3. dear lord! how clueless.
The media is *supposed* to be exceedingly critical and questioning of those in power -- rather than being enablers.

25. Well, not really...
... but they're much more insidious 'cause Fox is blatantly biased and nearly any semi-sentient being can recognize their bias; but CNN is less overtly biased, and so their more subtle spin is tougher to recognize.

6. built in bias regarding Kerry.
Liberal Media does not exist, it's folklore, urban legend, it just doesn't exist at all.

Bush has lied
Cost lives
Joked about the lie
Blamed Kerry for the lie
Cheated to get the WH
Weakened democracy
and many other atrocities against America and the media says NOTHING.

8. Wha wha .....
WHAAAAAAAA?

Is this a delayed April fool's joke? Oh, I forgot...Paula is an A-1 Bushista, got her evening show as a reward for shilling for W and doing glam puff pieces on GHWB and Ashcroft. She's probably livid that people keep being mean to the poor old evil megalomaniac right wing loony.

Edited on Wed May-05-04 07:36 PM by VolcanoJen

She seriously, no kidding, JUST SAID THAT!! Jesus. The second segueway was better than the first!!

Coming up, DUers...

ON EDIT: I had to rewind the Tivo to make sure I heard that correctly, as I thought I might have been hallucinating. I was not.

23. Cripes! The media can't even put 2 and 2 together
Like HELLO idiots, do you think that the killing of the "contractors" might have something to do with the fact that they are a big force behind the torturing and killing of the Iraqi's without any consequences?

Oh where's that story, oh Liberal media?

Do they even get that WE have a higher burden on our conduct than the terrorist sympathizers and just plan ole Iraqi's do? Cause we are supposed to be the good guys?

Up next: So what that we are as bad as they are, we are Americans and that's all that matters.

29. VJ, do you find your Tivo evangelism...?
VolcanoJen, do you find your Tivo evangelism tends to fall on deaf ears? I've hooked all my family members on DVRs, but I get a kick out of hearing them rant about people to whom they've tried to describe the joys of Tivo/ReplayTV/DVRs -- and been met with glassy stares.

41. Chuckle.
Yeah, you should hear my brother, nowadays. He's gets even more shrill than I do.

Agreed, though; Tivo/ReplayTV is a godsend. Can't stand watching TV without it. (And now run my Internet-streaming AirAmerica feed through my 2nd ReplayTV, so I can record and time-shift all those programs .)

Good question! Let's start by asking these Iraqis:

21. The debate was amazing
bozell will years from now claim taht we lost the war due to them liberals who sensationalized college pranks....

He made me sick... would not even aknowledge George Will's Op Ed piece... and Will is now out of the reservation, and so will Murtha soon enough, who has said this war is unwinable....

The rational and REAL conservs are coming to their senses and bailing

19. Only when a Dem is in office.
Clinton improved this nation and he got an 8 year 24/7 attack of lies and other bullshit against him.
Bu$h starts a war, steals an election, runs the economy into the ground, steals from the treasury, lies about everyfuckingthing, takes no responsibility for anything and he's deified by the "Liberal Media".
Gimme a fucking break!

34. Because the right-wing bullies and threatens the press
... almost to the point of illegality; while the Dems treat the news media as though they're a collegial bunch of Edwards R Murrows, just wanting to get to The Truth. Fools.

CNN has gone to the dark side...totally and completely.

Ain't no journalism to be found around there.....well...maybe Lou Dobbs, sometimes. The rest are fucking hopeless bush-lickers.

28. To her credit, she did bring up the Clinton question.
She asked Bozell if the media treated Bill Clinton fairly. I seriously thought he was going to stroke out.

39. She was on Tina Browns
awful show during the war with Victoria Clark and they were discussing the way the war was being covered and Christine said something to the effect of...we must report the whole story, we're not fox we aren't foot soldiers for the government. She of course said more eloquently than i did but you get the jist.

33. That's why Amanpour is "invisible."
She's a REAL reporter!!

Still entertaining some hope for Aaron Brown, but the rest of their programming is beyond the pale!!

42. I never saw Paula Zahn before yesterday . . .
at least not consciously.

I thought her interview technique with Bozell and the New Republic guy was very effective and credible. She may be a Johnny-Come-Lately, but at least she has "come."
