I have a question. Admittedly, the numbers of American voters that are watching these news shows on the DBM are made up of people who have at least a smidgen of intelligence. The numbers are made up of (a) liberal diehards; (b) conservative diehards; (c) those who can be swayed one way or the other; (d) those who don't really give a darn; (e) add your own classification.
My question is, given that the viewers have that smidgen of intelligence, isn't it possible, even probable, that a portion of these viewers will finally come to the conclusion, especially given the blatant reaction to the past week, that these broadcasts are pure propaganda, and discount them altogether? I believe that is what is happening, given the declining ratings for the DBM.
At least, I see reason for hope.
Tony is media wise....he just told Wolfie the point he was starting to make before the snafu. LOL
Hard to imagine a commentator with more hatred seething inside than Matthews and his counterpart Jack Cafferty.
#158, I would call that a lack of breeding, just watched Daddy and emulates his nonsense.
That was a good one. But there are so many to choose from.
Snugs could fill a whole page with them.
The most positive thing Graham could bring himself to say was that we were now stuck in Iraq and had no other choice but to win. What a maroon.
That is about the best photo I have seen of that

As you can see, we have had an amazinging low casualty rate, which is a testament to the planning, the professionalism and the SUCCESS this war has been.
I heard that, what an idiot.
Just like Brokaw. I'm astonished no one's pointed this out, not even the blogs.
Listen to any Russert interview and you'll hear him talking about how "these dads went to war, came back and worked TWO jobs to put their kids through college". That's almost word-for-word the way Brokaw's interviews defined "The Greatest Generation". And then Brokaw followed up with a 2nd book of the letters he received after his first book.
Timmy's a copycat.
Not only are networks experiencing low ratings, but print media too. Exceptions: FNC and Washington Times.
Re Fox News Sunday, what a waste of time! Instead of Wallace asking Snow why troops in Iraq are having to spend a $1,000 of their own money for better helmets and armament; Chris Wallace has a kissy face with a Snow on his picture with a helmet.
And finally, why didn't Wallace ask Snow why Bush has my fellow Marines incarcerated WITHOUT BEING CHARGED at the Camp Pendleton Brig!

Yes. I decided to submit to a poll a few months ago.
The people who call have no input and no discretion. They have the questions. You have to answer the questions as put.
Many times the questions are loaded and make no sense and provide no way for you to give a reasonable alternative.
Polls can be so easily manipulated. Then they are printed, become gospel and are taken as such.
The only real polls are on election days.
Those pictures intended to show a virile man but instead showed an efete elite.
He said recruitments were down and retention was down.
DoD Announces Recruiting and Retention Number for May
All Services exceeded their recruiting goals in May
All Services exceeded their "Year-to-Date" recruiting goals through May.
The Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps continue to enjoy excellent reenlistment rates, meeting or exceeding all objectives.
3000 9/11 dead in less than an hour.
You'll be happy to know that MSNBC cancels Weekends with Maury & Connie
Agreed....Mathews weekend show is not to be missed. Deeeelightful Delusion.
