The three broadcast networks all did segments this evening on the former 9/11 commission’s report card released today. Though all three focused on the negatives, only the "CBS Evening News” ignored the good grades given by the commission, while also failing to mention that a key problem highlighted in this report is already being addressed by legislation pending in Congress (video link to follow).

Bob Orr quickly gave a rundown of the “F’s” and the “D’s” given by former commission members for the government achieving a set of priorities they deemed necessary to avert another terrorist attack. However, as can be seen in the full report card, Orr chose not to mention any of the 12 “B’s” given by the commission, or the “A-” obtained for “Terrorist Financing.” Orr also reported:

As usual, the libs of the MSM, show their heavy investment in the failure of America, and their gross negativism. I don't think these socialist morons can get any lower.

Please tell me no one here is gullible enough to think that the 9/11 commission's recommendations are designed to do anything but cover the butts of guilty commission members and allies thereof.

Ya, I said that repeatedly, myself, until I realized that yes, they can in fact go lower, even if one can't yet imagine how. Faith in that principle is never misplaced.

Just in case no one has been paying much attention, there is no 9/11 Commission anymore. Their official duties expired with the delivery of their final report. However, several of them chose to keep the fiction going that they are still a "commission" so they could hang onto the limelight (and probably justify the big think-tank bucks they are raking in).

They also ignore the fact that Gorelick gets the credit for the Fs.

Though all three focused on the negatives

The same media outlets that have consistently accentuated the negative during the Bush years, all the while engaged in a journalistic jihad to bring down the President, would eagerly slant, spin and distort the "news" and happily run cover for a Dem adminstration.
