Newsbusters.org ^ | 5-14-09 | Scott Whitlock

"Good Morning America" co-host Diane Sawyer worried on Thursday that Barack Obama backtracked "on his pledge to release pictures of U.S. soldiers allegedly torturing terror suspects," fretting that this might be a "cave-in to Dick Cheney and the political right."

Later in the show, former Democratic aide-turned journalist George Stephanopoulos appeared on the program to put the best possible spin on the Obama administration's decision to appeal a court decision ordering pictures of alleged abuse released. Talking to co-host Robin Roberts, he offered talking points that could have come straight from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

OK, but how many other terrorist sympathizer-correspondents from the 30’s can you think of?

Remember, ZERO didn’t decide to withhold these pictures, he was decided! General Pareaus stated he was not going to play games with this crap, if those thirty pictures were going to be released by him, the other 2000-3000 pictures were going to be released together with them, he was not going to release 30 or 40 whenever ZERO thought it was good for his politics!

Shut your elitist pie hole, Diane, and go to that well-stocked, gourmet fridge of yours and stuff yourself full of your olive oil ice cream. Cow.

And given their morning conference calls, they probably did.

“A bit off topic - did anyone notice how the nightly news are no longer airing the names of our soldiers who gave their lives?”

The Idiot press corps need to roll all the millions who died in WWII, and those who died in all other wars that America has fought in, and then pronounce those leaders (FDR, JFK, Lincoln, et al) evil and promoting blood for (name a product that fits the time.)

Hypocritical bastaaaads...

“Or is it just shocking to him that 0bama is actually siding with the troops.”

Although I understand your other points about George Snuffaluffagus (funny), please don’t give zero any credit..

“Friggen lefty media lunatics.
Its hard to believe they actually believe the things they say, and without a trace of embarrassment.”

Trust me, they don’t *think* about these things they’re saying very long, if at all. As someone else pointed out above, Diane is quickly off to her gourmet food and getting her friggen toenails done. It’s all about emotion with these press Idiots.

Ok Diane...the President whose party enjoys a near super majority in Congress is caving because of what an ex-Vice President has to say on a cable news station? Keep dreaming...

“Was Diane Sawyer the one who committed adultery with a congressman? No wait, that was Barbara Wawa.”

Shame on you. Defaming the character of an upstanding member of the fourth estate such as Barbara Walters.

Ms. Walters has won several prestigious awards in her field of Journalism.

She has been an inspiration to young women everywhere who look up to her intelligence and determination.

It was a Senator.

An administration manipulating what goes out to the news cycle?

Don’t worry, Dianne. Zer0 did plenty of damage to U.S. security by just suggesting that he would release the photos.

God bless Dick Cheney. He was released from the constraints of the "new tone" and now he's speaking the truth. We could use many more like him in the Republican Party.
