I think that Florida will be just fine. They have plenty of local talent and lots of great small venues that don't require super-stars.

The point was the list was overblown for effect. Florida tourism survives off families not celebrities.

Theres a difference, Foxnews is strictly right wing all the time and its Tv news, you would be better comparing it to MSNBC. HuffPo is left leaning but they do print both sides. Take Drudge for example doesnt matter how big a story is on the AP he does not link to anti right wing stories, like breitbart.

Ask and you shall receive:


This was the lesson that Dr. Jerry Newcombe of Truth in Action Ministries also learned in the context of the Aurora incident. After he published his article, “A Dark Night Indeed: Another Senseless Act of Violence,” and gave a radio interview to American Family Radio, The Huffington Post published an article that twisted his remarks concerning the Aurora tragedy, resulting in thousands of comments on their website that condemned Newcombe for what he had presumably said.When alerted to the story, Newcombe immediately attempted to contact The Huffington Post. They refused to take down their story or run a correction; and when they did post his statement 8 hours later, it was buried among all the comments of those who accepted the Post’s account at face value. Two days later, Jerry issued a more fully developed statement to the press in general, which is posted on this website, along with his earlier column, at “A Dark Night Indeed.” (http://www.truthinaction.org/index.php/2012/07/a-dark-night-indeed/)
Ironically, the owner of the media syndication company that gave the founder of The Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington, her start as a syndicated columnist in the 1990s, just happens to be Jerry Newcombe’s brother, Rick Newcombe. He came to the defense of his brother, writing about The Huffington Post’s attack at WND (http://www.wnd.com/2012/07/huffpos-despicable-deception/)and other outlets.
“The Huffington Post essentially connected dots that Jerry did not and would not connect,” wrote Rick Newcombe. “Why let the facts get in the way of a good story? More than 7,000 readers made comments, mostly condemning Jerry, kickingThe Huffington Post’s straw man over and over. As Jerry said, ‘I too would have kicked the person who wrote what they claim I wrote about the victims!’”
In 2011 the Media Research Center published a special report on The Huffington Post, identifying what the report referred to as its “ongoing campaign of profanity, crude sexual and excretory metaphors and outright hate speech against conservatives….”
The Post’s campaign also extends to Christians. During the Easter season, one post portrayed Christ as gay. In her article, “Queer Christ Arises to Liberate and Heal,” Kittredge Cherry depicted Jesus on the cross with the word “faggot” etched on the sign above his head.
In July, another writer demeaned Christ and attacked Chick-fil-A in the same breath in an article titled “Did Jesus Eat Chick-fil-A at the Last Supper?” The author criticized the restaurant chain because Dan Cathy, stated that his “restaurant is based on biblical principles.”
