Top Television Shows Today Full of Garbage

PTC's Best and Worst of TV
Best: The Middle on ABC
The Middle is consistently chosen as Best TV Show of the Week because of its humorous depiction of the clash of wills between teenagers, children, and parents -- yet, with parental authority, family, and good moral lessons always being upheld in the end…even if the route getting there is winding, convoluted, and funny.
Worst: 85th Annual Academy Awards
"If you stopped watching network television awhile ago because it had gotten so bad, you made the correct decision. It has continued to get worse. A few years ago, network television became dominated by cheaply made reality TV shows and talent contests, sitcoms with hyperactive manic characters, and socially liberal themes. Television has always pushed the edge when it comes to socially progressive themes. But at what point does it go too far? Perhaps when there are no other options left during prime time network TV."

In order to appeal to Hollywood’s favored frat-boy viewership, the producers selected as host a man whose entire career has been devoted to being insulting, crude, and tasteless – and who was guaranteed to bring such qualities to his performance: ....Worst on cable TV: "Tosh.O" on Comedy Central
"....Tosh is much more about sneering mockery, bigotry, and graphic sex and toilet jokes."
Obama and his sequesteria
As a president, this petulant juvenile is worse than nothing.
Obama’s Politics Put our Navy in Harm’s Way "It would seem that while we possess colossal power, we also harbor colossal stupidity in our command structure. There are unprovable, as yet, rumors flying that this situation only came to be over the outraged protests of the upper Navy brass overruled by an always politics-first White House."
Obama’s campaign of pain "In other words, Obama is done trying to work with Republicans in 2013 and 2014. He is abandoning any real effort for bipartisan immigration, gun, or energy reform. The bulk of his effort will now be devoted to eliminating all Republican power in Washington.
"And Obama’s first step in that campaign will be to maximize the amount of pain the sequester inflicts on the American people."
...."For perhaps the first time in the history of the United States, it is in the political interest of a president to inflict maximum pain on the American people." (Emphasis added)
Which will be possible with the help of the media that supports him.
WP: Obama Agenda Depends On Winning House "It’s clear that this is Obama’s entire goal. To demonize the House Republicans, in order to gain majority control of Congress in 2014. Then he will have no opposition and he can then ram through his entire agenda without any compromising whatsoever."

Obama's Middle East travel plans
Caroline Glick "This week on the Tribal Update, the satirical webcast produced weekly by Latma, the Hebrew-language satirical media criticism website I run, we bring you a behind the scenes look at how Obama and his advisers arrived at their decision to have the President visit Israel next month."

Krauthammer Mocks Sequesteria: 'We Have Sequestered Against The Lord And His Wrath Is Great'
Newsbusters
"One wonders if Krauthammer was also taking a poke at the media who have for years bestowed so much reverence upon the current White House resident that they've made him almost God-like."
Why we call the media "lamestream"
American Thinker: Two Palestinian Deaths "Thus, the Times and the Post, while scouring for every bit of possible evidence to question treatment of Palestinians in Israeli jails, showed no such interest or curiosity about treatment of Palestinians in Abbas's jails. None at all."
Sequester Scare! Two Thirds of News Stories Devoted to Hyping Budget Hysteria “Deadline day. Hours, now, until massive government cuts go into effect that could impact every American. Jobs vaporizing. Flights delayed. Even criminals walking free.” That’s the call to panic with which ABC’s Josh Elliot greeted viewers on the March 1 Good Morning America. Elliot’s frenzied tone, on the day sequestration was going into effect, was typical of the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) network coverage of Washington’s most recent fiscal debate.

NY Post Via Weasel Zippers Covering "the increasing pressure that White House correspondents feel when dealing with the Obama administration — to follow their narrative, to be properly deferential (!), to react to push-back by politely sitting down and shutting up. "

" “I had a young reporter asking tough, important questions of an Obama Cabinet secretary,” says one DC veteran. “She was doing her job, and they were trying to bully her. In an e-mail, they called her the vilest names — bitch, c--t, a--hole.” He complained and was told the matter would be investigated: “They were hemming and hawing, saying, ‘We’ll look into it.’ Nothing happened.” "

White House’s false sequester claims prompt media pushback
"Those [false] statements came as the White House sought to create public anger about Republicans’ refusal to vote for additional new tax revenues as part of a last-minute budget deal to forestall the sequester, which will force mandatory across-the-board cuts across much of the federal budget."

"But the release of more than 2,000 illegal immigrants set off a wave of public anger, partly because of coverage by upstart media outlets that have not been allied with the White House." Emphasis added.

It’s interesting, Nicolle Wallace added, to see how “completely disoriented the "Democrats and the Obama administration seems to have become by the message here.” They’re just confused about the effects of the cuts."

"We're seeing small pockets of excellent reporting on sequestration, and this includes the Washington Post's Glenn Kessler. Kessler's already exposed Obama's scare tactics as lies twice this week. Yesterday Kessler hit the trifecta with this report blowing a hole in Obama's lie about Capitol Hill janitors receiving pay cuts."

White House Releases 700 Pages Of New ObamaCare Regulations
American Glob "Great. Don’t worry about death panels, folks. You’ll die of old age before you can read and comprehend the damn thing…"
More than 700 pages of healthcare rules released
The Obama administration on Friday released more than 700 pages of new regulations to implement portions of the Affordable Care Act.
The four rules, which are scheduled for publication in mid-March, finalize both major and minor parts of the healthcare reform law that Congress passed in 2010.
Three of the regulations are final and roll out the multistate healthcare exchanges and reforms to the insurance market, including provisions to encourage cost-sharing, stabilize health insurance premiums and prevent providers from denying coverage.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said the rules would “help to ensure that every American has access to high-quality, affordable health insurance.”
