Prof, at least one person in the MSM is talking about Baldwin
The Broadway World is indeed a true giant in mainstream journalism. Lesser journalistic outlets like the NYT, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc. will rain down editorial thunder on Alec Baldwin for his homophobic slurs just like they did with Paula Deen for her admitted racial slur thirty years ago. That will start any minute now.
I was referring to Anderson Cooper? He's on CNN? Have you ever heard of him?

I guess it was up to that flagship of American journalism - Broadway World - to report Anderson Cooper's heretical statements about the double standard between the media treatment of Paula Deen vs. Alec Baldwin. Cooper's tires probably got slashed in the CNN parking lot for that.

Just the facts ma'am!

Alec Baldwin launches Twitter rant against journalist

http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/28/showbiz/a ... ?hpt=hp_c4

"The star of the award-winning comedy "30 Rock" threatened to find the writer of the story and "f****...you...up," referring to Stark as a "toxic little queen.""

and later:

"On Friday, GLAAD, an LGBT advocacy group, published a statement Baldwin gave to the organization: "My ill-advised attack on George Stark of the Daily Mail had absolutely nothing to do with issues of anyone's sexual orientation.""

not likely. He'd have to have used a stronger pejorative, like the British word for Cigarette, or attack Jews in Hollywood (biggest no-no in show-biz). Queen, other interpretations. Then again, if there were other things to support in is past attacks on the group as there are with Ms. Deen, he would lose his endorsements as well, especially if he trumps out weak apology campaign she did.

When any celebrity makes these types of statements, reporters go back to see if there is any corroborating evidence from the multitudes of interviews in the past. If there are other suggestive incidents (on this subject) by Baldwin, he'd lose that endorsement.

If the reporter is actually a queer, he would catch hell. If he's a straight guy, not so much.

This is insane.

Seven cops, all in plainclothes, leap out of nowhere to arrest a 20-year-old who had bought La Croix water. Cops are too fuckin stupid to realize it's not beer. They pull their guns, jump on her car. It's nighttime so naturally she's terrified and speeds away. They call 911, other cops show up, and promptly arrest them for assaulting officers and eluding the police. Prosecutor decides not to press charges but praises the efforts of the police.

Why the fuck are police resources being wasted on sting operations for kids purchasing beer underage? Why the fuck does it take 7 cops to arrest minors? Why the fuck did cops PULL THEIR GUNS in order to make the arrest? Did they really NEED to be undercover?

Fuckin cops

Re: the bottled water story - it stinks that the innocent coed is made public, but none of the dumbass ABC officers are identified. Should've been the other way around.

Seems I heard Cheney say something about the worst incident he could recall. Ben Gazzaara was the name, right?...apparently Dick shot his face off in a hunting frenzy?
