I hope so. This is brilliant indeed.

7. Yeppers. As we speak.
Talking about the circular, self-confirming leak. NOW, Russert says he had doubts. Asshat.

43. I'm glad he didn't drop Oprah. I watched that show so long ago and since then
I decided she was a sucker. Tim Russet is such a liar. No one called him he said, he is a frig-gin journalist. It is his job to call. He is a megalomaniac that needs to be replaced.

33. Never realized how lazy Russert is.
He calls his sources for news stories. They spoon-fed him leaked BS from the

White House, then Cheney would show up on the show, Russert would question him on the BS that Cheney's office had leaked, so that Cheney could then confirm the very BS that was a pack of lies to begin with.

I have watched "Meet the Mess" for the last time.:rofl: What a waste of TV airtime.

9. Here it is.
Russert playing innocent. Creep.

He calls himself a journalist, even though he simply allowed Cheney to use him. Never picked up the phone to check. Never botherred to challenge Cheney.

5. For anyone who has Charter Cable in Ga. this show will be aired on Sun
4/29/07 at 2:30PM.

I was soo disgusted after having contacted PBS,and Charter 4 times, that I still didn't have any answer when this progranm was going to air here. Isent an email to GPB this AM, and received the response this afternoon.

I understand it's well worth watching.

11. Yes, Moyers, Olbermann, Pincus and a precious few other print...
people. The rest (including Oprah) should confess to how worthless they are, and then spend the rest of their days working without pay to correct all the wrong they have reaped. If they can live with themselves that is.

25. Russert pissed me off almost more than anyone featured, for some reason.
I told my husband: "God, I just have this tremendous urge to smash in his stupid fat lying face!" (and I'm usually not a violent person!) What a fucking tool! And to think how involved he was in the theft of Florida in 2000... :grr:

31. There's A Reason Why He's "Media Whore of the Year" For Two Years Running
before The Horse went to pasture. He had all those administration officials on, and couldn't be bothered to call bullshit on any of them. I hate his fucking guts too.

Edited on Thu Apr-26-07 09:03 AM by Marie26
My favorite part was when Russert whines that none of the anti-war intelligence sources "called him" to tell him what they knew. Oh my God, Russert, do you not know the most basic function of being a reporter? YOU call people to collect information & find out the truth. You don't just put Cheney on for a free infomercial. Also, when he started to talk about being a "working-class kid from Buffalo", I just started swearing. STFU Russert! You are an Establishment sell-out, nothing more. At least he got called to account, a little, on this program.

18. One question still to ask
If the military really knew Saddam had WMD and had the intelligence on the WMD locations - why didn't they send in special ops to secure the suspected locations.

Did the jumpers drop in to secure ONE site? They secured oil fields. Why not any of the suspected WMD locations?

32. Moyers knows all about being an Administration tool
Moyers knows of what he speaks. He was the White House press secretary tasked with convincing the public--through the White House Press Corps--that Oswald killed Kennedy, would have been convicted at trial, and had no confederates who were still at large. He was given this order from acting Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach only hours after Ruby killed Oswald and before their relationship had even been investigated. He was given this order, furthermore, before the FBI had even read Kennedy's autopsy report or tested the speed of the Zapruder film, to see if Oswald's purported shooting feat was even POSSIBLE. (P.S. If this kind of stuff interests you you can read a heck of a lot more about it at patspeer.com. I also have 2 videos up on Youtube.)

40. I was only able to watch 1/2 hour or so...
Edited on Thu Apr-26-07 09:04 AM by youthere
and I had to turn it off. I have such a short fuse these days when it comes to the criminal actions of this administration, and I was actually frightened by the rage I felt watching that program. I applaud Moyers for this, but I just can't watch it. The sad sad fact is that despite this expose, there is still that 30% of Bush supporters that are shown "black" and not only will they insist it's "white" but they curse anyone who dares to state otherwise.
