My Letter to MSNBC
Me | 7/20/2004 | Me

Posted on 07/20/2004 11:59:38 AM PDT by Smogger

My letter to the editors at MSNBC:

From: "Smogger"
To: World@MSNBC.com
Subject: Your reporting of SocksGate (Sandy Berger)
Date: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 11:24 AM

The former National Security Advisor is videotaped taking classified documents relating to the War On Terror and his Administrations response to it, including TWO draft copies of his Administrations response to the Millennium bombing attempt. He also takes handwritten notes and stuffs them in his pants, jacket, AND SOCKS in a blatant violation of the law regarding classified materials, signs out that he has done nothing of the sort, and gives them to who knows who. He also happens to be John Kerry's top foreign policy advisor.

But your lead stories on the MSN home page are:

a.. Filipino hostage released
a.. Wildfire threatens north L.A.
a.. Gasoline prices rising again

And even on MSNBC's "News" page the story is relegated to a small blurb.

Are you telling me that if Condoleeza Rice was cuaght stuffing classified documents down her panties this story would be relagated to "page two" of your website?

Unbelievable.

Get on the ball MSNBC.

my guess is that we never see the video.

Just as we will never see the tape from the Radio City Hate Fest with F'ing kerry praising the "heart and soul of America" afterwards.

Why does everyone keep calling him "former Clinton advisor." Shouldn't he be "Sandy Berger, Advisor to John Kerry and form National Security Advisor under President Clinton?"

I have some connections in the newsroom and they hooked me up.

Nah..actually, it was posted one time on another thread earlier in the year.....after the Berg murder IIRC. I have looked and looked and do believe it is indeed an unpublished number. Some Freepers in that thread (do a Google search for "Freep the CBS Evening News") said people who answered were angry that the number was leaked.

What did they say? (just to make sure they didn't change the number since another Freeper released it earlier in the year).

The former National Security Advisor is videotaped

Are we really certain that there is videotape of the "Berglary"? Do you have a reference?

Hey.. THIS WAS FUN...

I called 212-975-3691 and said "What's this I hear about Condoleeza Rice stealing security documents from the National Archive???"

The gal says "Oh, that wasn't Condoleeza Rice, that was Sandy Berger".

So I say.. "Oh.. I didn't see the story on your news so I guess I got it wrong.. Are you going to run that story??"

She says "Yea.. we are working on it right now".

It would be hilarious if about a thousand people called asking for Condoleeza's head on a platter only to have CBS explain to them that it was actually Sandy Berger and therefore, everything is just OK... and also explain why the story has not hit the news yet.

If you want to barf until you almost die go to the msnbc website and watch the video of Katie (yuck) intervieving David Gergen. I shut the video down when he started talking about the "suspicious timing" of this leaking just before the Dim convention.

I see clinton fingerprints all over this. If they didn't want a big deal made over this it would have come out this Friday and been buried by news of the convention.

News chief Kaplan recently came on board from CNN.

This motherphucker is Tokyo Rose, Baghdad Bob and Joseph Goebbels rolled into one ugly piece of shiite.

MSNBC has become the North American news bureau for Al Qaeda and the Clintons (is there a difference?).

How come they also feature FOX Sports right below MSNBC News on msn.com?

Birds of a feather?

My local paper had huge headlines about Arnold's "girlie man " remark, and the Berger treason crime was on page 12.
