Reporters need lessons in Patriotism.

[Parley Baer]

They also need a lesson in the truth.

Dear reporterette:

Criticize the President all you want, but quit pulling for the enemy and against our Troops!/Rant off

[roses of sharon]

She is a liar.

[NonValueAdded]

They’d have to pressure me NOT to be patriotic and it wouldn’t work, not even if they used waterboarding.

[digger48]

Actually, she's probably right. It was the corporate executives of the media calling these shots, NOT the White House. They were playing for the $$$'s. Period.

[rdl6989]

Liars at CNN? I’m stuned /sarc

[roses of sharon]

Her bio says she is a women's study major, lol, what does she know?

Besides, I have NEVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, seen a positive story about President Bush, ever.

She is a liar.

[SmithL]

Have you seen this?

[The_Republican]

[abb]

Yes. Thx for the ping.

[csmusaret]

Patriotism has been largely replaced in this country by partisanship.

[Izzy Dunne]

Because, as we all know, PMSNBC is just a propaganda vehicle for the White House.

Yeah, right.

[PLMerite]

Notice how it didn’t mention just wanting to report the facts.

She’s mad because she supposedly wasn’t allowed to report her particular spin.

[rabidralph]

What is she, about 3-ft 5?

[wastedyears]

Short is good

[Charles Martel]

3-ft 5

That'd be... just about right.

[islander-11]

CNN reporters pressured to be patriotic -

I see that they were able to resist...

[popdonnelly]

Yeah, they need to be “pressured” in order to feel patriotism.
