BUMP. A must see. Absolutely the best compilation of the Year’s Worst Reporting.

Dan Rather [trolling again on the frequency of murder, mayhem and terror]: "Mr. President, if only you knew how
much I and others at CBS support you and Castro rather than our unelected (sic) Bush."

Terrorist-Murderer Saddam: "Mr, Rather, it is absolutely remarkable that you media girly men
will repeatedly betray the USA, your President, and even the free American people during war
and for so very little. You and Mr. Cronkite are truly amazing.
Do you realize, Mr. Rather, that for millions and millions of Iraqis and my captives
I had to gang rape each man's children and his wife,
and then burn them in nitric acid, and mutilate them by cutting off at least an ear,
and then force them to watch me push their children through a paper shredder.
Mr. Rather, I used to have to remove testicles and arms before we have every seen such betrayal.
But you and CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, and CNN grovel to me ......for nothing.
Thank you, Mr. Rather.
Thank you. We, terrorists worldwide,
are very very lucky to have you, Mr. Cronkite and the others, Mr. Rather."

In retrospect, CBS's reporting of that with Rather ... I'm seeing it as downright treasonous. It DID lend aid and comfort to the enemy.

Thank G-d for our shrewd Generals and Staff who took the murderer and tyrant down with unimaginable efficiency and very low bloodshed. Miracously low bloodshed, but a miracle that was worked very hard for by our fellows in the Army, Marines and the other Services.

and the person, the persons, who should be thanking our Military the most are CBS and Rather, for that poorly timed media grandstanding and mollycoddling of a bloody, foul tyrant could have cost tens of thousands of lives had our Military Commanders and Planners not been so ace at their tasks.

This thread IS a Must See... THANK YOU for the ping!

Thanks for the ping! What a great thread and love the pictures you added of Dan Rather with Saddam -- they are perfect for this thread.

I love it when the leftist media tries to say there is no leftist bias.

MRC does a fantastic job in pointing out the bias in the media!

You would have been doubly impressed had you seen Dan Rather's own personal spin on these interviews.

Shortly after Saddan Hussein's capture, the History channel rebroadcast these interviews, albeit with an interesting twist. During the rebroadcast, they had Dan Rather himself commenting on the purpose of the various questions, explaining for the viewers the true but hidden reasoning behind the questions. Much was made of Hussein's offer and the POTUS refusal to engage in live televised debates. Nearly as much was made over Dan Rather's own personal courage in conducting the interviews; bravery personified entering into the mouth of the dragon, as it were . . .

A spin so pure and unfettered a toy top maker would blush . . .

Damn' good reporting!
