Carl Click and KATU-TV Win the Baghdad Bob Award for Bad Journalism
Oregon Magazine ^ | March 20, 2006 | Larry Leonard

After the segment about the Sunday anti-war march in Portland, we were treated to the sight of the woman in the helicopter in Iraq, some time before a grenade blew her legs off. She is an Iraq war vet. She is running for office in Illinois or Indiana. I didn't catch which. We'll say it's Illinois. She says one can be loyal to the veteran and still criticize the war. This statement, like "culture of corruption," is one of the many, many talking point propaganda lines we have heard from Democrats and their dullard friends in the old media.

The "journalist" interviewing her mentioned that her war record would probably be challenged during the campaign. That sort of thing happens these days.

This is about old wounds.....[more]

I do find it interesting that a KATU reporter (don't remember her name) has questioned our idiotic governor about why he doesn't show up for debates and his response to SEIU supporting his dem opponent. I think the only reason why they are after him is that the governor is such a complete moron that even the dems can't wait to get rid of him.

I love the last paragraph --- parts of it need "lifting."
Thanks for the ping!

You are very welcome, onyx! I particularly liked these lines from the article....

One doesn't Gore liberal oxes

Noble persons, to the "journalists" at KATU-TV, are peope who vote for the same people they support. That is, liberals.

Ain't it the truth, for all the lib/lefties!

I like that too, but it is the last paragraph that keeps my chuckling. It is so good and sarcastic. Love it.

I've placemarked it for theft -- a switched word here and there and I'll look brilliant!
