WHO-TV in Des Moines - 8 minute opening on Dean Tapes

[DU9598]

I am not a supporter of Governor Dean (yet). I am leaning towards Edwards or Clark on Jan. 19. WHO-TV is really playing this tape development as a major scandal and implying the Dean camp is refusing to talk. They have asked Governor Dean to speak on the 10 pm newscast, but no reply so far.

From what I have seen this is a bunch of nothing - in fact I agree with most of what he said in the tapes WHO-TV showed. Now the media is ganging up with no real ammo, go figure. I don't like this trashing in the media unless there is really something there - I don't think there is anything here. Good luck Governor ... show them you will not stand for this trashy journalism, especially when they let the pResident lie about reasons for going to war killing tens of thousands of innocent people.
