What media bias? This media bias …
Right after President Bush’s address to the nation last night, ABC reporter Dean Reynolds went out interviewing Katrina victims. He asked Bush-bashing baiting questions, however the woman he interviewed didn’t bite on to it.
Note: Around the 17 second mark you can tell Reynolds cut her off to ask her another question because he was unhappy with the result.

This is a great video showing an intelligent evacuee brusing off Dean Reynolds from ABC
Bernard Goldberg has plenty of material for a sequel to "Bias."
Haha...that reporter was apparently frustrated with that woman.
This is priceless!
Anyone have a link to the full ABC smackdown video?
follow the link
Just wonderful! - The fact is the MSM have to try and spin this story negative against the federal Gov't (GWB) because if anyone just uses their own common sense....they know that there is any fault to go around it is at the local and State levels (not the federal level at all!).
Heard the description on Rush a few minutes ago. It sounds hillarious. I am glad to hear that maybe these folks down in NO aren't quite out of it yet. In fact, given enough information and an outlet for it, they can probably kiss old Mayor Nagin goodbye in a recall vote! They seem to have a handle on who was responsbile for them. What is frustrating is how they folks on the bridge with Shep from Fox News didn't get it. Were these folks coached to react that way?
Even before the speech it started.
I missed the very first part but during the intro, before the prez was even on, the commentator said something to the effect that this was not the correct place to have this speech because energy was hard to come by in NO. I don't remember the words exactly but if somebody recorded it they could review and post the comments that took place before the speech even started. I am not even sure of the network but it was one of the big 3.
all I can say is ...
WOW!!!!!!!!
That is absolutely perfect!

"Bernard Goldberg has plenty of material for a sequel to "Bias.""
He does in fact have a sequel, titled "ARROGANCE." A good if bile-rising read.
Cheers
Here is another site with the complete transcript!!!!!

Really Great
He already published Arrogance as a sequel. Even, so the evidence keeps growing at an enormous rate. Should call the next book Still Biased or Even More Bias?
Yes I heard the energy thing, but they didn't followup with the fact that the energy was provided by generators brought in by the White Hhouse.....
How about IMPOTENCE?
I thought you left!!!!!
Good to see you! (is Mr. King still with us?)
Here is the transcript...........................
Reynolds elicited reaction from the group sitting in chairs: “I'd like to get the reaction of Connie London who spent several horrible hours at the Superdome. You heard the President say retpeaedly that you are not alone, that the country stands beside you. Do you believe him?”
Connie London: “Yeah, I believe him, because here in Texas, they have truly been good to us. I mean-”
Reynolds: “Did you get a sense of hope that you could return to your home one day in New Orleans?”
London: “Yes, I did. I did.”
Reynolds: “Did you harbor any anger toward the President because of the slow federal response?”
London: “No, none whatsoever, because I feel like our city and our state government should have been there before the federal government was called in. They should have been on their jobs.”
Reynolds: “And they weren't?”
London: “No, no, no, no. Lord, they wasn't. I mean, they had RTA buses, Greyhound buses, school buses, that was just sitting there going under water when they could have been evacuating people.”
Reynolds: “Now, Mary, you were rescued from your house which was basically submerged in your neighborhood. Did you hear something in the President's words that you could glean some hope from?”
Mary: “Yes. He said we're coming back, and I believe we're coming back. He's going to build the city up. I believe that.”
Reynolds: “You believe you'll be able to return to your home?”
Mary: “Yes, I do.”
Reynolds: “Why?”
Mary: “Because I really believe what he said. I believe. I got faith.”
Reynolds: “Back here in the corner, we've got Brenda Marshall, right?”
Brenda Marshall: “Yes.”
Reynolds: “Now, Brenda, you were, spent, what, several days at the Superdome, correct?”
Marshall: “Yes, I did.”
Reynolds: “What did you think of what the President told you tonight?”
Marshall: “Well, I think -- I think the speech was wonderful, you know, him specifying that we will return back and that we will have like mobile homes, you know, rent or whatever. I was listening to that pretty good. But I think it was a well fine speech.”
Reynolds: “Was there any particular part of it that stood out in your mind? I mean, I saw you all nod when he said the Crescent City is going to come back one day.”
Marshall: “Well, I think I was more excited about what he said. That's probably why I nodded.”
Reynolds: “Was there anything that you found hard to believe that he said, that you thought, well, that's nice rhetoric, but, you know, the proof is in the pudding?”
Marshall: “No, I didn't.”
Reynolds: “Good. Well, very little skepticism here. Frederick Gould, did you hear something that you could hang on to tonight from the President?”
Frederick Gould: “Well, I just know, you know, he said good things to me, you know, what he said, you know. I was just trying to listen to everything they were saying, you know.”
Reynolds: “And Cecilia, did you feel that the President was sincere tonight?”
Cecilia: “Yes, he was.”
Reynolds: “Do you think this is a little too late, or do you think he's got a handle on the situation?”
Cecilia: “To me it was a little too late. It was too late, but he should have did something more about it.”
Reynolds: “Now do you all believe that you will one day return to your homes?”
Voices: “Yes” and “I do.”
Reynolds: “I mean, do you all want to return to your homes? We're hearing some people don't even want to go back.”
Mary: “I want to go back.”
Reynolds: “You want to go back.”
Mary: “I want to go back. That's my home. That's all I know.”
Reynolds: “Is it your home for your whole life?”
Mary: “Right. That's my home.”
Reynolds: “And do you expect to go back to the house or a brand new dwelling or what?”
Mary: “I expect to go back to something. I know it ain't my house, because it's gone.”
Reynolds: “What is the one mistake that could have been prevented that would have made your lives much better? Is it simply getting all of you out much sooner or what was it?”
Mary: “I'm going to tell you the truth. I had the opportunity to get out, but I didn't believe it. So I stayed there till it was too late.”
Reynolds: “Did you all have the same feeling? I mean, did you all have the opportunity to get out, but you were skeptical that this was the really bad one?”
Unnamed woman: “No, I got out when they said evacuate. I got out that Sunday and I left before the storm came. But I know they could have did better than what they did because like they said, buses were just sitting there, and they could have came through there and got people out, because they were saying immediate evacuation. Some people didn't believe it. But they should have brung the force of the army through to help these people and make them understand it really was coming.”
London: “And really it wasn't Hurricane Katrina that really tore up the city. It was when they opened the floodgates. It was not the hurricane itself. It was the floodgates, when they opened the floodgates, that's where all the water came.”
Reynolds: “Do you blame anybody for this?”
London: “Yes. I mean, they've been allocated federal funds to fix the levee system, and it never got done. I fault the mayor of our city personally. I really do.”
Reynolds: “All right. Well, thank you all very much. I wish you all the best of luck. I hope you don't have to spend too much more time here in the Reliant Center and you can get back to New Orleans as the President said. Ted, that is the word from the Houston Astrodome. And as I said, when the President said that the Crescent City will rise again, there were nods all around this parking lot.”
Ping for later
Right about the time I'd hearly given up all hope for America...along comes this little gem to revive my spirit. God grant that we may have more clear thinking such as this by Americans every where.

