Yes, Scully had a pretty lame excuse about the lack of coverage of the trip......something about the cost, etc. Then why not get some guests in to discuss the trip and its ramifications? The Pakistani woman-scholar that they had on mentioned the trip in passing, but was basically touting Pakistans friendship with the US and the strategic importance of Pakistan (ie. how much we need them). Considering that the majority of the Pakistani population hates our guts, protests our policies at the drop of a hat, is biggoted towards Christians and kills them, won't let our CIA interview Kahn (nuclear weapons proliferator) and actually harbors and helps al-Qaeda, I don't have much use for this rat-hole of a country.
Our media minimize every effort of the President, and then write articles commenting that he is doing nothing. Last week Dick Morris said that President Bush is lazy!!!
People in Baltimore who believe that they are informed by reading the SUN, would not even know that the President was abroad last week, unless they read all the way to the "world" page near the back of the paper, where there was one photo of him with a cricket bat.
I wonder what 'average' Americans would think if they saw the fabulout photo of the presidential limousine being escorted in India by a mounted guard of honour (British spelling!) It was breathtaking in its majesty. The demmedia would die before they would share that image with their readers.
