Bryan Fischer Confuses Me (Not for the First Time)

I've been kicking around a few ideas for new entries for a couple of weeks now, and I really had no intention to abandon my tried-and-true strategy of letting Pat Robertson embarrass himself. In point of fact, I plan to continue doing so, but I saw this video from Bryan Fischer today and had to ask my single-digit readership whether any of them know what he's on about?

In case you're unfamiliar either with Mr. Fischer or what he's referring to in this little spiel of his (or, if you're super lucky, both), I'll lift the curtain a bit for you. Bryan Fischer is the premiere mouthpiece for our friends-don't-let-friends-be-this-repugnant fellow mammals over at the American Family Association which has been classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. As for what's got him in such high spirits at the moment, the founder and CEO of Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos, has recently committed $250 million of his rather considerable personal fortune to the purchase of the Washington Post.

Now, why that purchase has delighted Fischer so much is beyond me even after having watched the clip above. I mean, did I miss the declaration of war against Scooby Doo at the last godless liberal chapter meeting? I don't recall any sort of hatred against that classic Saturday morning cartoon series coming from the Left (at least prior to the introduction of Scrappy Doo and his Puppy Power© war cry which I believe has lead to numerous homicidal rampages and is universally hated by all regardless of political allegiance or proclivity). If I'm honest, I'd kind of like to have a Mystery Machine lunch box myself—especially if it's vintage, in excellent condition, AND includes the thermos—because that would awesome. Not as awesome as, say, an "Adam-12" or "Emergency" lunch box with the same features, but still pretty awesome. Don't even get me started on the "Six Million Dollar Man" or the "Bionic Woman" lunch boxes because I'll likely pass out if I ever manage to find either one, but I digress.

So I'm going to toss this mystery (see what I did there?) out to you, my faithful reader(s?). What have I missed here which Bryan Fischer finds so endlessly enjoyable about this development?

Note to Bryan Fischer: You say a couple of times over the course of this clip that the Post is the premiere newspaper on the Left. Just so you know, that really hasn't been the case for quite some time now. One might even argue that it never has been. In fact, the Left reviles the Post pretty much to a person at this point because, let's face it, the old gray mare just ain't what she used to be. It's been a while since the heady days of Watergate, and, despite the fact that Carl Bernstein faded into a somewhat dignified semi-obscurity after all that hullabaloo died down, Bob Woodward squandered any capital he may have gained on the Left in helping bring down Nixon by essentially whoring himself out for the sake of access. One might say he is the originator of that particular journalistic sin which has become so prevalent in our day. So I would suggest you update your perspective on that claim, but considering you badly need to update the whole of your worldview to the latter half of the 20th century (at the very least) I suspect you may need to place this one a bit lower on the priority list. After all, if you plan to catch up to the rest of us you've got quite the row to hoe.
