This witch confuses "journalism" with "agenda" --- hers.

According to Banfield, U.S. broadcasters don't accurately inform the American public of the basic reason behind widespread Islamic distrust of the U.S. -- the American government's continued unwillingness to treat Israelis and Palestinians as equal partners in the future of Israel.

LOL, is that really is that what the Arabs want. Seems to me the Arabs have been hell bent to push the Jews into the sea from day 1.

[T'wit]

This is the third article I've looked at tonight so stupid, trite, hackneyed, biased and insufferable that it had to be written by a liberal with at least 12 years of dumbing down in public schools, maybe even sixteen years.

[Imperialist]

Was not she the one reporting from West St. in downton NYC on 9/11 at around 5pm that day when 7 wtc collapsed just behind her. We all saw that, and she was scared. We Americans knew what we were looking at during Iraqi Freedom.

Poor, stupid Ashleigh. Palestinians (that is, Arabs--and a few non-Jewish folks) who are citizens of Israel are equal partners with other Israelis in the future of Israel. They have political representation in a way denied to other Arabs in the Arab nations of the Middle East. As Muslims in Israel, they have political representation in a way denied to other Muslims in almost every Muslim nation on earth. However, the non-Israeli Arabs that have been used by the surrounding Arab nations as pawns for the past 50+ years don't have equal partnership with Jewish, Arab, Muslim, and Christian Israelis over the future of Israel because they're not Israelis! They may, though, have a claim on the major Palestinian nation, Jordan, which never helped them.

"As a journalist, I have been ostracized just from going on television and saying, 'Here's what the leaders of Hezbollah, a radical Muslim group, are telling me about what is needed to bring peace to Israel,' " she said.

That's because when Hezbollah tells "what is needed to bring peace to Israel," what they mean is "this is what will have to happen before we cease supporting and financing wanton slaughter of Israeli civilians."

Most journalists realize this. Only those who will value access to them over the truth of their statements don't.

Michael Savage had a really cool nickname for Banfield. Anyone remember what it was?

[dwilli]

An audience of about 500 attended Banfield's lecture, the last event in this season's Landon Lecture series. ...............That's more than those who watched her on MSNBC.

[doosee]

There were horrors that were completely left out of this war.

Lets see, Saddam's humidor was running low on Cuban cigars, she would rate that one up there higher than the kiddie prison we liberated.

[Alas Babylon!]

But it wasn't journalism, because I'm not sure Americans are hesitant to do this again -- to fight another war, because it looked to them like a courageous and terrific endeavor."

Because it WAS a courageous and terrific endeavor, you leftist twit! How I hate big media.

[mewzilla]

In addition to her duties at NBC, Banfield also hosts the popular MSNBC cable TV news show, "MSNBC Investigates."

LOL. Popular according to whom? I'd never even heard of it.

"We didn't see what happen when Marines fired M-16s,"

We already know happened. Iraqi soldiers and terrorists were killed.

[GATOR NAVY]

"We didn't see what happen when Marines fired M-16s," Banfield said during a Landon lecture appearance Thursday at Kansas State University. "We didn't see what happened after mortars landed, only the puff of smoke. There were horrors that were completely left out of this war. So was this journalism? Or was this coverage?"

Well, I guess if she was was really dedicated she could have volunteered to be on the receiving end. Oh wait-that would have dangerous?

[Carolina]

The article doesn't mention how she was received by the audience.

[Benrand]

Another honest, unbiased, earnest Canadian.

is there anyway to physically separate the US from Canada? I got a chainsaw, I'm gonna go get started in Windsor, right near a cigar store with a huge picture of brother Fidel in the window. They loooove Cuba over there.

[TomHarkinIsNotFromIowa]

Well we'll strap a camera to your keister and when we fire off a round you run up for the explosion.

[Bryan24]

Well, Ms. Banfield, I remember seeing dead Iraqi soldiers lying on the ground. I assume this was from the bullets fired from that M-16.

Question for you Ms. Banfield: Did you KNOW that when a soldier fires an M-16, the bullet will kill Iraqi soldiers?

[shhrubbery!]

"We didn't see what happen when Marines fired M-16s... We didn't see what happened after mortars landed, only the puff of smoke. There were horrors that were completely left out of this war. So was this journalism? Or was this coverage?"

There's no TV "coverage" of what happens during abortions on TV, either.

But I doubt Ms. Banfield protests the "horrors that were completely left out" in "journalistic" discussions of abortion.

[montag813]

What a twit. CANDAIAN--that figures. Sounds like she would be right at home at Al Jazeera.

[jonalvy44]

Ashleigh Banfield is so freakin hot!!
