Jacked Up DefinitionAdjective. Informally used to describe something that's not quite right.
While that
killjoy Carl Bernstein is bitching because there are too many celebrity news outlets and not enough public affairs journalism, leave it up to
Page Six --
the celebrity news outlet -- to muddle Bernstein's theory by reporting on the Iraq War.
Thirty-nine American soldiers were killed in Iraq in October, the
fewest deaths there in any month since 2004. In October 2006, 106 U.S.
troops were killed. "That story is untold," Fox News Channel
correspondent Chris Wallace said on Steve Malzberg's WOR
Radio show Wednesday. "You don't see it in the New York Times, and you
don't see it the Washington Post . . . The mainstream media don't like
good news from Iraq.
Wait? Thirty-nine people died -- more than one a day -- and that's good news? Jesus, Mr. Wallace -- you've got a
jacked-up sense of what constitutes good news, huh? When hunters killed Bambi's mom, did you do a little dance because the hunters didn't firebomb the forest? It's hard to see the glass half-full, Mr. Wallace, when the it's half-full of dead American soldiers. Get your head out of your ass, sir.
Carl Bernstein certainly took the lyrics of "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" to heart. Idiot.
