And Then There’s This
I was going through social media yesterday minding my own business when I came along this little nugget. As most people know, OAN is basically Fox News if Fox were underfunded, less talented, and somehow even more extreme. Well, it seems Verizon has decided to cut ties with them which means they will not be on any cable packages and they currently don’t have anyone to stream them. What comes next is truly bizarre.
OAN host makes an urgent plea to liberals to help save the network after Verizon dropped them: “It is absolutely crucial that, for once, we defy the powers that be, we all come together, set aside our differences in a unified effort.” pic.twitter.com/JifUTD5PCI

Listen, I could go in any number of directions here, but I suppose I’ll play the straight man for now. Exactly what do we get for this assistance that we would give? I would have to assume this would be somehow transactional because you honestly aren’t making the “the world is a better place with all of us in it” argument are you? Are you talking détente? Is this a truce? Exactly how long would that last?
What you are seeing above is this same Steinberg having a meltdown over a pride flag in Huntington Beach. Yeah, I suppose she can claim it was when she was young and naïve. She’s matured now and is ready to reach across the isle. The picture from this video came on June 22, 2022. It happens to be the Carraway’s anniversary and it wasn’t that long ago. I could add more here, but you get the idea of who we’re dealing with.
A couple of years ago they found a gator in the green space behind our house. Fortunately, it never came close enough to us for us to see firsthand, but we do know that we’ve lost three cats since we’ve moved here. Maybe it wasn’t the gator. Maybe it was one of the owls. It could have been the wild pigs, armadillos, raccoons, or possums. These things deserve to exist on their own and I won’t go out of my way to get rid of them. I’m also not inviting them into our backyard. Wild animals don’t reciprocate or change their nature because you are nice to them. I wish Ms. Steinburg and her colleagues the best in the same sense that I don’t wish death and destruction on anyone. I’m not going to go out of the way to help those wild animals. Those wild animals would surely kill my other cats, dog, and my family if given the chance.
I guess she’s gonna have to brush up on her Russian.
1I’m going to have to think about OAN wanting help from liberals.
Ooohhhh a bird flew by. . . . . .Ok— not thinking about them anymore.
2Sooo, in the same breath she asks for help across the aisle she insults those very people? Let me think about that one….no
3Maybe Alex Jones will hire her?
4Need a good laugh? Watch this John Oliver take on OAN from April 2004!
What Is OAN?
OAN is the network that makes Fox News look like a serious, mainstream middle of the road news network.

5Astonishing. It’s like Storm Front asking for help from the Anti-Defamation League. Do they think we’re idiots?
6I was just about to write a large check, but I couldn’t find my pen.

8As a matter of fact, ‘they’ do think we’re idiots. No matter how much fact you present for ‘ them’.
Yeah, I love this “sure, we beat the crap out of you and lied our faces off, but, c’mon, it was all in good fun and we do actually know y’all are really not Satanic pedophiles, haha, so save us” schtick.
I quite enjoy knowing that they are finally learning that actions have consequences.
Not that the consequences will teach them anything, though.
9Such a sad story that makes me soo hap-hap-pee. Better get a real job Ms Steinberg. Something productive.
10Wow.
11Is she ever… blond.
Steve from Beaverton @ 8
Maybe…TFG’s new personal massage girl at Merde de Lardo?
12I suppose with their chronic misinterpretation of the second amendment, it would make sense that they can’t interpret the first one either. The government is not canceling them. Liberals and progressives are not cancelling. It was DirecTV and now Verizon. This is capitalism. People that seem to wade in conspiracy theories obviously will consider this a conspiracy. It’s not. Your network just couldn’t come to an agreement with the carrier.
13“Covfefe”
I guess Putin, Koch Bros, Heritage Foundation and Liberty U. turned them down also.
14She looks like serious competition for Bimboebert and MTG in howler Monkey imitations.
15OAN wants help from liberals to stay on the air? Um. . .no.
16@Buttermilk sky:
They know their listeners are idiots. They *know* we’re even dumber… because we’re liberals.
They’re just another troop of geniuses who have trouble putting their pants on forwards in the morning.
17Fred,
I saw that episode of Oliver. Sadly Alison wasn’t in it. Maybe he should do an update.
18HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
19I wish the hawks would descend on the burgeoning population of squirrels. There are at least 3 varieties: common grey, red fox, and the ground squirrels/chipmunks. They’re all very cute and it’s kinda fun to see the little red ones chase away the larger grey ones but they’re all trying to get into the bird feeders. The dog left with her lord and master when he moved into his own place so there is little to deter them.
20I don’t rely on reddit.com for news, but y’all might be amused by a post allegedly from a video editor for OAN:

Good point!
22Perhaps instead of begging liberals for cash she should segue a career move into a job at Animal Planet?
Shouldn’t she be using the time for something that COULD help her, such as developing a resume, fine-tuning an application reel, and reaching out to professional contacts who are NOT appalled by her choice of employers.
It is campaign season … maybe there is an opening on a RWNJ candidate’s staff, hoping for a win that will turn into a “real job” in January?
23I know this is off topic and many of you have seen this, but scroll down in this link to see TFFG getting humped.

Response to OAN.
FLUSHHHHHHH
25OK, this is one for the total, unvarnished gall files.
After I’d asked her why exactly the job of saving fascists who had been spitting venom at us for over a year was ours, I’d quickly give her advice which would never be allowed on this message board but which would blister all that grease paint right off her face.
“Chutzpah” has a new definition.
