The Media is worse than ever.

Excellent article!

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

The media isn't even pretending to be unbiased anymore. ABC admitted as much on their website earlier this year. The problem is, they, and CBSNBCCNN won't admit it on the air. There are still some suckers who buy every bit of snake oil they sell.

Gorelick can apologize to her countrymen for lying to them.

Letter to commission by Alberto Gonzales

  Commissioner Gorelick suggested that Dr. Rice’s statement in the Post editorial ... “[o]ur plan called for military options to attack al Qaeda and Taliban leadership, ground forces and other targets — taking the fight to the enemy where he lived” was inaccurate.

  In fact, as records made available months ago to the Commission demonstrate, the draft National Security Presidential Directive on al Qaeda approved by deputies and Principals before September 11, 2001 included a direction to the Department of Defense to plan for military action against: “Taliban targets in Afghanistan, including leadership, command-control, air and air defense, ground forces and logistics” (as well as numerous al Qaeda targets ). 

It is clear, then, that Dr. Rice’s Washington Post op-ed was entirely consistent with the documentary record provided to the Commission.

CAL THOMAS ping.....................(GREAT ARTICLE)

The presidential news conference is necessary so the public can see and hear George Bush, unfiltered by [the Leftist media]

Frankly, President Bush is not good at extemporaneous responses to questions, particularly when the questions are viciously designed by his enemies to trip him up. Bush should simply forgo these sham "news" conferences, and just give State of the Union Addresses from the Oval Office.

[LucyJo]

The president's honesty, integrity, and decency stood in stark contrast to the lack of those attributes in his questioners. He defeats them at their "gotcha game" simply by being the genuinely good man that he is. They don't seem to have a clue, and don't have the depth of character to help themselves if they did.

The sad truth is that the liberals and the liberal media hate our President more than they hate our sworn enemies the terrorists.

May God protect the USA.

INTREP - MAINLINE MEDIA SHOULD BE DERAILED

[uncbob]

Since Clark feels like apologizing somebody should ask how he can in good conscience make $$$ on his book

Better yet he should DONATE all the profits to the families of GIs killed fighting Bin Laden in Afkanistan

They can use it to educate the orphans of the men who died

[Mike Darancette]

The Evil Bush refused to apologize for being an American and for honoring his oath of office.

At a presidential news conference what prevents the president from calling on a variety of reporters so that it balances out to one conservative to one socialist?

[dennisw]

truth!

[southern bale]

did anyone in the media ask clinton to apologize for okc bombing?

How 'bout ruby ridge or waco? the clinton admin was directly responsible for both of those.

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

most journalists vote for Democrats

Stop the presses, breaking news alert!

[pawdoggie]

While we're at the "apology" game... I demand that President Polk apologize for preemptively invading Mexico. I want William McKinley's apology for letting the "Jingos" push him into war with Spain because the Maine had a coal bunker fire. I want Franklin Roosevelt to apologize for the unpreparedness and errors that contributed to the Pearl Harbor disaster. I want Harry Truman to apologize because his Secretary of State, Acheson, did not mention Korea as being in the US "sphere of influence" (thereby precipitating the North Korean invasion). I want Teddy Kennedy's brother to apologize for the Bay of Pigs, and for the displays of weakness during the Bay of Pigs and at the Vienna summit that led to the Cuban Missile Crisis. I want Lyndon Johnson to apologize, not for the Gulf of Tonkin, but for leading us into a war that we now know (from his White House Tapes) he had no intention of winning. I want Jimmy Carter to apologize for Desert One in Iran (he may have "accepted responsibility", but he never apologized), and for showing such cowardice of the Soviets that they invaded Afghanistan. I demand that Bill Clinton stop blaming Bush '41 and apologize for Somalia.

Now, I realize that most of these guys are dead (and mostly Democrats, for that matter), but we may be able to work something out with the help of a good medium like, say, that John Edward guy on the Sci-Fi Channel. Or their heir and assigns could issue the apologies for them.

[Travis McGee]

I honestly wish the President would do the following at the next press conference.

Three sentences into a speech/question setup by a "reporter," he should cut him off. "Bob, if you can't come here prepared with a question, I'll have to move to a reporter who's ready. Mary, what's your question tonight?"

You can bet after losing their big chance once or twice and being humiliated on national TV, the reporters would drop the speechifying, and get right to real questions.
