Speaking of Tim Russert. He just pulled a DIRTY one in opening his show. He showed Bush's Iraq trip then showed LBJ in Vietnam 37 years earlier. THEN, he said something VERY much like, "Then just a few days later Hubert Humphrey had to deal wit the political FALLOUT from the trip"! (equating Vietnam to Iraq?)

Can you believe that? As if Bush's trip was going to be followed by negative political fallout. The outright bias is disgusting, and Russert is one of the least nasty."

That is disgusting, and yeah, Russert is one of the better ones.

It's so irritating--I watched the coalition briefing on CNN this a.m. and the reporters just cannot get beyond their script: One reporter asked about a few Iraqis cheering the dead Spanish, and said, "haven't you failed to win hearts and minds?"

Another reporter reacted to the statement that the enemy appears to be changing his tactics and going after softer targets. The reporter said, "But there have been more Americans killed this month than in any previous month. How can you say with a straight face that "the enemy," as you call it, is changing his tactics."

And these questions are always delivered in a condescending tone.

You are so right. The whole thing is so depressing if you see too much. I have a business that allows me to be close to talk shows and the media most of the day. It is very depressing watching the never-ending power of the mainstream press and their influence over the uninformed. I fear for America.
