HA! Only a completely clueless media would need someone to explain to them why they're clueless!

JUST amazing!

[IncPen]

COOPER: Kent and Gayle, we appreciate you being on the program tonight. Appreciate you speaking up today. And Kent, appreciate your service. Thank you very much.

Cooper couldn't bring himself to say that he, Cooper, appreciates their effort. Notice he didn't say "I". Presumably he meant some sort of noncommittal 'we', as in someone out there somewhere must appreciate the work of you pro-war kooks.

It reminds me of the sign I saw on a car wash right after 9/11. It said, "Bless America".

Not God Bless America, because that would be personal and involve a committment to something.

Bless you, Cooper.

Its like telling a person after eating limberger cheese that they have bad breath.

[april15Bendovr]

Make that Limburger. Sorry

[daybreakcoming]

Hey - thanks for posting this. I didn't know they were goin to be on CluelessCooper's show. They about had to draw him a picture but I'll bet Sunday dinner he still doesn't get it or wants to. Most likely pressured to have them on his show at all.

As I have heard many, many, many times before; biased coverage is politically motivated. Liberal reporters and editors spin coverage to fit their personal views.

The MSM doesn't realize that the public is on them and is abandoning them in droves for more balanced, analytical sources.

COOPER: How would you -- on any given day, how would you balance? I mean, if there is a bridge being built in one town and a bomb blast in another town, where do you see -- where do you make that balance?

Hey Anderson Vanderbilt, there IS NO BALANCE right now with the LSM like CNN at the crAP. So there.

[smoothsailing]

Anderson Cooper, what kind of a name is that? Sounds like a brand of paint.I've had parental lock on CNN for so long now the name barely registers.

Check out Laura Ingraham on with Bill O'Reilly talking about her appearance on the Today show.

Yes, like Fox news. Why else do you think Dick Cheney wants all his TV's pretuned to them? Why else would they be the #1 cable news net?

Face facts! The MSM is working to elect Democraps. Just like Limbaugh and Savage will work to elect Republicans, or any one but Democraps.

Secret Service wont let him watch the OLN channel

[Jim_Curtis]

The mediacrats know only too well what they are doing.

When Clinton went to war against the Christian Serbs, they actually told their viewers that we wouldn't be watching that war on our TV sets because they were worried that the public would become "war weary". The media were the drum beaters for that war and saw to it that the public was kept in the dark with a message control strategy that would make the North Koreans proud.

Then in Afghanistan, all the media was interested in was setting there cameras up at the hospital to show us babies with body parts blown off and giving us a steady chant of "quagmire".

When the Military comes back from Iraq they don't hate Limbaugh and Savage. The mainstream media deserves an ass kicking for helping Al Qaeda and insurgents with their propaganda campaign.

[april15Bendovr]

Not to many liberals remember Desert Fox.

Selective amnesia

[april15Bendovr]

Liberals have a hard time promoting religion. It gets in the way of their socialist agenda.

Not the same at all. Limbaugh and Savage are commentators presenting opinions. They don't try to pretend to be objective journalists as the MSM does.

You don't understand the contest rules! Limbausgh and Savage help the Republicans. The MSM will help the Democraps with every lie, distortion, untruth, etc., that they can think of and will say they are only doing what Limbaugh and Savage are doing. Ten to 15% of the voters will believe the MSM. Those are the "rules".
