."

Such idiocy made it all the more fitting that after she finished her chat with the BBC's Clive Anderson, Garofalo ended up cutting her comedy routine at the Latitude festival short due to the audience's seeming disinterest in her views.

#14  She cracked all the ones she owned. Or did crack on them, or something like that.

#13  Does she own a mirror?

#12  I know, I know, she's absolutely stunning, but please remember there's undoubtedly 160 or 180 million men (possibly more) somewhere that are sick and tired of her SHI*!

#10  What she means is there are few people willing to blatantly lie repeatedly and badly as she does.

#8  I don't think or wonder about Janeane Garofalo at all. Never have. Never will. She whines, so sad, too bad.

#7  She said something genuinely funny!

Just by accident...

#6  Whenever a liberal complains about the "conservative" media, it means that she is so far left that indeed, the MSM does look that way from her perspective.

#5  Leftism, is a form of insanity. Don't really know if it is organic or what. Anyway, the further Left the individual is, the more insane.

So, for Janeane, anything to the right of her by a certain amount is going to seem rightwing. I'd say Janeane is bark at the moon friggin crazy.

I'm confident in my analysis because I have a brother in law, that falls pretty much in the same category as she does. He is so wacked out he is virtually non-functioning. The family makes sure he is fed and housed.

For every Janeane that has managed to make some sort of living leveraging what passes for talent, there are tens of thousands languishing in their own personal Hell. Someday, we'll need to warehouse them, or eliminate them, hard decision, but it will need to be done.

As for her looks, at one time she was not unattractive, not Cindy Crawford certainly, but not hideous. As she has slipped deeper into her insanity, she has covered herself with tats that make no sense to anyone but her. And those glasses are real passion killers. I actually pity her more than I hate her, but, if it was legal I'd hunt her down in a second and remove her from the gene pool.

#4  Ugh! Her looks certainly match her personality.

Of course to her anyone to the right of Pol-pot would be considered a right-wing radical.

#3  I saw Susan Faludi speak once at Stanford. Was amazed to hear her go on and on about the right wing press. Guess right and left is relative - it all depends on where you are standing.

#2  "[T]he media in the States is much more to the right. I mean there is almost no liberal outlet for news commentary or editorializing."

Right on sister! That damn right wing San Franciso Chronicle! Those jack booted thugs at the LA Times!

#1  Afterall, whats not to like about a utopian society that killed more people than anything in the history of the planet, One that has failed 34 times, and one that violates the Torah?

Whats not to like other than it is hip and popular because your president did cocaine and smoked pot and likes CHE? Whats not to like about all this Islam stuff too? 3 Billion people cannot be wrong right? Afterall, the world is a "democracy", right?

Yeh man. All aboard that the media should side with the government so we will all be on one sheet of music, or all three sheets to the wind.

Welcome to Armageddeon, bitch.
