Tonight on NBCs evening news, after the gleeful reporting of the 2,000th combat death in Iraq, giving only passing mention to the fact that 79% of the voters in Iraq approved of the Iraqi Constitution and Bill of Rights, describing later that the people are still "divided", NBC went on to their continuing biased coverage of Plame-gate, There was either a deliberate lie, or a blatant example of lazy ineptness on behalf of the script David Gregory was reading. The comment was to the effect of "…regarding the phone conversations of Karl Rove, and whether or not he "outed" Valerie Plame last year, who at the time was a covert agent with the CIA". That is a blatant lie when compared to the facts. Valerie Plame had not been a covert agent with the CIA since 1998, seven years ago now, over five years before her name was supposedly "leaked". The Intelligence Protection Act only criminalizes the release of the name of someone who had been covert agent within the past three years.
They also implied that it was the Bush administration who sent Joe Wilson to Niger, despite the fact it has been made clear that NO ONE in the Bush administration knew or sent Joe Wilson, a known liberal democrat, close friend to socialist democrat Senator Charles Schumer, and contributor to John Kerry and other democrats, which the NBC reporting completely failed, as usual, to report. Which begs the question, why would anyone from a Bush administration send a known liberal hack on such an important mission, especially when nothing in his education or experience would make him even remotely qualified for such a "mission". If anyone should be indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice, it should be Joe Wilson, who claimed to have debunked forged government documents while he was in Niger, even though the documents in question were dated and didn’t surface until months AFTER his trip to Niger.
So this much is very clear, and has been for months. NBC and David Gregory are either bold faced blatant liberal biased liars, or they are so inept and incompetent that they are no where qualified or trustworthy to report the news. This also demonstrates just how stupid the liberal mainstream media believes the American people to be, that they can report in plain English such a boldfaced lie as though it was fact, assuming there would be no price to pay for it. And they can’t figure out why their democrat political friends lose elections every two years. LYING!!! After the supposed "reporting" I heard, there is even more reason not to trust or believe a single word uttered on NBC evening news, or the other networks for that matter, since they’re all three nothing but troglodyte sycophants that parrot each other always using the same language, and the same spin to reach the same reality disconnected conclusions. One would be better off and would learn far more by throwing a gallon of paint on the wall to see if any of life’s mysteries made themselves evident in the splotches, than one would EVER get from any of these evening news shows. They are no longer broadcasts, since most of what they report is fiction, not fact.
"bold faced blatant liberal biased liars" well, duh.
Every time someone asks about the "2000" dead in Iraq, or whatever, I harshly rebuke them for ignoring the sacrifice of those who died in Afghanistan.
You're just perceiving this? They are and always have been.
NBC does the news still??.....Is Chet Huntley still the anchor??...he must be getting old by now....????
They most certainly ARE broadcasts. But what most people don't know is that the word "broadcast" was not invented specially for radio and TV. It was originally an agrarian term, and it denoted a method of applying fertilizer to a field. The reader may guess exactly what sort of fertilizer was used, and may also infer that "broadcast" has never wandered far from its original meaning, whatever the context.
Unlike Whitewater, Monica, Vince Foster, cattle futures buying, missing Rose law firm records, FBI files, White House drug parties, oral sex, lying under oath, rape, sexual molestations, elaborate road trips, cash for pardons, White House vandalism and thefts, Ron Brown, White House connections to Colombian drug lords, Tyson Foods and retalitory-political tax audits, the MSM thinks it's finally found A REAL SCANDAL!
LOL
Honestly, I think it is a combination of the two. Rather's Memogate reporting showed each side of that coin.
As far as Plame not being covert, I think the media understand that fact, but do not consider it important. What is important is to drill into the public psyche --"Revealed ID of Secret Agent--Wife of political critic--So Corrupt, will stop at Nothing". Anything outside that template is omitted. No need to confuse the public. Stay on message.

You've known that a long time now. They covered for the last Administration, and they attack this one. Nothing new. Without resorting to hyperbole or even slight exaggeration -- There is no reason to pay the slightest attention to anything they say--other than as a case study in opposition tactics. Period.
Mr. Beth Wilkinson. Quelle suprise.
GE...we bring liberal bias to life!
Don't even turn these things on. It is the same story every night.
My vote is for lying scumbag.
The little weasel is a putz. You just look at this moron and you realize our gene pool has been corrupted. Someone, someday, is going to run in to this little MF'er in a dark alley, and Davey-boy is going to have a sudden and immediate epiphany!
Could you be talking about guano being cast broadly? Precisely! Good post.
>>>NBC and David Gregory are either bold faced blatant liberal biased liars<<<
David Gregory is a pathological liar.
"Stupid" should also be one the choices.
Just two choices? Well, I submit that there might be a number of other possibilities. They could be liars, lazy, incompetent, misinformed, uninformed, unqualified, or partisan political hacks, or any and every combination thereof. Bottom line .... nobody I know trusts the MSM. Enough said.
I'm shocked. And deeply saddened.
Oh no, I haven't used any of the evening news shows for news in many years. This is just one of the most blatantly told lies I've seen when I happened to have it on. They usually try to have SOME truth when they say things, but this about plame was 100% lies and there's no way they don't know that. It's obscene. I guess they want to give CBS news some company in 5th place ratings behind 5+ year old reruns of the Simpsons. I'm not surprised they're doing it, it just really annoys me. Though I don't think any conservatives really watch them for their news anyway. It's no wonder the liberal masses are so ignorant. They base their opinions on news tha tis 60% lies, 30% opinion and 10% truth, given with smoke and mirrors and only when necessary.
