Did we ever find out who the bimbo reporterette was who asked whether it would have been more serious if he had died?

If there is an agreement that the media is told every little thing that happens, then it's a stupid agreement.

Let them feret out their own facts.

Isn't that what reporters do?

The press is more worked up about this shooting accident than they ever were about the 90+ people who were killed at Waco.

Even when they are told every little thing, they pick and choose what they want to report. Everything they report or do not report is driven by their liberal agenda.

That's just because they were religous nuts. They're disposable. Don't forget, They guy Cheney shot was a LAWYER, the MSM's best friends.........

I am quite curious about the news ratings during this week. The reporting has been so disgustingly over the top, that I am even turning off the radio news.

Yet, but that was a non-Muslim religious group. It's okay to roast them.

If the White House REALLY had some balls, they would start yanking press credentials (starting with that little snot Gregory with NBC) and declare these delinquents persona non grata, send them packing, and inform their paymasters that their replacements will be expected to behave and to show respect, or they too will be on the outside looking in.

And to make sure everyone knows they mean business, physically take Helen Thomas' press credentials from her at her next appearance, tell her she's no longer permitted on White House property, and let security escort her stinky troll-ass out to the sidewalk.

Then McClellan looks around the room and says (just like the principal of an inner city school) "anybody else want to join her?"

Of course McClellan will have to scarf down a few dozen bowls of Wheaties before he executes that play.

the BIG question is WHY didnt VP Cheney call Gregory of nbc to tell him @ the hunting accident RIGHT AWAY!
after all the elite OLD LIBERAL MEDIA thinks they are the FOURTH BRANCH OF GOVT!( and of course this wouldnt have anything to do with deflecting the traitorous comments of HEAD MOONBAT ali gore in the middle east-lol)

Janet Reno "took responsibility," after which it was old news, let's move on. I would like to see a single example of an attack dog press briefing during the time of Ex42.

When Brit Hume asked a follow-up of a probing question (sometehing about flip-flopping on the appointment of Ruth Bader Ginsberg) he lost his White House press credentials and then his network job. I never remember a single other example of a follow-up to a non-answer.

The entire MSM press corps questioned like defense attorneys with Clinton. Now they act the prosecutors.

"Exactly how egomaniacal are you people?"

A very large number comes to mind. Or could it be infinity?

The article is spot-on.

However, I have to take slght exception on one point.

Which would be this strange use of a series of one-sentence "paragraphs".

I mean, it's a really annoying practice and distracts from the article.

Don't you think so, too?

I'll bet David Gregory doesn't know whose song that is.

Exactly how egomaniacal are you [journalists]?

The question is spurred by your conduct the other day over this Dick Cheney matter. The vice president was involved in a hunting accident and all of a sudden it wasn’t about him or what happened, it was how you weren’t notified.

Like the world revolves around you.

And you started acting like idiots. Juvenile, arrogant, antagonistic idiots.

> Journalists argue from the assumption that they are more objective than other people - an inherently arrogant presumption, belied by the fact that their deadlines place them squarely in the superficial entertainment industry.

Why Broadcast Journalism is
Unnecessary and Illegitimate

The incident was reported promptly to the authorities.

There was no alcohol involved.

Why hasn't the MSM reported this?

This is a good replay. And these folks are an utter embarrassment to any citizen of the United States who has half a brain.
