The Talk Shows
Sunday, July 16th, 2006
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; Sens. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and George Allen, R-Va.; Philippe Cousteau, president of Earth Echo International.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del.; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich; columnist Robert Novak.

Trent Lott, R-Miss., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Mouwafak al-Rubaie, Iraqi national security adviser; Pakistani Foreign Minister Khursheed Kasuri; space shuttle astronauts.
Well that is because the MSM knows that Joe Biden can plagerize across a huge spectrum of expertise.
Monday, Sean will be defending his a$$ kissing of Senator Lettuce. Any bets on how long into the show it will take?
Chris Wallace needs a name for this thought process, where somebody like Iran tries to divert attention by shooting missiles; I nominate "The Clinton Strategy" as an appropriate title.
If we don't let Iran go nuclear they will go nuclear. Negotiate that Chuck Hagel!
Steyn makes some excellent points revealing a picture of the U.S. calling on "great men" to negotiate "great peace talks" with enemies that never wanted peace to begin with.
Jeez...Novaks mistatements certainly put alot of people in a bad light.....reporters should be more careful.
Mind boggling, isn't it?
Newt is brilliant, but he is not helping right now. If he really wanted to help as opposed to strutting his brilliance he would be offering this stuff directly to the WH without the fanfare.
Image seared. Thanks a lot :)
###### NYTimes photographer - Sleeping With the Enemy, Literally.
###### Terrorist is OK, lobbyist is not. When Jack Abramoff visits WH 6 times, that 's BIG news for MSM. But then, when Yasser Arafat was 13 times at WH, that was not news.
###### Washington Post writer liar Walter Pincus' advice to MSM - "refuse to publish or broadcast any statements made by the President or any other government official". As if people believe MSM for news. (Look next story)
###### Yesterday's wash.post front pager screamed Bush Compromises On Spying Program. Sameday, its' editors DISAGREE with that notion saying, Congress surrendered to the President's powers. One thing 's clear.MSM has no clue on anything nowadays.
###### Viewers desert MSM fast - NBC 590,000 viewers this season, a 6% drop. 590,000 viewers this season, a 6% drop. ABC, has lost about 875,000 viewers this season, a drop of 9.5%.
###### Katie Couric is copying Hillary Cinton's listening tour on her coming to CBS. Matt Hiltzik, her spokesperson worked for Hillary before.
###### A newspaper editor is apologizing for plagiarizing a column from Democratic Policy Committee report. That 's not a joke.
###### FNC DaySide's senior producer - Peter Zorich was dismissed. Mrs. Chris Mathews out from ABC's WJLA TV show. MSNBC chief meteorologist Sean McLaughlin is out. Chris Mathews' sunday show signs up loser Dan Rather as panelist. Mathews want MSNBC to recruit Michael Smerconish (since he agree with him that Iraq-war is mistake.)
###### Abortion actiist Gloria Steinem complains about talk-radio not being friendly to women. Conservative talkers like Laura Ingraham, Meloney Morgan or Monica Crowley prove otherwise.
###### Media's doom & gloom
Financial Times to axe 50 jobs.
Gannett(USA Today publisher) 2Q Earnings Fall 8.3 Percent.
Tribune(LATimes publisher) profit tumbles 62%.
Chicago Tribune cuts 120 jobs.
Vibe magazine laid off 20 employees (More cuts to come.).
There are more troops there than you think now.
Tim is insisting that Plame was undercover and that her friends and neighbors did not know where she worked. Novak point out that she was exposed by Aldrich Ames.
Yes, I am convinced that the Democrats and the media are just contrary and nothing more. One step away from raving lunatics.
Novak: Haven't spoken to primary source since interview.
Russert: You said some time ago that admin. official gave me her name.
Novak: That's a mistatement on my part. He told me it was his wife, not her name. I got the name from Who's Who.
Russert: They told you his wife but no name?
Novak: Yes. They didn't call her a covert operative.
Russert: Harlow, CIA official, says after Novak's call he checked Plame's status and confirmed she was an undercover operative and told Novak and he shouldn't use her name. But Harlow says he didn't (didn't catch it)
Novak: That's not testimony. It's an interview with the WaPo reporters. I still think she wasn't covert and other people in the CIA have told me that.
Russert: But she was under cover.
Novak: She was doing analysis at the CIA, not covert.
Russert: Neighbord didn't know she worked for the CIA.
Novak: Lots of people knew she worked at the CIA. She was outted by traitor Alrich Ames years ago.
Harlow said if she was to go overseas it would be embarrassing for her but it's highly unlikely she'll ever go abroad for the CIA. He never said she wasin danger. If he had called me or put Tenet on the phone and asked me not to run it, I wouldn't have run it.
Russert: Do you regret running the column?
Novak: I'd prefer not to be the center of news, I don't know.
Silly me I trust Rumsfeld knows what is going on. ;0
When President Bush goes unilateral and uses force he's wrong. When he goes multilateral and sets up talks, he's wrong. When he ignores the whining of a dictator he's wrong. When he takes one out he's wrong. Am I right?
You are right. You are right. You are right.
Seems to me that the only time the people of this country can get behind a war is when some socialist democrat is running it. It makes me want to vomit.
Newt has NO chance either. He should fantasize about something else.
