The MSM always win.

If they have Newt on, he can call them liars to their faces! I have the transcript of Newts lecture, and I have it recorded. LSM lies!!!!!!!!!!

LLS

No they don't...

"He argued that in Iraq we should have ....."

What he addressed is THE PAST. Whatever happened, there is no going back. He accomplished nothing positive by what he said. He is experienced enough to know that would happen. He undermined the President and our troops for his own selfish political reasons. He's off my list as of today.

[Ron in Acreage]

I saw his appearance. He told Matt he did not say what was reported in that context. He straightened it out with his own words, not some half-ass lazy reporters.

[Ron in Acreage]

It was out of context as usual.

[soloNYer]

I believe that Newt is out there calling the original article that highlighted his "enormous mistake" statements as way out of context, and a blatant example of media misreporting.

I don't think the Today show heard this (Hey we got Newt bashing the Iraq War and Bush...Book Him!), and are probably disappointed in his comments. Newt probably knew he was booked on Today for more bashing, but it's the only way to get on the show.

Actually, this could be a great way to get past the liberal producers of every single mainstream media news show. Make statements that can be taken out of context to slime Bush or Republicans, then get on and say whatever the hell you want.

The MSM always win.

They won't win this. They have been misreporting Iraq from the beginning and it's about to catch up with them.

Things have improved in Iraq so enormously over the last year or so and continue doing so, but the MSM blatantly ignores that.

It won't be long until the progress being made here becomes too evident for them to conceal and I think it's all going to backfire on them.

And I CAN'T WAIT.

[W04Man]

Matt trying to prove his is "Katie-like"!

GO FIGURE

[beyond the sea]

Newt Gingrich (although he is one of the more intelligent folks in government) is kidding himself if he thinks he will ever be President. He's a nice enough guy, he should start up his own university and stick to that.

Most Americans don't "get" Newt. And how sick is this society ....... just his name "Newt" turns off a great number of ignorant voters.

Silly country.

[roses of sharon]

With respect, they, (the MSM,Hollywood,Academia), control the US, and have for 40 years.

[G Larry]

Saw Newt on Hanity & Colmes last night.

As you might expect, Newt DID NOT say what the headlines would have us believe.

[TomGuy]

kid-glove treatment

The MSM seems to have turned against McCain, so they need a new golden boy. Maybe they've selected Newt, since he has been espousing 'beg me to, and I will run for the Presidency'.

[roses of sharon]

Add another Conservative to the "battered wife syndrome" list of those who have lost heart, and their will.

[AmericaUnite]

I heard Newt on Sean's radio program. Blaming President Bush wasn't part of the his shtick then. He's smart but not presidential. His voice is too high as well.

[Mo1]

Sounds like Newit is trying to play both sides of the fence

[roses of sharon]

He should have sand-bagged them with his great speeches and writings on State Dept anti-Americanism and duplicity.

Remember when he causes an "uproar" a few years ago with his critique of the State Dept?

He could have worked to be invited and used his rhetorical skills to let them have it. He could have at least called them out on their despicable treatment and lies about this war and this President.

As Laura Ingram did a few weeks ago, she immediately went on offense against these bastards.

[roses of sharon]

All we hear in the US is the MSM/DNC Generals telling us our guys are dying for nothing, and Saddam and Son's were innocent because the President lied to go to war.

This is what Americans believe.

They have won, and we have lost.

All that is left is revenge, I want them destroyed personally, professionally, and financially.
