I purposely chose a wide a variey of news sources, from highly biased on each side, to rumor, to foreign -- then I made up my own mind based on as much information as I could get...
Thus giving yourself an advantage over people that chose their media sources according to their bias. I've been doing that since 1990. Now I can easily identify irrelevant drivel. On important issues I pay more attention to the drivel as I can get a big picture of how people are being duped and manipulated. See post 40.

For me...Morris...swerves into the truth often enough to be listenable. ( Is that a word..? ha!! )

Bottom line - they lied then and they lied this time. This time they got caught.

On morning TV, the cable show Fox and Friends actually drew 2.9 million viewers, more than CBS' 2.8 million on its Early Show - the first time a cable news station has beaten a network news program in ratings (but not the last). This is BIG news. And GREAT news!

You know, that was a HUGE risk for this administration to place embeds with the military. Think how easily it could've turned disastrous if just one bad incident was shown while all the world was watching (think Somalia). But it has turned out masterfully. GWB and Torie Clark are geniuses. This one act may have done more to crumble the 'elite media' than any book anyone could write.
JMHO, of course.

Whether you like him or his politics or not, you gotta admit Dick Morris is one smart b*stard. He is spot on on this. We dont need blow dried baffoons telling us what we just saw and spinning what it should mean.

Kemp would have beat Clinton but it was Dole's turn, it cost the GOP and the country dearly.

he forgot to mention Atlanta (CNN) They need special mention. Lying about Saddam's regime in order to retain their Baghdad offices, and that nice hug and kiss "Richard" got saying goodbye to the Iraqi U.N. ambassador -- truly special mention is deserved.

ONE byproduct of war is often a major change in media and news reporting. In the Civil War, photography was born. In World War II, Edward R. Murrow brought radio into its own
Hey, Dickie, you skipped WWI. The use of media propaganda was invented for the purpose of swaying the US into joining the fight against the Hun. The success that followed laid the groundwork for mass media advertising that defined and reinforced the 1920s, and you know what a massive part of communications advertising is today, not to mention the modern use of slant and spin to customize the news for the use of leftist persuasion. Pull up your socks, Morris.

You missed some fine footage from the embeds and interviews of our troops.Cable of course.
I realize that I am commenting a day later.
I agree with you.
The embedded reporters were important to me personally. I look forward to what my son may have to say about Walter Rodgers of CNN with whom he was associated with during the drive to Baghdad!.
