If you're in the viewing area, I can watch tonight and you can cover tomorrow. There's a list of Nebraska FReepers somewhere, I'll try to find it. I'm CC:ing all the email to advertisers to kolnkgin.com.

what slayed me was that juan williams was still arguing that even though the memos are forgeries, W should still answer the questions in them....never mind that he didn't have to take a flight physical for a plane that was not available to fly in Montgomery...,.this guy is an idiot and i love when britt slams him...and then mort piled on!

Did you know Blather was in Viet Nam.....

My neighbor was a dog handler in Vietnam. He often comes in to use one of the computers in the lab we have at school, and we get to talk a lot since I'm in charge of the lab.

Last spring he told me this story:

Rather and a cameraman were on a mission with my neighbor and his group, and they took some fire. While being helicoptered out with Rather and the cameraman, my neighbor said that the strangest thing happened.

Somehow, the usually obedient dog managed to get loose and went after the cameraman. The cameraman dropped the camera in the scuffle. A polite Lt. picked it up and handed it back, unfortunately though, with the camera in one hand and the film in the other.

My neighbor said Rather was really pissed about the film, which you can't blame him for, but generally he thought that Rather was a pretty good guy.

I asked him about it again this morning, and he told the story again, almost word for word. I think he's very honest, so it consider it to be true. My neighbor doesn't like Kerry because of the BS he pulled after he returned, but is otherwise neutral and analytical with news events.

FWIW

Ooh, I like the "chick in pjs"!

Would it be too hard to give her some tiger slippers or gator slippers?

They want it..They are accustomed to having it in a large part of the listeners...Their advertisers will not be happy...I HOPE they realize that the "brotherhood" has broken rank and is ON CBS because they don't want the fall out to hurt them further.

I switched over to MSNBC...Consensus...The story is now CBS..not Bush's records.

950AM KPRC switched to CBS News for radio updates back when Dan Patrick was there. It happened when Dan got mad at ABC News over something (he dropped ABC News for CBS). Does anyone remember/know was ABC's bias/error was?

Part of the decision to go with ABC News comes when a station wants to carry Paul Harvey's daily broadcast. I think that is only available to "ABC" stations.

Dan's over on 700AM KSEV these days. He's got something called "the USA Network" for news. He recently canned Alan Colmbes nighttime syndicated show becaus of the DNC talking points that Alan was spewing every night. His decision to even put Alan on the air came when (A) Alan was more evenhanded (at least in Dan's view), and (B) we were on the verge of war and Fox News would pre-empt such programs for live news (the chief factor in Dan's decision to carry Alan's show).

Time to freep the other CBS-affiliates.

Maybe even boycott their sports programs.

I'm in VA...was just trying to find a way we could all work together instead of everyone having to "re-invent the wheel".

Problem is, most of the advertizing on local news is local in origin.

Why stop there? Let's talk to copanies that advertise on CBS-News - both TV and radio.

Right as rain! The system works and it's called capitalism. This station will double it's ratings after this.

Stick a fork in old Danny, he's done!

He took Dan Rather's 4pm top of the hour brodcast off effective immediately and replaced it with Fox news.

How sweet it is!
