Anti-rockists fail to establish foothold at Fox News
This article is ridiculous. Let's examine it.
The New York state attorney general has levied a $12 million fine against Universal Music Group for payola.
[...]Take Lindsay Lohan. The teen actress was turned into a singer by Tommy Mottola, who made an interesting deal at Universal to start a label just for her.
Mottola also managed Lohan, which no one questioned, and he claimed that UMG had put up $50 million to get the ball rolling.
But Lohan is no singer, and no one, not even her movie fans, wanted her albums or to hear her on the radio.
Nevertheless, the record company persisted. A series of e-mails in June 2005 shows what was happening — a manipulation of MTV’s “Total Request Live” show that airs every afternoon and can seriously affect a new record’s fortunes.
UMG, according to Spitzer’s reports, was spending money at radio stations and for “TRL” to “stuff the ballot box” (my words) and turn losers into winners.
It's almost as if a writer at Fox News is...editorializing. Now wait a second, if those emails are from June 2005, that means the "manipulated" song in question is "First," judging from the chart records.
Clearly no one consulted with any of these people (only two?), who would have informed this so-called entertainment journalist that "First" was actually the fourth best single of the year.
It has become painfully obvious that what we're dealing with here is an all-out, unabashed, full-throttle WAR ON LINDSAY. And I for one won't stand for it.
I am not going to let oppressive, totalitarian, anti-LINDSAY forces in this country diminish and denigrate THE ACTRESS and HER MUSIC. I am not going to let it happen. I'm gonna use all the power that I have on THE INTERNET and MYSPACE COMMENT THREADS to bring horror into the world of people who are trying to do that. And we have succeeded. You know we've succeeded. They are on the run in ROCKIST MESSAGE BOARDS, in the media, everywhere. They are on the run, because I will put their face and their name on MY BLOG, and I will talk about them TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN if they do it. There is no reason on this earth that all of us cannot celebrate a TEENPOP SUPERSTAR devoted to BUBBLEANGST, CONFESSIONAL ROCK, and CELEBRITY NARRATIVE SUTURE POP together. There is no reason on the earth that we can't do that. So we are going to do it. And anyone who tries to stop us from doing it is gonna face me.
I'm hereby starting list of all known, on-the-record ANTI-LINDSAYISTS. These people are DANGEROUS.
Please bookmark this post and send it to your friends and loved ones. Help me in this righteous crusade -- stage boycotts, write your representatives in Congress, and do not be afraid to name names. I'll get the ball rolling here, but I can't redeem the sanctity of Lindsay Lohan alone.
THE FOLLOWING ANTI-LINDSAYISTS WILL BE SHOT:
Offender: Caryn James, The New York Times
Crimes: "Portrait of the Party Girl as a Young Artist"
Offender: Roger Friedman, FoxNews.com
Crimes: "Lindsay Lohan's Record Company Fined $12M"
Offender: Jenny, IDon'tLikeYouInThatWay.com
Crimes: "Lindsay Lohan's 'Music' Gets Punished
This is only the beginning. And don't think this isn't a WAR ON ASHLEE, too. Her reputation has also been marred by this filth.
