Newsweek's voice-over : Inside Politics

The Washington Times ^ | 11/9/04 | Greg Pierce

[Pfesser]

When will the mass media learn?

[Mike Bates]

Of course it was Kerry's voice. Who else speaks of Jengis Khan?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Never. And their circulation shows it.

[El Oviedo]

Newsweek shame on you? You shouild apologize.

[nonkultur]

I wonder if Larry O'Donnell will call Newsweek liars.

[mewzilla]

This whole issue stinks, from the deal with the devil that Newsweek made for access to the finished product. Caveat Emptor.

[jennyjenny]

I wondered about that when I read the Newsweek article. I've never had a job where I could "make a mistake" like these people do over and over, and keep it, apologize or not. I don't understand why these people get to keep their jobs.

[aardvark1]

WWJD? What would Jenjis do?

[UncleSamUSA]

Amazing that Newsweek would try to convince the millions of us who CLEARLY heard Kerry's own voice saying "Jen-gis Kahn" that it was an actor instead!!!

Talk about DELUSIONAL !!!!!

[hobson]

I don't understand why these people get to keep their jobs.

You must live in the red part of the country where honor and integrity are held dear. These people live in the blue part where any lie about the enemy is a badge of courage.

[Savage Beast]

Never. But so what? They're on the way down the drain.

And so what if the Swift Vets did use a voice-over, if they used Kerry's words?

Several years ago, Matt Drudge told these people--the so-called "journalists" of the "Mainstream Newsmedia"--that they were headed for irrelevance. He also told them how to prevent it. They lacked the wit and the honesty to pay attention to him.

Since then, it has become more and more obvious.

This election, as much as anything else, was referendum on the relevance and trustworthiness of the "Mainstream Newsmedia". The American people confirmed predictions that it was headed for the septic tank.

Remember when Newsweek was respected? Remember when the BBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the New York Times, the LATimes, the Washington Post, Time magazine, et al. were respected and relevant. They no longer are.

They have become a joke, and the American people don't think it's funny.

The "Mainstream Newsmedia" and its so-called "journalists" are like a vulgar, unfunny, angry, disgusting stand-up comedian, and the American people are throwing tomatoes at it. The faster it gets off the public stage, the better.

[Jeeper]

They tell the lies Liberals want to hear.

[YaYa123]

For way too many years, the MSM, talking head pukes and pundits have been getting away with these untruths. No one bothers to correct them. For instance, in almost any interview you have seen on television about the Swiftboaters, the Kerry defenders will preface their comments with the stealth, throwaway line, "every allegation they've made has been proven false...". It's not true at all, but even our side has let them get away with it.

You know, I'd be interested to see a map showing where this rag's subscribers are located. Bet that would entertaining...

[thingumbob]

Mr. Bozell......I wouldn't hold your breathe if I were you.......

[thingumbob]

Excuse me that should read

Mr. Bozell......I wouldn't hold My breathe if I were you.......

[KellyAdmirer]

Jenjis Kerry was reading his own lines, thank you very much. Newsweek really has lost its moorings.

[Cubs Fan]

Bias is too nice a word for it anymore. The MSM has become so rabidly partisan they're making mistakes all over the place. They don't check facts they just believe what they want to believe.

[penowa]

Unfortunately, probably any place where a doctor or dentist's off is located.

[mewzilla]

No wonder hypertension is on the rise :) But seriously, betcha most of their subcribers live in blue counties. If so, that would explain a lot.
