As heard on the Hugh Hewitt show, ABC's Terry Moran, upon the conclusion of President Bush's speech at Ft. Bragg, actually made the comment that the crowd was very quiet and only applauded when prompted to do so my the President's advance team.
A colonel then called Hugh's show. At a non-partisan event such as this, the soldiers would have certainly been told that proper decorum was not to cheer and interrupt the President.
The death spiral of the mainstream media continues. Twenty years from now, your grandchildren will be asking, "Grandpa, what was ABC, CBS, and NBC?"
"Carl Cameron was on Fox explaining that the "higher ups" came out and pumped up the crowd and allowed them to get some energy released...."
Maybe the dims will try this the next time they put on a Wellstone rally.
As Carl Cameron explained it, the only real exuberant applause WAS after some Bush team members applauded, but the audience was dying to let loose. That just provided the open door. They were told to not get rowdy.
I was wondering if he was saying my assessment of Moran was accurate and that Moran actually did say something that stupid. I'll wait to flame Plan 99 until I know.
Something tells me you won't be here very long.
Yes, we were watching ABC (why, I don't know, we almost always watch FOX). I thought it was a rather odd comment. It was if he was implying that the soldiers weren't in agreement with Bush, that this was a silent protest of some sort.
Speak up! Or are you just a DUer over here to troll? Seems like the later.
Well, I think his is a major league a**hole. Maybe on this quiz, you are allowed to check all three boxes.
bwahahaha!
How embarassing. What a jerk!
Moran's that reporter who's nothing more than a hairdo with nothing underneath it. Wait - that doesn't narrow it down much.
Was the report/analysis anchored by Charles Gibson?
If this is the best the butt nuggets on the left can come up with, I pity those poor bastards
Just called ABC news at 212-456-2800 and let them know how Moran made a fool of himself. I explained how the troops were told the decorum. Duh, Terry, that is why they were quiet and respectful. They said they would pass on the message. I say we hammer ABC tomorrow during business hours and mock Moran into oblivion.
Hey Moran you moron, it's the Army and the Army is DISCIPLINED. If a superior officer orders you not to applaud, YOU DO NOT APPLAUD. Period! These MSM'ers make me sick!
Typical liberal asshole, a coward pissing on the graves of brave soldiers for some nebulous political gain. You make me puke.
CYUH!
Cleanup on aisle 5
