But they couldn't find a single person to interview face to face, in order to present a historical documentary to the world. It should be noted that the Zionist film industry has produced many films on the basis of these supposedly historical claims. These are hollow claims.

"I think that's possible," she purred, describing Miers as "an extraordinarily accomplished woman" who had "broken the glass ceiling." Thus did Laura Bush associate herself with the stand of Ellie Smeal of the Feminist Majority Foundation, who has branded critics of Miers' meager credentials a pack of sexist males. "I think that essentially that this hue and cry that she isn't qualified, there's a sexist basis to it," Smeal told The New York Times....

C-SPAN often teeters on the brink of self-parody, particularly when the hosts of its morning discussion program, “Washington Journal,” stare impassively at the camera while yet another crazed caller recites chapter and verse of the latest conspiracy theories involving the Trilateral Commission or the Bush family’s Nazi/Saudi/Zionist/ KGB/CIA ties (choose one or more and don’t think twice about any seeming contradictions). Formed in 1979 as, in the words of its mission statement, “a private, non-profit company...by the cable television industry as a public service....to provide public access to the political process,” C-SPAN is deadly serious about maintaining a reputation for...
