Amazing as it seems, America is over 911. Yes, it took a little more than one year, but it was confirmed Monday night when The President of The United States was to make an announcement on the evidence against Saddam Hussein. This is a country desperately close to going to war against Iraq, and the networks were more interested in making sure their Fall programs were not interrupted.

The networks with cable news affiliates like NBC, or Fox can be excused, but what about ABC and CBS ? This was not news? This was not big news, given the fact no one knows who is behind the “Beltway Sniper”, this was a huge story. Not to the networks.

Some theorize the networks did not want to give George Bush anymore time on the “war story”, they want the Prez to talk economy. You see economy is something liberals feel is where the President is weak. The master plan is to derail a Bush 2nd term. The media is trying to do it’s part.

The lock out, strike on the West Coast also smells. Anything to weaken the economy is a stain on Bush’s record, the unions want to do their part.

Amazing how many elements are putting politics above country.

Please remember the Hollywood elite next time you shop for music CDs or a movie to watch. I will never have a Barbara Streisand CD in my home, no reruns of Lou Grant, and no Alec Baldwin anything. It’s my way of “doing my part” in this battle.

That’s how I see it!
