If Lisa Myers works for CBS then it explains the extreme bias in the radio report I heard yesterday.
She said little about content but made sure to emphasize that all though Bush had many applause lines in the speech, he didn't receive any applause at all.
My God, how biased can these people get? Surely Lisa know that protocol prohibits clapping during these U.N. addresses....doesn't she.
Regardless, I'm venting here at just more blatant bias from these media hacks out to get Bush.
She's NBC. Not much better, as you know.
Why would these little dictator's clap when the know their about to be next?
Is it not customary in the UN to not applaud during speeches, and to only offer a subdued applause at the end?
She is an idiot. It is protocol at the UN not to clap during an address and to give only polite applause for any speaker no matter who. She should know that and point it out. But that would take a reporter who is informed and fair.
They clapped after President Bush finished speaking like they always do. They aren't exactly NICE people who respect this country. What the hell does she expect?! They hate our guts and steal our money. Once they get caught they LIE and deny, deny, deny (just like CBS and Dan Rather).
They didn't applaud their leader, Coffee
I just am getting weary of all the idiot Leftists in the news media.
A lot of the pathetically ignorant talking heads are mentioning the "cold reception."
Name the last U.N. speaker who was interrupted by applause from the General Assembly.
I'm sure there are forged documents or something similar in NBC's future. The bias there reeks. One problem is that they keep their "correspondents" around forever, so no new blood comes in to reflect changing views. Just as CBS ideologically is stuck around 1970 because that's when all their big guns were hired and started ossifying, NBC ideologically is living in 1980, BEFORE the Reagan win, stuck in a late-1970s liberal quagmire that can never end so long as they keep the same tired faces around.
She is from a small town in the southwest corner of Mo.
It is no suprise to me that her 'liberal slip' is showing here, as she has always been far left. A lot of her schoolmates have expressed the opinion that she thought she was 'above' them, sort of elitist.
Lisa Meyers is about as good as it gets in the MSM. Among other things, she did the interview with Juanita Broaddrick no one else would touch.
At least no one took off a shoe and starting banging it on the table ala Nikita K!
Who gives a damn whether anyone clapped or has the clap. Stupid talking heads.
The speech is what counts.
Since when has the UN applauded American presidents?
Oh, that's right, they loved Clinton for the way he bit his lip and felt their guilty pain after they let a million Ruandans get butchered.
Ain't that the truth! And those idiot Hollywood leftists.
Yea, I think they blew up trucks on Dateline and then said they were unsafe.
