How it all works…
An overview of the slums of cable news — talk about your slumdog millionaires.
But one day, one typical day, in the cable news world.
FoxNews decides to have two “themes” of the day all in the name of fair & balanced.
1. The Black Panthers elected Barack Obama President and Grand Mufti simultaneously — and we know it’s true because it comes from a political appointee of the Bush Justice Department and those people were nothing if not straight shooters … and they’ve got the holes in their feet to prove it.
2. MUSLIMS IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
CNN, your source of Lindsay Lohan news, finds time for two additional stories.
1. Hey, that FoxNews story about the Black Panthers sounds like it will kill time, let’s put Mr. Charisma, Wolf Blitzer, on that, he’s so smart.
2. OMG, somebody who knows the Middle East tweeted something about a Muslim-political figure dying that did not include condemning them to an eternity of hellfire and pork rinds — fire their terrorist appeasing ass!
MSNBC, certainly not your source for well-known sexual terms nor wisecracks about Joe Scarborough’s past — but they do have a secret plan to dominate.
Hey, can we just combine everything into one mass of stupidity and have Pat Buchanan discuss Lindsay Lohan?
Let us just award ESPN all the various news Emmys because their World Cup Coverage has contained more journalism in one month than the last ten years of alleged Cable News?

Early Morning Swim: Rachel Maddow Interviews Richard Engel in Afghanistan
I’m sure everything will be awesome in 12 months.
Military authorities are investigating the friendly fire deaths of five Afghan soldiers Wednesday in eastern Afghanistan, officials said.
A NATO patrol in Ghazni province fired on the Afghan soldiers, mistaking them for insurgents, a statement from the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said.
“This loss of life is tragic, and we offer condolences to all those who lost loved ones,” said Navy Capt. Jane Campbell, ISAF Joint Command spokeswoman. “We work extremely hard to coordinate and synchronize our operations, and we deeply regret the loss of lives from our Afghan partners.”
