STILL GOING
Media Elites Pound KSFO's Morgan Over Comments
Nearly two weeks after KSFO / San Francisco morning talker Melanie Morgan called for New York Times Editor Bill Keller's potential execution if both charged and found guilty of treason, the liberal press backlash continues.
Mainstream media elitists have since made Morgan the poster child for their new crusade against "bullies" who are "unfairly" out to get them. Like the Energizer Bunny, their "outrage" just keeps going and going and going.
Is it nothing more than a transparent attempt to deflect from their own recent questionable behavior?
Not often mentioned by these "victims", of course, is the fact that Keller's paper kicked off the entire controversy in the first place, by reporting on what was supposed to be a secret program to investigate terrorism financing. Since then, conservatives, the White House and congressional representatives have sharply criticized the Times for its lack of discretion.
And sure enough, Morgan had the honor of being selected as Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person In The World", shortly after making the comment on another MSNBC show.
Morgan says her statements have since been twisted by partisan opponents. On FOX's Hannity & Colmes show, she recently made the case.

I see Olberman gave an equal opportunity break to Melanie - usually he calls Glenn Beck the worst person in the world.
The real irony is that more people HEARD about Olberman's pronouncements via Melanie and Glenn's radio programs than actually saw the broadcast.....

There is such a thing as NICHE in marketing.
The best thing in the world to legitimize a rightishly-inclined radio talk-show host is to earn prominent public scorn by established journalists.
Rush knows this, and Savage knows this.
Mel should do what she can to make sure the Legacy Media continues in this manner --it's simple.

My "comments" in post #1 as well the following come from a complilation from
This SiteScroll down to 10 July 2006
And in Melanie's own words, this is from WorldNetDaily:
The producers for the MSNBC news program "Hardball with Chris Matthews" had asked me to come on their show to discuss the leaking of classified anti- terrorism programs by the New York Times.
I made it clear with my very first words that I saw this as a case of treason. Yes, for those of you in the "cut and run" crowd, I said TREASON.
Matthews was shocked. He seemed to think he misunderstood me. I couldn't have really meant that, could I? Long prison sentences for reporters because they repeatedly leaked classified information on America's efforts to combat terrorism?
Absolutely.
Since my comments on Monday, a growing chorus of patriotic Americans have joined in the call for prosecution of the New York Times for committing treason.
New York Times editor Bill Keller and his accomplices should face prosecution by the government of the United States for willfully and repeatedly undermining the war effort against terrorism by repeatedly violating the law and reporting on classified anti-terrorism programs.
For those with short memories, the New York Times pulled the same stunt in December of last year when it exposed the terrorist wiretapping program to the world under the sensational headline, "Bush Lets U.S. Spy on Callers Without Courts."
In each of the cases where the New York Times leaked information on our efforts to battle America's enemies, the Bush administration made pleas for the Times not to publish the stories.
Bolding mine.

Reminds me of how South Korea is now bi&&ing at Japan about discussion a potential pre-emptive strike against N. Korea.
S. Korea surely will not be complaining to the North, so instead, they complain about Japan. Forget the real problem, go for the easy target.

You are correct.
Melanie knows this as well as Ann Coulter.
Ann Coulter has a classic line referring to those who Dis her which she uttered on Jay Leno's Show a few weeks ago:
"I wear their contempt as a Badge of Honor"
I'm sure Melanie does too.
Oh, and she doesn't have to try to get the Legacy Media to react negatively to her and draw attention her way. All she has to do is just continue to be her right-on self.
The MSM just can't help it's self. NO matter where they aim, they always seem to hit their collective foot...

It looks like the only mistake that Melanie made was suggesting that only Keller should be convicted of treason.
From the reaction from the left, there obviously a lot more people that are willing to compromise American security for their own political agenda.
I like Rush Limbaugh's old idea -- bring in the electric bleachers!
