Morning Edition gives up whoring for *

[carolinayellowdog]

Hey,

Just tuned in to hear Don Gonyea (sp?) explaining to Scott (yuck) Simon why the Tenet mea culpa only raises more questions about WH culpability. Next up was Susan Page, a former State Dept. official, who spoke even more strongly on the same theme.

If Whoring Edition Saturday has stopped spinning for the unelected moron, the wheels have definitely come off the Rove spin machine.

1. Daniel Schorr was good, too.

Too bad about Scott Simon. You can hear him drool every time "war" is mentioned. He really disappoints me.

[Iris]

2. maybe Scott Simon is looking for something at this point in his career

What that "something" is, I don't know, but we are talking about a man who started his career in radio as a children's program host known as "the man of 1,000 voices." He read children's books on this program and used different voices for all the characters.

4. Daniel Schorr was great this AM!

I was half asleep when I heard him but will post the link once it's up on the NPR website (after 1200 EDT).

[stlsaxman]

19. yes he was great on all subjects except...

when he closed out the portion of the program with his pro- Sharon
anti- palestinian remark...

sorry i don't have the quote in front of me. to me his Zionist attitude is
Daniel Schorrs only current flaw. though he still finds occasion to bash
anyone whose name ends with Clinton.

20. Schorr said

something like, what a "cheezy way to run a government".
in reference to crediting Brittish Intel.for the lie in question in the SOTU speech.

[Chicagonian]

3. what network are you referring to?

is it on CBS?
Because CBS seems to be drifting a little more to the left lately.

[Az]

5. Morning Edition is Radio

Specifically NPR public radio. Morning Edition is NPR's morning news show.

[julka]

6. if you're in chicago.......

it's WBEZ, the National Public Radio outlet.

it's on from 7-9 AM

after that's over, if you can get WNUR, 89.3, there's This is Hell, a very left wing show on Northwestern's radio station: Greg Palast is a frequent guest

listen online, too

thisishell.net

7. If what I saw last night on MSNBC was any indication

W's toast. And I never though I'd say that again. Thought so too many times. But when they laid out the timeline, then wrapped it up by mentioning the speech months before SOTU where the same statement was taken out, it was just so damning there was no way it could be backed away from. It was just out there. They knew it was a lie and put it in anyway. Now it's just a matter of figuring out exactly who "they" are. It's too good of a story. It's not going away. In fact, I hope, I hope, I hope, SOTU may be this summer's SHARK ATTACK! Well, I can dream can't I?

8. Hilarious Tom Tomorrow cartoon

Hope this doesn't happen to Don Gonye:

I don't know how to post graphics, so if someone else would like to do the honors...

[NormanConquest]

9. Here ya go...

[Sophree]

10. Thanks!

And Welcome to DU! :hi:

[MUAD_DIB]

14. That is pot on!

Thank you TT, and thank you NormanConquest for posting it.

Welcom to DU btw.

[Hailtothechimp]

17. ROTFLMAO!!!

Substitute "Fox News" for "Action McNews" and it would be perfect.

[LearnedHand]

21. 'scuse me, Sophree...

...I think Don G.'s last name is spelled "Gagne." Sorry for my rude "butting in." :hi:"

But thanks for filling us in on NPR and Weekend Edition. I've been a huge fan for 20 years now, and I've been really disappointed in how NPR has rolled over and played dead for the Bush juggernaut.

On Edit: Fixed typo

[Sophree]

23. Kay, thanks

I listen to NPR almost every day, but I wasn't the one who brought up the original topic. I just posted the link to the Tom Tomorrow cartoon that I was reminded of by it.

I always try to spell properly, so thanks for the correction. :hi:

[LearnedHand]

25. Oh, right...

...sorry. I knew that! :dunce:

I started off reading the thread, read the Tom Tomorrow cartoon (which our local weekly independent newspaper had printed!), then promptly forgot who had begun the post.

[Sophree]

28. That's where I saw the cartoon, too!

In our local Indy Newspaper.

Welcome to DU, BTW. :toast:

[quilp]

11. In Ron Zeigler's famous words. That story is no longer operative.

There was just no way the Bush line could be held up any longer. To coin a phrase, "one swallow doesn't make a summer". Let's see how long they stay with it.

[pasadenademocrat]

12. The appropriate headline is

Morning addition temporarliy gives up whoring for *

[julka]

13. actually, appropriate headline would be

Saturday Edition temporarily..........

Morning Edition is M=F

[carolinayellowdog]

15. a feller can dream, can't he?

BTW the title is Weekend Edition Saturday

[julka]

16. I hate it when that happens

case closed

move on

[WEagle]

18. who was the woman interviewed early in the show?

did i hear correctly a Dr, Rise who works at the Brookings Inst.?
anyway, she blasted the other Dr, Rice bigtime! I'm suprised nobody has mentioned it. I was making coffee and didn't hear all of it. Anyone hear it?

[roberthall10]

22. We Should Be Thankful for NPR

It is all we have. I guess the withdrawal of Federal support frees them up in certain ways.

[WEagle]

24. Unless you're lucky enough to get PACIFICA

with "Democracy Now" and other shows.

[LearnedHand]

26. My bad, CarolinaYD...

...Don's last name is spelled "Gagne." I was so tickled by the TT cartoon I posted the spelling correction to the wrong post-er. Now I even feel dumb for posting the spelling! :dunce:

[huckleberry]
