Does anyone have a video of that speech? I read it, but I would love to see it.

"Just another example of why they are the Dinosaur Media."

You'll be happy to learn that most of MSM newspapers are struggling to stay afloat. Some have concluced that moving a little more to the center might be more profitable.

What would happen if the President would speak up and say something like, "President Talabani is visiting our country and thanking us for our help. If any of you would like to ask questions about our accomplishments in Iraq we will be glad to answer them, otherwise we will end the newsconference"

Is that an impossibility? I mean I get so frustrated with our press that they need to be knocked down a notch or two!

But how? That's what I mean. If the President would do something like that it might help. The reporters are showing a total disregard for the person who is visiting!

Bear in mind, most, if not all of the MSM are left wing democrats. They could give a hoot less about the progress in Iraq or for that matter, Timbuktu. They look for every little trip wire out there to embarrass President Bush and/or a visiting foreign dignitary.

It's gotten worse. Have you heard, the New York Slimes trade cover stories the night before with the Washington Post, and Boston Globe. Journalistic collusion...Nahhhh!

I blame the MSM and the Rat party for continued deaths of our hero's and the Iraq people. Not a bold statement but the truth.

"What a stupid comment..."

Why is Piquaboy's comment stupid? It is to a significant degree the fault of the leftist public school systems in this country. These lamestream reporters are products of those systems.

We cancelled our subscription to the newspaper several years ago, telling them they were too leftist.

We never ever watch broadcast news or CNN, and less and less of Fox.

Talibani and Bush was a moment of lump-in-the-throat life-the-way-it-oughta-be.

As for Katrina and the coverage by the chickenshitters--simple: Nagin and Blanco were criminally negligent and ought to be doing time for manslaughter--plus a laundry list of RICO charges.

Reality exists totally independent of the crappy yapping pack of "reporters"--the snide, the snotty, the bratty, flatulent goebellsian geese.

Their press conference "questions" should win them a year's supply of loaded Pampers, applied to their faces with a good wrapping of duct tape.

After all, the great and glorious Pulitzer went to the New York Times' Walter Duranty for covering up Stalin's murder of ten million Ukrainians.

The press has no shame and should not be permitted to moon the president and his guest.

Actually I would be happy if they just reported the facts with no rewriting, nor hype and no spin. After watching how AP edited their pieces about the National Guard (a topic I knew something about) to fit the Hurricane response DNC spin lies, I am convinced that they will only evolve if they fire 3/4s of their current staff.

Maybe not. How 'bout we neuter the offending reporters if they are lying or deliberately misleading? The idea of holding some leftists third grade teacher responsible for his misdeeds seems a little stupid.
D'ya have any other "earth-shattering" ideas while yer at it?

"...holding some leftists third grade teacher responsible..."

The 3rd grade teacher is only a small beginning to the problem. And they are not all caught up in the system. However, it is a systemic problem that continues on through the college years, expecially in the curriculums to which the teacher, journalist, political science major, economist, lawyer are exposed. So it is a problem with the educational system.

"So it is a problem with the educational system."
Having declared it so,it became the law of the land.
Wrong. It continues to be a silly notion advanced by those who have latched onto a favorite notion of "How -to-fix-the-World".
Having fallen in love with themselves for being the parent of the ridiculous notion they drift in and out of conciousness rejecting all attempts to revive them from their self-induced trance of supriority over all sub-beings.

My tolerance or lack thereof has nothing to do with any issue at hand. We are asked to stick to the subject of threads not throw in pointless remarks expressing pet peeves. That was the point of my comment. You, of course, ignore all that and try and defend the violation of express wishes of the forum. Then attack ME for expressing displeasure at the initial violation.

No it is not the "result of the leftist public school systems" that the Treason Media lies, distorts and refuses to inform. As I pointed out most of us are products of that same system, almost all of our military is the result of that same system. How did we escape the group think?

The Treason Media is the creation of the New York/Hollywood nexus and has NOTHING to do with the school systems operating throughout the nation. In fact, I would speculate that you will find more private school graduates among the media elite than public.

It was stupid because it distracts attention from the real issue here and attempts to explain it using an explanation which shows nothing but ideological blinders. Why not blame it on FLUORIDATION sapping our vital bodily fluids? That is about as relevant.
