Luckily for those who look to the media for truth and objectivity, technology is making the mainstream networks less and less relevant. In looking at the media during the election campaign, the most significant event was the role that websites and blogs played in ferreting out the truth. When Rather introduced the forged document concerning George W. Bush’s National Guard service, it seemed like only moments before Free Republic and other blogs were posting information that the document could not have been produced on a 1970s era typewriter. That one post will likely mark a turning point in the history of the media and how important stories are covered.

Residual effects from the following experience may explain Rather's tenuous hold on reality.

"I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it," Rather told the Ladies Home Journal in 1980. "The experience was a special kind of hell."

Hey Hanoi Kerry

The BEST is yet to come from Viet Nam Vets!

WAIT till America knows the REAL truth about you!

Your "honorable discharge" is as phony
as your Purple Hearts and your other phony medals!

You and the MSM are traitors to the American public!

Go to France you scum! And take the MSM with you!

THEN the MSM can't try and "fix" another
election with their phony polls.




Yes, Nov 2 was a great battle victory!
But the war is NOT over.
I've seen on TV and heard on the Radio
attacks about Swift Boat Vets AFTER the election.
And what liars they are.
So closure is NOT going to happen for Viet Nam Vets, yet.
Time to expose Hanoi Kerry in the MSM once and for all!
Then Viet Nam Vets will FINALLY be vindicated.
THEN it will be over!

DON'T LET THIS STORY DIE!

THE story that
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
DON'T WANT AMERICA TO KNOW!

John Kerry's Discharge
He won't sign Form 180
What is he hiding?

Ex-Navy sec to Kerry: Open up your records
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41230

NY Sun 11/01/04
Kerry's Discharge Is Questioned by An Ex-JAG Officer

http://www.nysun.com/article/4040

"There is overwhelming evidence that the Navy gave John Kerry either a dishonorable discharge
or an undesirable discharge – which is the equivalent of a dishonorable discharge
without the felony conviction – and that, as a result of such discharge,
he was stripped of all of his famous but questionable Navy awards and medals.

And the kicker? The evidence is on his website!"

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41200

BUT
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
made sure you knew about the Bush phony National Guard documents.

Q) Why did
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
NOT ask Kerry about why he wouldn't sign Form 180?

A) Because they are AFRAID of the REAL story!




EXPOSE HANOI KERRY!

Bradley then piped up that he did in fact teach math at one point in his life.

This is FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!

Nothing like watching two ancient news dudes duke it out.

Dan pretends to be a good ole boy.
if he really was one he'd know something: chickens CAN fly.
not well, no, and not that far.
Better than the Wrights did at Kitty Hawk, though.

Thank goodness that one of the three people watching him was one of the good guys so they could report back what he said.

We are NOT a BLOG, we are a Bulletin Board.

Reminds me of the old SNL skit from SNL The Funny Years... John Belushi was meeting a girl's dad. He asked if he was in a gang. Belushi said "It isn't a GANG, it's a CLUB!

Late that night it really looked like Ed Bradley was a man trying to talk someone down off the railing of a bridge.

Dan Rather is long overdue for retirement. I agree that with him will go the alphhabet stronghold on the news. May he sail off into the sunset with Walter Conkrite. The news will be NEWs and not opinion from now on.

I ws watching SeeBS a lot on election night to enjoy seeing dan self-destruct. I saw he exchange between dan and bradley, and it was even more hysterical that the story implies. When Bradley pointed out (reluctantly) that there was no way kerry could take Ohio, dan berated bradley over and over again. He practically called him a "dumb nigger"! Bradley rightly got pissed, and it was a hoot to watch.

Instead of going out in style to end an illustrious career, Dan Rather is going out and down in flames. I guess he never got over the tongue lashing he received from Papa Bush back in 1988, and he sought to get over on the son. It failed thanks in large part to the people here on this board. It was funny to watch Dan get so flustered early Wednesday morning when it was becoming apparent that the President was going to carry Ohio and be reelected. All that work to bring down a President and it failed. Also, the credibility of the entire MSM took a severe hit in the eyes of most Americans. I don't know which I feel better about- the defeat of Kerry or the defeat of the MSM. On second thought I'm enjoying both events with equal joy.

[ And when Rather next called upon Bradley, he introduced him as “Ed Bradley who is not a mathematics professor”. Bradley then piped up that he did in fact teach math at one point in his life. ]

Now THATS funny.... Dan Rather the Barney Fife of the Beverly Hillbillies.. and a double-ought spy besides.. What a maroon... Ted Baxter without the quiet humility..

"...just because a chicken has wings, doesn’t mean it can fly."

LOL! To Dan:

Yes, Dan, chickens with wings can fly, unless they're Democrat chickens.
