The MSM will never report good news coming out of IRAQ, until the day we leave and THEN it will recap the HORRIBLE losses we have suffered and the diminished world opinion of us, nothing about 50 million people being freed and democracy inbedded in the Middle East.
By the way this month so far we have had ONLY 13 KIA's. By any standard of warfare an unbelievable number.
God Bless our Troops!!!
You're right. I heard that as well.
Looks like they clearly understood that these Sunday shows are nothing but gotcha shows. Unless they want to give some NEWS, they don't want to send anyone. Infact, they do send Dam Bartlett & others on weekday shows.
Instead of constantly defending what the press throws at them, ignoring seems to work well. Look at the circulation of newspapers & magazines. 20% down in the last 4 years. It 's likely to go down another 20% the remaining period. I think it 's great that MSM's credibility at it's lowest now.
He didn't choose the name "Non-Sequitur" for nothing....his statements prove it....
Classic Clintonian politics. Remember the 1992 promise of a "Middle Class Tax cut"? Repeat the rhetoric of the Right while actually doing NOTHING to implements any solutions. Watch for Hillary to a lot of this, probably on Immigration and spending, while being very careful to actually DO nothing. Unfortunately for Hillary, she is a Senator, so the obvious response by her foes is "And just what legislation have your offered on this Ms Clinton?"
Thanks for the heads up Ernest.
The way it looks now Key West might get a bit more of it than us, I may invite my daughter up here.
Thank GOD I missed her- was she on today? I thought she'd retired. She's a bitter and spiteful woman. But- if I were married to Al Hunt..I might be a tad shrill as well.
You are typing on or in America's "Free Press". It's called the New Media and we are all part of it.
Not sure that I believe it......he probably uttered a qualifier in Russian that the translator failed to mention!
Is that Karen Hughes on the left (leaning over the table and with a TV screen of the twin towers burning in the far background)?
Prayers for you and your family
I guess he can claim being misquoted. Of course, he's the Russian equivalent of a Democrat so anything's possible.

(FOX reporting exit polls have the conservative candidate defeating Schroder (sp) in German elections)
Gen. Honore for Gov of Lousiana? God that would be fun to watch!
1999 Hurricane Swamped Clinton's FEMA

"It seemed there was preparation for Hurricane Floyd, but then came Flood Floyd," Jackson began. "Bridges are overwhelmed, levees are overwhelmed, whole town's under water . . . [it's] an awesome scene of tragedy. So there's a great misery index in North Carolina."
Witt explained that the storm's devastation was unparalleled, prompting Jackson to ask what was being done for the thousands of families left homeless by Floyd.
Though nearly a month had passed since the storm first hit, Witt said his agency was just beginning to address the problem.
"We're starting to move the camper trailers in," he explained. "It's been so wet it's been difficult to get things in there, but now it's going to be moving very quickly. And I think you're going to see a -- I think the people there will see a big difference over within this next weekend."
The Clinton FEMA Director came in for more criticism during another CNN interview - this time for failing to do a better job with Hurricane Floyd evacuation efforts.
"I hate to do this to you so early in the morning," host Carol Lin began apologetically.
"But I want to show you some video of Hurricane Floyd. This was the evacuation scene out of Florida last year. And you can recall, some three-million people in three different states were hitting the highways, jammed back-to-back trying to get away from the danger. And much of the local as well as the federal government was criticized for this backup. What is being done this year to prevent something like this from happening again, keeping people out of harm's way?"
Witt explained that evacuation problems were to be expected under such dire conditions. "It was very unusual when you had multiple states all evacuating at the same time," he told CNN. "It was the first time that that has happened that way and it did clog the highways."
