Off the Rails

Brian at Radio Equalizer makes an excellent point. Why does the media focus on the likes of Glen Beck, who made inappropriate comments about the victims of the California wildfires, but takes a pass on the nuttiness of what Randi Rhodes had to say?

Rhodes was trying to blame the wildfires on the Blackwater Security Firm, which is currently in hot water over incidents in Iraq where Iraqi civilians were killed.

You just know wherever there is fire, this administration will be out there doing what it does best and that is fanning the flames, you know. It just spooks me, I can’t explain to you how creepy this whole thing is that you know, you’ve got these fires. Some of them are thought to be the work of arsonists and in the same breath you’ve got a community that’s on fire that just recently protested Blackwater West. Just recently said no to Blackwater and apparently you don’t do that.

I mean, I don’t even know what to think. You know, nobody is saying Blackwater set the fires, that is nobody that doesn’t want their house burned down. Nobody is saying that, but it is all so bizarre that this is America and you have to sort of sit there and wonder … arson, same place Blackwater West wants to be, people protesting. And then you find out that some of the guys that used to work for Blackwater are now in Schwarzenegger’s administration.

Did she injure herself that badly that she's gone completely off the rails and engaging in conspiracy theories over the wildfires?

Elsewhere, Mike Malloy directly blamed the "Bush Crime Family" for the wildfires, and all you got is crickets.

The selective outrage by the media is telling. Their bias is showing something fierce.
