Wow... why do I get the feeling AP might let her go, but Fox News Channel might decide to hire her?

[Califelephant]

Quick, somebody post that graphic of the flying pig!

[Pharmboy]

Aw c'mon: let us enjoy the moment. You're being much too rational here...

[Thom Pain]

SOMETIMES!!??

[diotima]

ping!

[BillM]

The above table of non-military employment from the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the lie to the jobloss garbage. It seems the only people who lost jobs were the military!!!

[Cicero]

I've seen Nedra Pickler's name on previous AP columns, and this is the very first one I've ever seen that I've agreed with. So it's not as if she is some kind of token conservative working at AP.

Maybe they decided it was time to spin the bottle and make somebody write ONE favorable article on behalf of Bush, to balance the other 999.

[diotima]

Can we do anything to support her? May be we need to come out with an annual award called "The Nedra" for journalists who brave the forces of evil to report the truth?

[Killborn]

I am shocked and awed that AP would publish this article, an egregious breach of leftist doctrine.

[Tamzee]

Whoops, sorry! Apologies all around....

[Cicero]

My goodness. Now that I've seen her picture in #19, I feel obliged for having laughed at her name in previous posts over the last year or two. This is still the first nonbiased report from her I've seen in the forum, however.

[Pharmboy]

"It could happen!"

[AppauledAtAppeasementConservat]

"The lovely and QUITE talented (and newly discovered Freeper pin-up) Nedra Pickler."

Smart, whitty AND attractive? No wonder they want to ban fairy tales like snow white!

I also had to do a triple take when I say this was an associated press release. No words can aptly describe the shock short of thinking I was just sucked into the twighlight zone.

[Pharmboy]

Thanks, Bill. Another fact from Freeperland that the lamestream would never give up.

[maggief]

[lonevoice]

One thing's fer sure: no more dinner party invites for Nedra.

Maybe she'll be getting new dinner party invites from a lot better class of friends. :-)

[Pharmboy]

Excellent idea! The "Nedra" is born! And she gets the first one. Perhaps one of our new snazzy mugs with her name on it...

[PISANO]

The mainstream MEDIA does a disservice to our nation EVERY DAY that they allow LIES to be said about GW. Among the lies are:

UNILATERAL attack on IRAQ.
IRAQ was an IMMINENT THREAT
Three million plus jobs lost (check out the Labor Dept website for the truth about this)
IRAQ had WMD (not a lie EVERY nation in the world and X42 proclaimed the same thing.
GW claimed IRAQ war over on Aircraft carrier
Yellow cake and Nigeria
911 was work of Saddam and Al Qaeda.

The list goes on and on and the MEDIA/REPORTERS NEVER question their accuracy or state what the TRUTH is by QUOTING GW.

[Pharmboy]

Yes...people who are actually capable of thinking for themselves. How refreshing!
