Bernard Goldberg: "Can I say something that touches on a very sensitive issue? The news media, and how we failed to thoroughly cover and communicate the very essences we're talking about possessed by Ronald Reagan. What I've been reading and what I've been hearing, I did not get during his two terms in office. Or did I miss something?"

Wolf Blitzer: "I think you're on to something, Bernie, uh.. "

Goldberg: "I think we failed our viewers, listeners and readers to an appreciable extent. I can't quantify it, but I'll put it there. Because I certainly missed a lot."

It goes on!! I'm speechless. Someone get the smelling salts.

continuing...

Wolf Blitzer: "I think you're absolutely right, Bernie. We've learned a lot more about this presidency in the years that have followed Ronald Reagan's two terms in office, and I suspect, as more of his diaries, more of his papers, more of his speeches, more information is released by the presidential library in Simi Valley, we'll learn even a great deal more."

Judy Woodruff: "Yeah, I just wanted to add, Wolf, uh, what Bernie said, I mean I think, triggers a reaction in all of us. I do think there's new material coming out now about Ronald Reagan. You know, with the distance of years, we have the ability to go back and talk to people, to read, to get information that we sometimes don't get in the hurlyburly. And clearly, some of it too is when someone passes, when there is a death. I think there's a respectful distance, I mean, I heard a few people say in the last days, 'well, the media's going overboard with this. Why spend seven days remembering Ronald Reagan?' In fact, it's entirely appropriate to go and to appreciate what this man meant to this country, what he meant to the world. And the newsmedia is a very big part of that. What's going on now is entirely appropriate."

can you get a load of her? Some of us got it despite your interference, Judy! Talk about a lesson in institutional bias.

Was he serious or was this a back-handed slap at Reagan as if to say "these people are saying all these great things about Reagan and they must have been on a different planet that me"?

Frankly, I don't give a darn what the media missed.

WE GOT IT.............WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG........WE DO NOT LAMENT THE PASSING OF COMMUNISM.......WE DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO MORAL EQUIVALENCE......WE DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO SITUATIONAL ETHICS........SOMETIMES WE FAIL, BUT WE PICK OURSELVES UP AND TRY AGAIN.
