Spot on article. The press really made fools of themselves over this story. NBC and the ever-self-absorbant David Gregory thinks this is all about the media, he could care less about Mr. Withington. Shameful display of arrogance and childishness by David and his old media cohorts.

In March 2000, CNN showed a picture of the Virgin Mary made out of dung:
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/STYLE/arts/03/27/museum.flap/index.html
Right there on CNN’s website you have a picture of "The Holy Virgin Mary" by British artist Chris Ofili. He used elephant dung and images of female genitalia in that ‘work’.

This garbage posing as ‘art’ was deemed offensive to Christians. CNN had no qualms about showing it and offending Christians. It has remained on their web site until today. Nearly five years now.

In fact, if you click on the link above, you will see this ‘work’ - still proudly displayed on CNN’s website.

Now the violent Muslims are rampaging and burning things - again - about a few cartoons, and CNN says, “CNN has chosen to not show the cartoons out of respect for Islam.”

Follow this link and read the last line in the article.

Hypocrisy?
Do not trust the MSM.

Very well put!

I might add: Scott should pass out lollipops to the whiners.

Just might work,since they don't seem to comprehend the English language.

Press helps hide what about hillary?

* 1 Black Panther Party
Her peripheral involvement had no effect on Yale activities or on the outcome of the trial.
* 2 Cattle futures
After an investigation, Leo Melamed, chair of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, concluded that Clinton had not violated the rules
* 3 Whitewater scandal
No criminal charges were brought against the Clintons themselves, as Robert Ray's final report on September 20, 2000 stated that there was insufficient evidence that either of them had engaged in criminal wrongdoing
* 4 Travel office firings
it could not be proved that she had deliberately lied about the matter, and so no charges would be brought.
* 5 Vince Foster
No credible evidence or charges were ever brought forward in connection with any of these allegations.
* 6 FBI files
No credible evidence or charges were ever brought forward in connection with any of these allegations.
* 7 Embrace of Suha Arafat
The embrace itself became a campaign issue the following year, but Clinton defended it as a formality akin to a handshake, saying that not to do so would have caused a diplomatic incident.
* 8 Book contract
However, in February 2001, the Senate Ethics Committee gave Clinton approval for the deal.
* 9 Ghostwriters
* 10 Hasidic pardons
A federal investigation launched by critics of the pardon cleared both Clintons of any illegal activity.
* 11 Attendance at funerals after September 11
* 12 Gandhi comment
Michelle Naef, administrator of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence said she didn't think Clinton was trying to demean Mahatma Gandhi and credited both Clintons as long having supported the Gandhi message.
* 13 Rosen's indictment and acquittal
* 14 2006 Martin Luther King Day comments

It's pretty amazing that the Vice President is being criticized for not doing the reporters' jobs for them.

I thought reporters were paid money to go out and find stories, not have them wrapped up with a bow and hand-delivered on a silver platter to them by other people who have their own jobs to do.

It shows how out of touch the MSM is when they make their own laziness the centerpiece of this otherwise interesting story.

I read that the MSM is complaining that the VP "picked" his interviewer, i.e. Fox News. Since when has a high level politician not selected the interviewer?

To challenge the GOP they need a battering ram. They don't have one so they use a piece of straw and wonder why no one takes them seriously. They hyperventilate over everything because the DO NOT know what is important and what is not.

The White House should start releasing news to red state local newspapers as a shot across the bow of the MSM.

The people who mattered -- were informed immediately about the hunting accident.

This, after all the dust settles, is all that truly matters.

"Stuff it!" should become a standard response in the White House briefings playbook.

Isn't the shot on the left a scene from Brokeback Mountain?

I'd like to see a Freeper investigation into the left wing media. I wonder what skeletons David Gregory has in his closet. Collectively, we have the numbers to do it. It would be great just to let them HEAR we are investigating every one of them. Put the same kind of heat on them that they do the President.
