Brilliant nuggets again Anita great job!

AJ Strata is a brilliant guy,one of Rush’s favs if I am not mistaken. He points out how GW always out foxes the dems and always will. He will sew up ties between our two countries, Iraq and the U.S., before the elections, insure victory and make the rats look so dumb the msm will not be able to ignore it all.
And of course there is no hope for the AP they are simply part of the problem.
.......................................................
Great show just ending on ESPN 2 about how GW protects the striper fishery(he just signed legislation protecting several fisheries) while he fishes with young anglers,tv people, the Fischers,aboard their yacht just getting ready to sail around the world promoting sport fishing and diving. Doesn’t get much better.

****** CNN Arrogance! ‘Crime Stories’ Promo With Picture of Sen. Mitch McConnell.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2008/01/08/cnn-crime-stories-promo-includes-picture-sen-mitch-mcconnell

On Monday, the “most trusted name in news” ran an advertisement for its Headline News program “Nancy Grace” dealing with “incredible crime stories” this fall.

In the fast-moving montage, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Kent.) picture was spliced in between what appears to be convicted dog abuser Michael Vick and missing Bolingbrook, Illinois, resident Stacy Peterson. A picture of her husband Drew, who is implicated in her disappearance, followed, with a final shot of OJ Simpson.


Update 15:00. NewsBusters has been informed that after a number of CNN producers were sent our article on this subject, a senior CNN official contacted McConnell’s office to apologize for the incident.

Apparently, the ad is being immediately pulled, and a full internal investigation is being launched concerning the matter.

NewsBusters appreciates this decision by CNN, and is very interested in the outcome of said investigation.

#####

For people keeping track, add this event to the list of CNN hit jobs on Republican officials.

'****** McGraw-Hill (liberal BusinessWeek parent) slashes 611 Jobs '

Wow! Thanks for that one! I used to work for Glencoe - the secondary textbook division. As a staff person, then as a retired person, I have been on the list to receive BW free - for about 8 years. I understand they do that to make their numbers higher for advertisers. I trash it - wayyyyyyy to lib for me!

Great nuggets anita. Thanks for making my day! I love this part

In the current national poll, just 19.6% of those surveyed could say they believe all or most news media reporting.

Paging Dan RaTHer and the perky one. Death of the old media alert!!

Thanks again, Anita! Thank goodness that we have an online record of the factually incorrect—and just plain DUMB—things that the MSM prints. I hope that “journalism” schools face declining enrollments, as young college grads ALSO see how rotten the MSM is.
