I'm so sick of incompetent, ignorant, lying
...When is enough--ENOUGH!! I'm so tired of our safety and security in this country being shuffled under the rug for political purposes.

The media needs to do their job and ask some tough questions tonight. Why do they keep giving this administration a free ride? I just don't get it. It's really becoming a big joke to listen to anything most reporters have to say.

1. Remember the last big one where the reporters were preselected?
I wondered if that will happen this time ensuring no tough questions get asked.

3. What gets me is that it is excepted. The press has really laid down in
this country and spread it's legs wide and let the Neocons and Bush fucked the hell of them. To have a reporter like the Ny Times reporter make the statement that they are scared when asking questions is just unbelievable to me. What a bunch of whores.

4. who was the reporter
who said he was scared when asking a question? Haven't heard this one yet, but then I'm not surprised.

5. Her name is Elisabeth Bumiller and this is what she said
BUMILLER: I think we were very deferential because…it’s live, it’s very intense, it’s frightening to stand up there. Think about it, you’re standing up on prime-time live TV asking the president of the United States a question when the country’s about to go to war. There was a very serious, somber tone that evening, and no one wanted to get into an argument with the president at this very serious time.

Here's a link where the exact quote was copied.

6. Well then put a bunch of DUers in the room, we aren't scared!
I doubt that very few of us would be afraid to ask Bush a question. We don't burn incense to his alter like the media does.
