I was watching fox news this morning before work and noticed a nice little snapshot of what's wrong with today's media. Fox was really doing more of a story about what was going on there media-wise. Here they are at godforsaken in the am outside the gates of this miserable looking West Virginia prison entrance. About a 1/4 mile of the road was occupied by possibly hundreds tv reporters and camera crews that had been camping there for four days. On the other side of the hill were five newspaper reporters and one newspaper photographer. Two Saturday's ago Dan Rather (will work for the DNC in return for falsified documents just prior to the election please) was a featured speaker at an event held by the New Yorker Magazine and said he thinks that the networks focus too much on polls and if he had anything to do with hit, he would take that money used to generate polls and pay reporters to cover what the candidates stand on specific issues which, of course, drew much applause from the audience (his sole reasoning for saying it). Meanwhile, they still generate polls, and pay a hoard of people to camp in West Virginia to get, at best, a 3 second video image of Martha in a car pulling into a prison. Turns out, she had already entered and they missed it. But the coverage of the prison spokesperson telling them she had already reported for her sentence was dead on accurate and in full color.
hey, at least we actually have some one famous living in west virginia now! oh, wait, we have pot head gilligan (Bob Denver) living here, but that doesn't really count.
LMAO...gilligan... I have a question for you: I was travelling through WVA and somebody was selling confederate flags on the side of the highway. Why are they selling confederate flags in a state that was part of the union?!
because in all actuality, West Virginia was both a Union and a Conferate state. If you go by the Mason-Dixon Line that seperated the North from the South, then we're in the south being as the mason dixon line is the straight horizontal line in the northern border. also, most people round this here part r redneks. wesom kin of folks roun her. lol, but i'm not a redneck, just a hillbilly
Erm...no. While it may be true that it is below the line, West Virginia broke off from Virginia specifically because they supported the Union and not the Confederacy (I live in Virginia).
politically, west virginia was union, but most were still confederate. but the southern flag has lost all meaning anyways. now it's just mainly used to say "i'm a redneck" lots of families were split up in the civil war with brother battling brother and such in different battles. we're just a weird state.
Yep, I saw a tee-shirt that had the Marth Stewart Living (magazine) logo, then in small print below it said "in Alderson, West Virginia".
