Notice that the headline about 'soundbite lies' is not substantiated in Osgood's piece.
I heard Osgood on the radio this morning and almost drove off the road at the comments by another cBS reporter that was giving 'analysis' on today's version of the Osgood file-- which I'll post as soon as it's available.
I also didn't know that McCurry was on the cBS payroll, but it makes sense.
So... I guess they didn't have room for Ari Fleischer or Scott McClellan?
Bow-tied buggery...
I have never once heard anyone say "Did you see/hear that piece by Osgood?" He must know this. He is a placeholder, a nothing in the world of punditry, and his "thoughts" are forgotten seconds after he's said them. He is a DNC spear carrier and no one cares one bit what he says.
I guess "soundbite lies" are MSM speak for "He has the comment on tape, but that's not what Kerry REALLy said."
I have a challenge for you, Mr. Osgood, or any other leftist out there. You show me one single quote from anyone on this planet defending Kerry for his comments in Pasadena BEFORE Kerry gave his statement the afternoon of the 31st. If it was so obvious that Kerry was speaking of President Bush, then why was no one able to figure this out until Kerry offered his explanation the following day?
The truth of the matter is that not one single person came to his defense until AFTER it was explained to them by Kerry that he was talking about the President. No one (and that includes DU).
Osgood comes on at 2 p.m, here in the Philly area, during Rushs' show. What a lefty this clown is. Thankfully he is only on for a minute or two.
Last I heard, President Bush is stuck in Washington DC, not Iraq. Kerry looks funny, but he can't tell a joke.
"Soundbite lies", eh?
As I recall, John Kerry uttered that soundbite. We did not "misinterpret" his statements, they stand clearly on their own, and we all know what he meant to say. After all, he has been saying it since 1971.
CBS has been carrying water for the Dems for months now.
Osgood makes the point, and a reasonable one (albeit a point made by many others), that neither George Bush nor Jon Carry are running for office this year. Which ought to make Osgood and others wonder why Carry would be making purported criticisms of Bush. What is the relevance? The stated topic by Carry was the importance of education. Whether he "botched a joke" or not, this is far from the first time he has denigrated the military. His 1971 statements to Congress are a matter of record, as are his fairly recent comments about US soldiers "terrorizing kids, children, you know, and women in the dead of night..."
One gaffe is always possible, but this is a trend of Mr. Carry...
We all know what Kerry said, we heard it a hundred times already. The only people who actually truly know what he meant to say is John Kerry. And Karl Rove.
Kerry didn't blow any joke or misread his prepared statements. He departed from the text and was improvising, thinking he could get away it. He couldn't resist the condescending, sarcastic jab at people in uniform. When Kerry's handlers realized by Wednesday that the public uproar wasn't going away they rewrote his speech, inserted a new version of the "joke", and distributed it as the original "prepared remarks." This gave the Associated Press, the Washington Post, and partisan radio hacks like Osgood the "evidence" to defend Kerry.
Try decades. It started wit Dan Rather questioning President Nixon at a press conference.
Oh, I know that, but I'm talking specifically of this election. My only exposure to CBS is their top-of-the-hour radio news, and they've been amazingly blatant in their slant. They've really stepped it up over the past few months.
"I guess I will just have to take you're word for it..number 2."
Thats what I thought when Kerry started explaining himself and the media chimed in to explain what he meant.
"I guess we'll just have to take your word for it..number 2"
And President Bush pretending that Kerry wasn't referring to HIM. {Osgood}
How could that possibly made any sense IF he was referring to the president?
If Kerry meant the President, he have been telling those college students:
"If you don't study hard, don't do your homework, and don't make an effort to be smart you will not do well. You will become President; get us in a war that liberals {like Kerry} oppose; and then soundly defeat me {Kerry} to be reelected for a 2nd term."
An absurd spin that tells us Libs not only think the troops in Iraq are idiots but that the American public are idiots also.
