Peter Jennings slanting the news? Who would have guessed?

[ImpotentRage]

Why am I not surprised?

[trebb]

No surprises here folks - please use the barf bags to keep the sidewalk clean...

[nickcarraway]

At least Walter Duranty had the excuse of being blackmailed.

[mabelkitty]

Why isn't he on CNN and Fox talking about this?

Why isn't he telling the NYT?

"Because I presume that Peter Jennings felt that the Sandinista regime, which was a communist regime - no questions about it - were mere benign agrarian reformers ... [Jennings] was a believer, was and is," Collins explained

Jennings cried when the Nicaraguans got their first chance to vote in a semi-free election.

Despite the communist government's voting fraud, intimidation and control of the media, the Nicaraguans voted so overwhelmingly against the "benign agrarian reformers" that opposition leader Chamorro was elected president.

Jennings and his fellow travelers cried, while Reagan and all freedom-loving people of the world celebrated.

Screw Pete and the horse he rode in on.

Wiat. That's his girlfriend. Scratch that second part.

[eureka!]

"If it were not for for Rush Limbaugh, the Washington Times,and Fox News -- those organizations, entities, have finally managed to break the dam," Collins said."

I would add all talk radio and the 'net....

[Abcdefg]

Bump

Hopefully at least Fox will invite him to be interviewed.

[ClearCase_guy]

Of course I'm happy to see such a confirmation of what we already knew -- but if this guy had gone public when Bernard Goldberg was promoting his book "Bias" (and slamming Dan Rather), then perhaps there would have been a cummulative effect.

This, now, is just a lone voice in the wilderness.

[Steven W.]

there was no internet then & Rush was just starting nationwide syndication.

[IronJack]

Uh oh. Could Collins do to ABC what Bernard Goldberg did to CBS? What would that do to our trusted news prostit ... er, I mean, INstitutions?

[George W. Bush]

Petah, Petah, Petah...

[Billthedrill]

Jennings cried when the Nicaraguans got their first chance to vote in a semi-free election.

If you mean the broadcast where the election returns came in announcing the Sandanistas had lost, yes. I was absolutely astonished - I guess I'd always known that there was a certain bias on his show, but that was outright jaw-dropping. He looked like a kid whose puppy just got run over. I couldn't believe it.

[MizSterious]

From the "suspicions confirmed" department...

[jigsaw]

LOL! Good one!
