I would believe they still do that.
Old Line Media.
Hey Anne, take a tip from the GEICO Neanderthals.
Next time, do a little research.
FOR YOURSELF
I heard this live today...couldn't believe my ears...she sounded so excited to talk about this Cheney news...and she actually said..."it is such a wooonnderful story.." then caught herself and and said something like - "Well, I shouldn't say wonderful..but.." ....then used another term...
She sounded idiotic and childish -- then was suddenly caught off guard when John Gambling asked her about the US Port story and how John and Representative Peter King (from NY - Long Island) discussed this matter that is not in the news at all.
MSM numbskulls - heads full of mush
It is based on a common term from Computer Systems. A Legacy System. Wikipedia says:
"A legacy system is an existing computer system or application program which continues to be used because the user (typically an organization) does not want to replace or redesign it. Many people use this term to refer to "antiquated" systems. Legacy systems are considered to be potentially problematic by many software engineers (for example, see Bisbal et al., 1999) for several reasons. Legacy systems often run on obsolete (and usually slow) hardware, and sometimes spare parts for such computers become increasingly hard to obtain. These systems are often hard to maintain, improve, and expand because there is a general lack of understanding of the system. The designers of the system may have left the organization, so there is no one left to explain how it works. Such a lack of understanding can be exacerbated by inadequate documentation or manuals getting lost over the years. Integration with newer systems may also be difficult because new software may use completely different technologies."
Much of that definition is similar to the Lagacy Media. Old, antiquated, slow, problematic, fails to use latest technology, etc...
The Dow, the new housing boom, all ignored in favor of Lame Duck Cheney's non-story. algore's paid speech by OBL's family ignored. Arab ownership of US port story ignored.
The libnutmedia has truly lost it.
pING.
Years ago I remember being a little kid in the kitchen, and my Mom had on "Rambling with Gambling".
Yep, that was the show. We listened to it every morning during breakfast while we were getting ready for school and my parents for work. Fond memories.
Yikes!!! Look how long it took you to describe the term to me. If I say "buggy whip" media, EVERYONE, INSTANTLY knows what it means. Thanks for giving this some time to answer me.
While I have no doubt that what you say is true, the modification fits Mr. Err Amerika pretty well.
