It seems Jack Blood (pictured-right) keeps plummeting to new lows. His latest embarrassment involved an interview with master schlock-meister Tom Flocco (September 23, 2005) who Blood heaped accolades on by saying he did “exemplary work.” Flocco, as everyone knows by now, is the biggest laughing-stock in the alternative media field (even worse than Phil Jayhan, who is another frequent guest and substitute host on Blood’s show … talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel).

Anyway, Flocco’s latest National Enquirer put-on involved the supposed arrest of Barbara Olson. This story has received so much scorn from the patriot community that Michael Rivero of What Really Happened ran stories on three successive days entitled:

          1) Tom Flocco Officially Discredited
          2) Okay Tom, Time to Put Up or Shut Up
          3) Tom Flocco Now Thoroughly Discredited

Rivero also ran an article that pointed-out how Flocco’s latest fakery - the New York subway bombing story - was almost identical to his fake Chicago subway bombing article (which had also been completely discredited). Flocco’s a disgrace, and we should treat him like the leper-pariah that he is.

But what does Jack “I don’t have the common sense of a slug” Blood do? He brings this buffoon-charlatan onto his show and gives him a forum, calling his Olson schlock an actual “news story.”

No, Jack, it’s not a “news story” --- its gossip at best, and an outright lie at worst. Don’t you have any discernment abilities whatsoever? Blood went on to say (exact quote): “We report things that are newsworthy. This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true or that we’re endorsing the story.” He continued, ‘If she [Olson] turns up, it will turn the 9-11 world upside-down.”

But Flocco reported that Olson was discovered alive. In fact, he said on Blood’s show that French intelligence had arrested her.

Blood responded once again, “It doesn’t matter if I believe these stories or not. I have a responsibility to report them.”

So what are you telling us, Jack? If the Tom Flocco, Sherman Skolnick, Tom Heneghan, Lenny Bloom, Sorcha Faal, Stew Webb cabal writes their next cock-n-bull story where they say Elvis Presley was found alive in Afghanistan with Osama bin Laden, and they were the two who plotted the 9-11 terrorist attacks together – all, of course, from “unnamed sources” with no documentation – then is this “news” too?

Where does it end? What if Flocco said Santa Claus was real, or that he had “proof” the moon was made out of green cheese? At what point, Jack Blood, do you quit being a horse’s ass and quit spewing this garbage? Can’t you see you’re being made a fool of? Not one credible independent journalist is treating these deliberate lies as serious news except you. Why? On top of that, you’re ruining it for everybody else in this field who wants to do reputable, thoroughly-sourced work.

As for Tom Flocco’s “sources” who “leak” this nonsense, let’s get one thing perfectly clear. There are no sources. It’s all a charade. Of course Flocco & Company are veiling their claims in these mysterious “unnamed sources,” but it’s all a put-on. They’re making it up. It’s that simple. Can’t you see what’s happening? These guys sit around and laugh their asses off at the crap they’re pulling on all the idiots who believe them, or who take this pablum as somehow credible. And Jack, you’re promoting this con-job. Again, why?

As Lisa Guliani commented, this rubbish isn’t “newsworthy,” it’s “gossip-worthy.” There’s a huge difference. News is verifiable, factual, and sourced. Gossip is simply innuendo, lies, hoaxes, and fabrications. Aren’t you able to see the distinction, Jack? Flocco admitted on your show that there’s no documentation for the Olson story.

But y’know what? I don’t even think you cared because your interview with Flocco went for more than half-an-hour, and NOT ONCE did you ask him about any of the glaring inconsistencies. That would have been the first thing out of our mouths on WING TV. Do you know why? Because that’s the hallmark of serious journalism; not this Company Man crap that you’re pulling.

We would have asked: “Hey Tom, explain how you got so many aspects of this ‘hoax’ wrong that you even misspelled Barbara Olson’s last name; you misspelled lira as lyra, and you said she was captured at the Polish-Austrian border (which doesn’t even exist).” Again, Michael Rivero of What Really Happened mocked Flocco with a headline that declared that Amelia Earhart and Barbara Olson were found picking counterfeit apples in central France.