Not only that, but ABC had just spent the previous hour airing a criticism of the response where they repeatedly said that people were waiting for buses to take them out, but there were no buses. Their failure throughout that hour-long program to point out that there were dozens of buses in New Orleans that the City had failed to use was very obvious to anyone "in the know". Then, as they interviewed evacuees in Houston after the Prseident's speech, one of the first people questioned mentioned those buses and criticised the City's failure to use them - I just about fell off my chair! ABC tried their best, but nobody was willing to criticise Bush nor the Federal response. It was hilarious!
God bless that woman!
Thanks. I was going to say that it sounded pretty balanced. But then, after the woman's comment about the buses, Mr. Reynolds never followed up! He changed the subject!
WOOHOO!
I get really sad when my favs decide to go away! I can't imagine FR without some of you. (and that does include you, Dog)
Oh, this is a BERY good day! :) Hearing what those people said after the President’s speech last night was just beyond priceless! The libs tried again to repackage lies as the truth, and gave it their dead level best to sell it, and it didn’t work. I didn’t even bother watching any media after the speech, because the abc show before the speech was such an obvious hit piece to try and anger people before Bush even started talking. I LOVE IT when lies and manipulation fly back in the face of those who try to sell them. It’s still early to make this kind of prediction, I know, but I really believe now that LA will be a redder than red state in the coming years. The people there know more than any of us the corruption of their LA gangster "government", the media can’t convince them that the slow initial relief effort was Bush’s fault when they know good and well whose fault it is. NOW, conservatism will be use in LA, and it will work. Like Rush said, conservatism WORKS, liberalism DOESN’T, and it’s just that simple. The absence of the Soviet Union, the economic boom of the 90s, the rebound of the economy the past four years, and soon, the emergence of LA as a prospering bastion of modern conservative policy. Now it’s just time to do it and keep our boots on the liberals throat, where it belongs. The truth shall set you free, and if you try and bury it, it will bury you with your lies. This is very much enjoyable. :)
Reynolds was just plain dumbfounded and could not find a way out...
Great!!!!
I love the part where she blames the local / state folks about 25 second in.
God speed to her and all that are down there suffering.
The MSM has done this country a great disservice in their reporting of probably the greatest natural disaster in our recorded history. I refuse to watch the coverage anymore. It is too early for me to endure the 2008 presidential campaign.
Thanks Rudy
This was a great lift for the day!!!!
Unfortunately the Politicalteen's site has pop-ups and (I suspect) adware - I won't go there again!
Bless her heart for being honest!
I listened to Rush for a the first hour this afternoon and he talked about this and played the tape.
Thank you for your post with the ABC transcript. 8) I enjoyed sending it to my email list. Thanks a lot! 8)
Rush Limbaugh lead off his show with this today.
Of course, from the ABC News website you'd never know about this interview. See this link: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=1132746
Amazing...again.
AWESOME!
You can try this site - it gives even more info

You are are welcome. Glad I could help!!!!
Personally, I haven't been this upbeat for a couple of weeks!
On radio here in Phoenix, Rush just called ABC's Nightline show "a major-league big media backfire." He has just roasted ABC for trying to set up an angry group of evacuees who would attack bush, but instead the group attacked Nagin and Blanco. Ho ho ho ho, he he he he, haaaaaahhh! Now this is hilarious.
Much Better! Thank you.
Associated Press didn't have any trouble finding Bush bashers at the Astrodome. The man is offering them the world and quote "it's not enough". None of the bashers the AP reporter "found" were quoted as saying anything about their mayor or governor.
Since I don't watch ABC I missed Nightline. If I had known that the NO locals would skewer the commentators and Nagin/Blanco I would have invited others to watch with me!!!!
The face of an ANGEL!
Meant to add this was on the local Houston ABC website.
