DAVID SHAW: RATHER's work 'Shoddy, Slipshod' not LIBERAL..?

NEVER FORGET

...Now longtime Los Angeles Times Media Critic DAVID SHAW, who was one of the first to write in a column that MONICA-GATE was "Just about SeX" is today reporting about CBS News' Reporter DAN RATHER:

At 72, RATHER has lost none of the hard-charging, go-anywhere, do-anything determination to get the story that marked his rise to the top of the network news hierarchy. But now that drive has taken him to the abyss. (Wasn't it Dallas, Texas TV Reporter DAN RATHER that told the world the JFK had officially been declared dead, before JFK had been?)

"It wouldn't surprise him," SHAW says "if RATHER is a liberal, but he says after a dozen or so interviews with RATHER over the years, the veteran news anchor has never hinted at having an ideological bias." (Say WHAT?)

"Will RATHER be forced out of his CBS News anchor chair?" SHAW goes on to ask.

NEWSMAX.com's CARL LIMBACHER adds that while SHAW is not seeking RATHER's ouster, many journalists believe that if precedent and reputation mean anything to CBS, the decision is clear.

But NOT to Los Angeles Times Media Critic DAVID SHAW..?

The thing that worries me is he says he's going to "pour his heart" into stories for 60 minutes I & II.

I still think he has an agenda, and is feeling rather like a "woman scorned"....

He will not go away, imho.

Associated Press covered WALTER CRONKITE's call for the South to secede from the United States at a London World Conferance in Year 2000.

Shows one, also, where his sympathies laid during his TV Reporting on our fight for the Freedom of Others in Vietnam..?

DAVID SHAW has been one of the most respected Media Critics in the country for Decades, working at the Los Angeles Times, renowned as an unbiased Conscience of the Press. But he has been secretly Liberal biased all along.

Covering up for the Liberal lies of people like DAN RATHER and WALTER CRONKITE has been SHAW's lifetime M.O. I know, for I was the first to tell him about RATHER and CRONKITE's Vietnam War Misreporting when we met after my return from the 1st Major Battles of the Vietnam War in 1966.

And then there was the CLINTON Impeachment when a confused Public was first fed the "It's just about SeX" propaganda line from...

...DAVID SHAW in a Commentary/Opinion Article of the Los Angeles Times.

When JOHN KERRY's Vietnam TV Lies came along in 1971, Media Critic DAVID SHAW should have been all over him like a knife thru butter ..for I had already filled DAVE in on the true Heroics of American Soldiers fighting for the Freedom of others in Vietnam, despite the misreporting of CBS. SHAW wasn't there for us then because he probably agreed with KERRY.

While SHAW still had his Media Vechicle to vent his Liberal Agenda with long ago, I did not yet have an Internet to battle his Liberal Agenda with. I do now.

During the 2004 Presidential Campaign DAVE SHAW covered for a Network TV News Anchor, DAN RATHER, who had just attempted to bring down a sitting Commander-in-Chief in Time of War ..with forged Military documents. Again a true Media Critic, like DAVID SHAW should be, would have been all over this case, but he opted to cover for his fellow Liberal RATHER instead by saying DAN had no motive to attack the President, when he has all along.
Media Critic work Freerepublic.com Freeper Buckhead ended up doing for the man anyway ...and History was made.


But now...
the Enemy Within HILLARY...
has just started her engines for 2008.
And guess who's going to be there covering for Media Liberals who are busy covering for HILLARY this time around..?

You guessed it, Media "Critic" DAVID SHAW.


Unless..???

PS: Many in today's Liberal Media look up to DAVID SHAW as their shining example of what's right about their own Journalism.

Time for a Change, perhaps..?

And now even...


...LIBERAL Columnist HOWARD FINEMAN agrees that...


..'The MEDIA Party is Over'..


http://www.Freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1319185/posts


LIBERAL News Reporter HOWARD FINEMAN states in his MSNBC News Website's above titled column that...

...when the Mainstream News Media took sides in its reporting during the Vietnam War (ie RATHER, CRONKITE) ...

...it became a Poltical Party...

...and a News Media no more.

In other words,

...LIBERAL HOWARD FINEMAN agrees with the Message of this Thread FINALLY..!!!

...Please be aware that it has literally taken 40 years for this to come to pass...

...but on the backs of huge numbers of poor S.E. Asian souls who ended up paying the heaviest of prices in human suffering for decades in return.

...RUSH LIMBAUGH read us a piece at the end of today's Conservative Talk Radio show, a Talk Show that unfortunately wasn't around during the Vietnam War to give us CLARITY on that Battle against Terrorism long ago.

...Seems this CBS Investigation of CBS' RATHER-GATE was Co-Headed by an Attorney DICK THORNBURGH, whose own Law Firm has....

...CBS as its Client..!!!

...RUSH went on to say that an Attorney's No. 1 Job for his Clients is to make sure they escape all legal liabilty for their actions.

...Thus we now have a CBS RATHER-GATE Investigative Report that does all it can to do just that...

...by "Seeing" no evidence of Political Agenda fore-knowledge of National Guard document forgeries by CBS News. And by not insisting on seeing those original documents. Original documents that are the very evidence Att. DICK THORNBURGH was supposedly commissioned to seek.

...These are things that a longtime LIBERAL Los Angeles Times Media Critic DAVID SHAW should be reporting to us on right now...

...but probably won't, based on his lifetime M.O., and not RUSH.
..(Prove me wrong, DAVE, Please)

...As a personal footnote here,

...please know that during the turbulent 1960's DAVID SHAW and I remained good friends, though we were forced to argue way too much perhaps about the Vietnam War and the effects of CBS News' mis-reporting of it. Each of us trying to convert the other to their point of view to no avail.

...In the end those arguments got to be too draining for us both and we had to finally say our Goodbye's to one another. I do consider this but one more personal casualty of CBS News' misreporting the Vietnam War to the American People. For I found DAVID SHAW to be a very engaging and charitable person and an otherwise good friend.

...But DAVE was informed early on by me in 1966 about my firsthand experiecne with a LIBERAL Media's Political Agenda to do all that it could to defeat Freedom for Vietam ...and they went on to defeat that Freedom.

...On that I have drawn the line and sacrificed much for years to make sure this reality gets out there to the American People thru our new News Media that's committed to CLARITY, thank GOD.

For it's...

COUNTRY First, no matter WHAT.

...And always should have been..!!
