| Journalism professors at colleges and universities, including the University of Alabama, did not appreciate ESPN play-by-play announcer Brent Musburger´s observation during last Monday´s BCS championship game telecast that Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron´s girlfriend, a former Miss Alabama, was beautiful. Sue Carter, a professor of journalism at Michigan State, told the The New York Times it was "extraordinarily inappropriate to focus on an individual´s looks," and that Musburger´s comments were a "major personal violation." Carter made these comments even though Katherine Webb, whose beauty Musburger praised, has said she was flattered by the comments.

Comments: Oh puhleeze. Those idiot "journalism" professors should be more concerned about the total bias and corruption in the media. I don´t hear them criticizing the outrageous racist remarks from those at MessNBC.

You have to wonder if the vast majority of the complaints of the impropriety of Musburger´s comments are coming from those who would never receive comments like that themselves.

Typical liberal reflex action. It´s not fair bringing attention to a pretty girl when there are so many dowdy hags wedged into their lofty Chairs of Journalism, nursing their bitter resentment at the cruelness of being born. So rather than trying to better themselves, they reflexively tear down everything around them that reminds them of their flaws.
"If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out."
And at the end of it all Katherine Webb is still a pretty girl and journalism professors are outed as the shrill hectoring harpies we always knew they were.

A risible reminder that it is the universities that are the authors of all our woe. American universities have become the enemies of America. Unless the universities are recaptured from radicals and reformed, matters are bound to go from bad to worse.
This case shows us why it was a mistake to categorize journalism as a professional discipline rather than a trade. There is really nothing for people aspiring to a PhD in journalism to learn or to teach, so they stuff their heads and the heads of their students full of politically correct straw. The same is true for education. There is absolutely no justification for a PhD in education of journalism. Creating these bogus distinctions means generating mountains of intellectual rubbish of no value to anyone, and a kind of compost pile on which weeds and poisonous plants of all kind sprout and thrive.

Sounds like the Journalism Professors need to Grow Up.
The scary part is that they are the ones who fill our kids with juvenile values.
The juvenile values lead to a reporter who actually has the thought to contact them for their opinion.
I guess I´m Old School - I would describe Miss Alabama as Pretty, also. Sue Carter, not so much.

The annoying thing about this whole stupid affair is that Miss Alabama--the girl who Musburger drew attention to--her job is to be pretty. It would be like my telling a friend about a doctor, "He´s an excellent surgeon". Miss Alabama is a participant in a beauty contest. To draw attention to her looks is precisely what is supposed to happen.
The folks complaining have an issue with a society that actually favors good looks.

Musberger innocently provided the left with another weapon to use in its War on Men. From now on, we will never have ESPN or other network camera focus on an attractive female, whether in stands or as an on field cheerleader. Instead, we´ll get close ups of Rastafarian braids, body art and post-play celebratory dance moves. Remember, leftist outrage is far stronger than a law suit or TV ratings.
Worse, we´ll soon have "minders" of male announcers in the booth. These minders will be former female athletes with gym teacher hairstyles, mannish voices and jockish terminology who discuss in unwanted detail how the shooting of the player´s brother drove him to wear diamond ear studs.

WHEN will we stop hearing about this? I grew up in Alabama--where every DAY in school was a beauty contest and the high points of the year were the school-sponsored "Beauty Walks," and such. Church was a fashion show. To be complimented for one´s beauty is the highest compliment a Southern lady can receive, and what a large percentage of the young southern female population works so HARD to receive and LONGS to hear.

In one of the most fiery interviews on Fox News Channel, Megyn Kelly took on the attorney for Kermit Gosnell, the abortion doctor convicted of murdering three babies and manslaughter of a woman. Gosnell was sentenced to more than three consecutive life sentences after performing hundreds of late-term abortions. On America Live, Jim McMahon continued to defend his client against the horrific details of his crimes. Kelly started the interview saying, “We don’t tar the attorney with the sins of the client.” McMahon said Gosnell was “disappointed and upset” over the verdict.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Several days ago some fringe “conservatives” mentioned the idea of impeaching President Obama. For reasons as obvious as they are numerous, that is a terrible idea. Saying that is like throwing chum out to the worst conservatives, the ones who act like liberals, the ones who are all angry instinct, who rather than strategize their way to victory would rather sweep the pieces off the table and throw a tantrum on the floor. Serious and effective conservatism demands putting facts and reason above emotion and hysteria. Some comments concerning potential impeachment are so

Sen. Harry Reid said Wednesday that he will push to confirm more judges to the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., after that court ruled earlier this year that President Obama’s broad use of recess appointment powers was unconstitutional. “You have a majority in that court that is wrecking havoc in the country. For the first time in 230 years, they ruled the president can’t make a recess appointment, so yes there is a crisis,” Mr. Reid, the chamber’s leader, said on the Senate floor as he begged for quick action on more of the president’s judicial nominees.

Mayor Bloomberg went on a spitting-mad rant against a city cab-fleet boss who won a court victory over Hizzoner’s planned “Taxi of Tomorrow” — vowing to “destroy your f--king industry” when he leaves office, The Post has learned. A fuming Bloomberg made the threat against Taxi Club Management CEO Gene Freidman at Madison Square Garden’s private 1879 Club during last Thursday’s Knick playoff game, a witness said yesterday. “It was like Gene had kidnapped his child.

According to Republican Rep. Jim Jordan and White House visitor logs, former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman visited the White House 118 times in 2010 and 2011. This is the same time period when Tea Party groups were inappropriately targeted and intimidated by the IRS. Testifying in front of lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Shulman admitted that many of the meetings with the White House were to discuss how to implement ObamaCare. "The IRS has a major roll in the money flow," Shulman said. Shulman denied ever discussing 501c(4) groups with White House officials

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