But Jack, you didn’t even bring these topics to the table. It’s incredible! In fact, Flocco had to actually mention these inaccuracies himself, and then blamed it on being up too late at night. Worse, you didn’t even challenge him on this lame excuse, but instead let it slide as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Who are you trying to be, Jack, the new Larry King with all your softball questions? Hell, we remember how you kissed ass with the Fox News crew at the Democratic National Convention in Boston; but you were so lame with Flocco that it was outright pathetic.

Rather than asking the tough questions, here is one that you did ask Flocco:

          “Do you think there is a relationship between Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and            John Fitzgerald Kennedy?”

Say what? Because they both have the word “Fitzgerald” in their names? How inane and sophomoric can you get? Even Flocco was dumbfounded by that floating turd.

Flocco then went on to report that his most recent JFK Jr. article received 22 million hits, and that it caused such a furor that George Bush Sr., George W. Bush, plus Bill and Hillary Clinton all met secretly at the White House to discuss it. But of course, what verification did Flocco offer for these claims? None. Zero. Zilch. Instead, he asked, “Why isn’t The Washington Post reporting this story?” Answer: Because it’s all b.s. Show us proof that both Bushes and Clintons huddled clandestinely in the White House because they were so worried about your story. Give us a break. In addition, isn’t it funny that Flocco repeatedly reports on events that no other journalist in the whole wide world is privy to? In other words, he’s the ONLY person on the entire face of the earth that can crack each and every one of these cases. If anybody’s allowing themselves to be bamboozled by these obvious fabrications, then they should also be waiting for Santa Claus on December 25th.

But Jack Blood enabled this shyster by allowing him to peddle his lies. Of course Blood explains this away by saying, “We just put the news out there, then you have to go out and verify it.”

Wait a minute. Yet again, Blood is so far off the mark that it’s ludicrous. Y’see, Jack, a responsible journalist has the obligation to authenticate his work before it’s published. What do you want us to do – follow every cockamamie wild goose chase story under the sun that these jerk-offs are putting out? What are we supposed to do next, help you verify Flocco’s story that Bigfoot slept with Laura Bush in the Oval Office and conceived a secret love child? Hell, according to your backward logic, EVERYTHING is news regardless of how preposterous it is.

Using your formula, Jack, there is no differentiation between The National Enquirer and Michel Chossudovsky’s Global Research, or The Weekly World News and a Jim Marrs article that’s been researched for ten years. To you they’re all “news.” I mean, it’s sad, but are we going to have to take you back to school and teach you what the definition of NEWS is? Get with it, Jack, because it’s embarrassing to even have to be writing these words about you. I mean, there are eighteen-year-old freshmen in Penn State’s college of journalism that even know these basic fundamentals. Why don’t you?

Last but not least, Jack Blood is also the first person to yell that no one in the alternative media or patriot movement should criticize anyone else. And do you know why he says that? Because he and his ilk don’t want to be exposed as (take your pick): fear-mongers, gatekeepers, money-grubbing shills, sensationalists, shoddy journalists, distraction artists, or outright con-men. They don’t want their actions to come under the glaring light of inspection; so they peddle this “kumbaya-why can’t we all get along” mamby-pamby schtick to divert people’s attention away from the real issues such as censorship, betrayal of the Gray Family by Alex Jones, etc.

But from our perspective, the media’s first job is to be a watch dog by keeping a vigilant eye on wrong-doing – by the government, the mainstream media, and also the alternative media. And guess what: that’s exactly what we’ve doing here at WING TV for nearly two years now. Best of all, look at what we’ve uncovered during this tenure. Ruppert’s been exposed, Alex Jones has been exposed, Amy Goodman’s been exposed, Art Bell’s been exposed, along with a host of other phony balonies. If we had followed your bogus advice, Jack, all of this nonsense would have still been covered-up. Sure, that’s what the people behind the rip-offs & lies & wrong-doing want; but it sure as hell isn’t what we want at WING TV, and we’re not afraid to say it.

In closing, Jack, your interview with Tom Flocco was the worst we’d ever heard on the alternative media, and it’s time to start raising the bar. Quit being a pawn, and quit making a fool of yourself. It’s really getting embarrassing. Either that, or go back to fleecing people at WALE in Rhode Island. That gig seemed to be right up your alley.
