In the Blogosphere, Lightning Strikes Thrice

Washington Post ^ | 02/13/05 | Howard Kurtz

Steve Lovelady: "Most blogs are 99.9 percent opinion. This (his) is a Web site run by and staffed by responsible journalists whose job is to monitor, critique and praise the campaign press, on a daily basis."

They might as well start reporting their circulation numbers in the obits, too. Between the two, it'll be the best part of the paper.

Man they are amazing how they insist on framing every issue in terms that make their man look innocent. Covering up for Saddam Hussein's atrocities, and hurling treasonous accusations at our soldiers in public forums are the reason Jordan resigned, not because of any quirk of the blogosphere.

Not hardly, what with the Washington Post, Fox News, the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal and ABC News, plus half the blogosphere, swarming all over Rather like hungry wasps. If nothing else, that phenomenon ought to be reassuring to those benighted souls who imagine that "the press" is some sort of ominous monolithic force. To the contrary, the press has a distinguished (or disgraceful, depending on how you look at it) record of turning cannibalistic whenever one of its own wobbles or goes down on one knee.

They ONLY concentrated on the fonts of the memo

The media TOTALLY ignored the real question ..

WHO forged these Military Documents ..

What phone calls were on Max Clelland and Joe Lockhart's cell phone?

Why did Rather and CBS try to change the out come of a Presidential Election?

There were sooooooooo many questions they MSM didn't want to ask

Why??

My guess it's because they didn't want to know the answers

You are right on the money .. that is exactly what I think when I listen to FOX. Some of their reporters do that - but a lot of them don't - and it really angers me. The weekends are the worse - and they seem to pander to the left more on weekends and I end up not watching them at all, except for War Stories.

In Rush's newsletter, he did an interview with Brent Bozell. Brent said he believed there would be another conservative news network very soon. My impression was that he meant a station more conservative than FOX - and a station less inclined to leave out the "we say" part. I sure would like to be involved in getting something like that on the air - what a fun job that would be.

 The O'Malley Affair- NCPAC, MD4Bush, Ehrlich, & more

CBS still has Ohio listed as "too close to call" and haven't called the election for Bush.

Wasn't Jordon also the guy who admitted that he and CNN brass knew about the mass murders and tortures by Hussien, but never reported on it so that they wouldn't be thrown out of Iraq?

CNN put the announcement of Jordan's resignation in the Entertainment section.

Gosh, I'm pretty late to the game! I just found this out by reading this column. I've been stuck on O' Malley. Good going, guys!

The News We (CNN) Kept To Ourselves [must read]

Minor point of correction - I believe CNN was damaged by Operation Tailwind. It was the Navy that suffered because of Tailgate.

If historians won't put the final ironic nail in the political coffin of the feminists, I will.

It was a spectacular triumph for the feminists when they brought down Senator Packwood. It was a fatal mistake for them when they failed to do the same with President Clinton.

"CBS still has Ohio listed as "too close to call" and haven't called the election for Bush."

Every time I read that, I break out in a wide grin. I think it will ultimately be ensconced in the culture as a metaphor for sore losers!

CBS still hasn't called the election for Bush!

[Libertarian4Bush]

CBS still hasn't called the election for Bush!

where can I find this?

[tioga]

[SandRat]

LOL

[Judith Anne]

Thanks. I needed that post (#38). ;-D

[Judith Anne]

I've been toast for years with the wackos from other forums - I don't even bother worrying about it anymore.

Maybe they think you're me...Don't tell them....;-D

[Judith Anne]

Try as I might, I can't follow it either--so you're not alone.

Post 38 on this thread was helpful to me...
