At the Giants halftime last night in the Meadowlands, a "Stand Up for Cancer" presentation was made by three people from the 50 yard line: Steve Tisch, partner in the ownership of the Giants, a radiant and gorgeous Christie Brinkley, and Jeff Zucker.
Tisch was roundly booed (because of the personal seat licenses which the Giants have instituted for the new stadium which will open in 2010). Chritie came on next and was warmly greeted by the 77k fans.
But when Zucker was announced and began to speak, the fans booed him almost as vigorously as they did to Tisch.
Why? The only thing I could think of was the incredibly biased election coverage that this network was providing.
I only wish Williams, Matthews, Olbermann, et. al. had been there.
>>Jeff Zucker (CEO of NBC) Heartily Booed at Halftime of Giants Game (anti-MSM statement)<<
Well, it could also be the fall line up.
Ping...
Forgot the smiley
:)
I got it w/o the smiley...good one!
That is very interesting, seeing how Giants stadium would have been predominantly populated by blue staters.
Ha! This is stuff that you will only hear on FR.
Thanks for the report.
And it wasn't just an occasional boo. It was sustained and robust.
Sure they weren’t booing Manning? He stunk it up.
And while this isn’t a bug story, I hope Sean or Rush see this and check it out with their friends who were at the game (assuming that their friends didn’t hit the lavatories at halftime or go get a beer).
And Zucker was thinking: “Why do these stupid beer-swilling idiots hate me? But what do they know? Do they have an Ivy league education? Are their friends all millionaires? Do they go to parties with Hillary and Barack?? I don’t think so! Who cares what these jerks think! But I do wonder why they hate me.”
Is Jeff Zucker the brother of Davd Zucker who made the movie “An American Carol” that slams liberals? Perhaps the fans are dumb liberals who can’t tell the brothers apart?
True enough...the Meadowlands faithful were happy to get out with a W. But the Giants were doing Xs and Os at the time within the stadium and were nowhere to be seen.
I had been confused on that myself when I saw his name, but they announced him as the CEO of NBC. It was clear.
Even east coasters, are getting fed up with the Lying Left. >Bo)
In that case, it does seem they were booing NBC. That’s good!
No, David Zucker's brother is Jerry Zucker. The two of them, plus Jim Abrahams, wrote and directed Airplane, Top Secret, and the Naked Gun movies.
I glanced at the TV blaring away during my shift last night, and was incredulous that those touch-holes actually had Olberman and *Andrea Mitchell* involved in the convention coverage. Nothing like spelling out corporate policy for all to see. Thanks Pharmboy. Partisan Weasel Media Shill alert.
