Absolutely .. and I bet if there had been cameras in the board rooms .. we would have seen a lot of “deer in the headlights” looks.
Awesome!!!
And .. if I remember correctly, it was Brit Hume (of Fox News) who gave FreeRepublic.com the full credit for the exposure - by saying, “Let’s give credit where credit’s due”.

Speaking of old times, I miss Hume and Tony Snow on FNSunday. That was a GREAT show if you wanted to learn something.

I’ve often thought that Brit must be a regular lurker on this site. His ‘grapevine’ on Special Report almost always had an item or two I’d already read about here.

Helen Thomas simply longs for the days when reporters and pundits could report spin, lies and opinion as fact and were never held accountable outside of page A-16 retractions.
Thanks Notwithstanding.

They should do carbon dating on Helen Thomas to see how ancient she really is.

Good writing, and that’s something else the old media is missing. To be honest, the new media is very much like the original media of this country....

BEST picture of Helen I’ve seen ... should be used from now on!!!
To: Notwithstanding
Ms. Thomas also seems upset by the fact that a White House she strongly supports no longer looks to the White House press corps to get its message out as this White House uses Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to advise its supporters and friendly pundits. Consider the profound meaning of this statement. The mainstream media actually sees itself as propagandists for the regime. It is their job to spin, tell lies and promote a political agenda.
They are here to do the bidding of their master: President Barack Hussein Obama.
Mmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

To: McGavin999
That is certainly true. And, to be sure, the original media was filled with
polemics (e.g. Coulter)
emotional appeals to truth (e.g. Beck)
strident American exceptionalsim (e.g. Limbaugh and Levin) clever humor (all)
populism (e.g. Hannity and O’Reilly) and
appeals to religious truth (e.g. Ingraham and Beck).
Everything old is new again....

I tell ya, if the dust mites stopped holding hands she’d fall apart.
