Is this really surprising anymore? Especially after this recent news?: Toxic: MTV, BET, and CMT are CASTING the audience for a townhall meeting with Obama on Oct 14th. So not only is MTV hard up for an audience for Obama, but are twisting arms to get their own employees to go. Do you think that if the tables were turned and Fox News were caught pressuring their employees to attend say a Bush townhall that it be front-page news from here to the next Presidential election? From Big Hollywood: Exclusive: Internal Email Reveals MTV Pressuring Employees to Attend Jon Stewart's Political Rally
Now that the establishment's favorite comedian, Jon Stewart, has the state-sanctioned approval of no less than the President of the United States for his upcoming "Mock-The-People" rally on October 30th, it only makes sense that Comedy Central's state-enamored sister company, Barack-The-Vote MTV (both MTV and Comedy Central are owned by Sumner Redstone's Viacom) would team up to do everything possible to help President Obama's party in these dire final campaign days when the only question about the coming Republican wave is just how large it will be.
An internal email reveals that MTV is investing heavily in making a success of Jon Stewart's counter-rally to Glenn Beck's incredibly successful August event. But the music network's tactics give the whole affair a taint similar to October 2nd's "One Nation" rally, where all that Big Labor-SEIU astro-turfing still wasn't able to reproduce Beck's grassroots success. Below is a portion of an email that I'm told just went out to some, and maybe all, MTV employees. The wording is chipper and upbeat enough, but the subtext is worthy of an SEIU thug: [emphasis mine -- and I've removed any links for fear they go to private internal servers]:Whether you lean left or right, hail from a blue state or red, prefer keeping sanity, fear, or a healthy dose of both alive and well, the one thing we all have in common is that we've pledged allegiance to the MTV Networks flag. And when an opportunity arises to support one (or two) of our own. we'll take it pretty much every time.
Be loyal to the company - on your own time and irrespective of your personal politics - or be fired. Jon Stewart already has the establishment MSM waving the pom-poms for his event. That includes liberal commentators like Leonard Pitts Jr: Comedian Jon Stewart is going to totally save the country or something. Of course, there are those of us that see the event for what it is - a farce:You may have heard that Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are hosting a little get together on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Saturday, October 30th. … This will be a day when — no matter what transpires from Jon, Stephen, and their special guests — our brothers and sisters at Comedy Central will own the cultural conversation, without question. Who would want to miss that one?On the morning of October 30th, we're loading up a fleet of buses here at 1515 Broadway and sending as many of you as we can down to DC for a free one-day, round-trip journey to join in the Rally to Restore Sanity and March to Keep Fear Alive. ...
