People’s Choice? Hardly!

CBS broadcast the 31st People Choice Awards Sunday night. Quillnews agreed with only two winners from the array of nominees: CSI for favorite TV drama and Marg  Helgenberger as favorite female TV star. Both are tops. 

Quillnews likes to see stars as much as anybody. But this PCA production on CBS was classic manufactured “unreality” by MSM that crossed even the minimum point of show biz respectability. The PCA “favorite” movie nod went to Michael Moore and his dreary flick. Puh-leeze. Far from any “people” choosing these awards, this entire star gathering was brought into American homes by an entire array of corporate enterprises devoted to selling viewers consumer products and, in so doing, gave a propaganda victory to anti-American forces, and misused the good name of the US armed forces to do it. This award to Moore was bogus. Talk about vote fraud! Forget Florida in '00. This ballot box stuffing rivals fat cat Boss Tweed, who upon reflection is probably a bit thinner than Moore.

Let’s count the list of culprits in this bogus award: Viacom’s CBS which broadcast the show; Procter & Gamble, which sells soap and consumer items produced the show; Time Warner’s Time Inc., unit Entertainment Weekly, gave the veneer of pop culture to the glitzy enterprise by reporting that the “culture-savvy editors” at Entertainment Weekly and it’s “Front Row Panel of over 6,000 entertainment enthusiasts” selected the PCA official nominees. 

But the Time Inc. EW unit was up to no good Sunday. The story about the show in Entertainment Weekly reads like Pravda: Under the headline: “Shining Happy People” EW gave up the game as an internet version of ballot box stuffing, aided by a month-long online campaign by Moore with help from the same online warriors who made Howard Dean a MSM’s presidential candidate, despite the obvious fact he was unelectable by the "people," and moveon.org as the arbiter of the Democratic party’s political agenda despite the votes at the polls.

Said EW: “This year marked the first time in the awards' three-decade history that the prizes were picked via Internet voting — some 21 million votes were counted — instead of a Gallup poll (nominees were picked by a poll of readers of EW, also participating for the first time). It was also the first year, then, that it was practical for anyone to campaign actively for a People's Choice Award. That's what Michael Moore did on his website and in public appearances over the last month. When it paid off with Fahrenheit's victory, Moore accepted in a speech that had little of the rudeness or anti-Bush rancor of his notorious Oscar speech two years ago. ‘This country is still all of ours, not right or left or Democrat or Republican,’ he said. Dedicating his prize to U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq, he said, ‘We live in a great country and we all love our country very much and I am so amazed that you did this — the people of America — that you voted for this film. I'm honored and gratified.’”

Are Time editors kidding? They're giving him credit for not making the same embarassing spectacle of himself Sunday that he did at the Oscars!  Moore is so full of it.  He knew the market he was in; he had to tone it back for the red state boobs he despises. Moore doesn’t believe there is the war on terrorists and propagandizes jihadist beheaders as “freedom fighters.” The real story is how Moore gamed the MSM system to spew his anti-American propaganda; and how the publicly traded Viacom, Time Warner, Procter & Gamble gave Moore a platform to legitimate his hateful rants on a Sunday night and used the honor of Americans in uniform to do it.

Quillnews challenge to MSM assignment editors: The LA Times today has an op-ed by Quillnews favorite, David Horowitz, who put Moore and the left squarely in the cross hairs as anti-American. Will MSM cover that story? Will MSM editors explain to Americans how it is that the corporate sector is complicit in this manufactured and hateful unreality?
