Merry Christmas EveryOne!

This sunday's Media Nuggets.

###### Finally! Kimberly(CBS) acknowledges the greatness of our Soldiers - debunking CNN'er Eason Jordon's theory of Soldiers targetting journalists. Says that killings are conducted by an act of evil and the victims are lucky — if they have the care of the U.S. military. The U.S. military treated me as one of its own, saving my life a few times over, with the best people, the best training and the best equipment.

###### Chris Matthews - gets a dressing down... Nothing screams "clueless" like being shown the fool that you are by a Marine.

###### Christmas gifting - MSM Style! - Time Magazine Unit Cuts 27 Jobs. Carol Lin (Single mom with toddler who just lost her husband) is out from CNN & will be replaced by Rick Sanchez. Rene Syler out from CBS' The Early Show.

###### Deboltonizing! - The President has recess appointed Warren Bell & Mark McKinnon for Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Broadcasting Board of Governors.

###### Journalists used by antiwar officer for propaganda - found themselves used to convict him by Army prosecutors.

###### Challenging & defending MSM - ** Nobles ** and ** Knaves **.

###### Who Should You Believe - AP or Bloggers?.

###### RINOS & CINOS digging deeper - in bed with Enemedia.

###### Ex-Newsday boss gets prison term - In child porn case.

###### Jim Axelrod of CBS on this week's presser: "50 percent of Americans say they favor a beginning of an end to U.S. military involvement in Iraq. 43 percent said keep fighting". It 's clear from the questions that 100% of the press corps were representing only 50% of Americans (if their polls were to be believed).

###### What goes around ......... - Remember the WH press corps' shameful behaviour about First Lady Laura Bush's skin cancer treatment? Well, now liberal "journalist" Murray Waas whines that some (libral)journalist exposed his cancer treatment (as if it mattered anything to anyone). And it 's he, who "reported" earlier that 15 WH staffers including Rove will be indicted in Plame case.

###### Enemedia aiding the enemy - San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press, San Jose Mercury News and Bloomberg News are challenging Terrorist Surveillance Program via backdoor court case.

###### Want Ratings - Go Conservative! - Mike Rosen's open letter to CBS.

See U all next week!

London-Paris Chunnel is on sky high alert for terrorism.

This has been reported this morning on FoxNews. I didn't see a hard copy in Yahoo or Google news.

One report indicated that officials definitely expect some terrorist attempt soon.

I watched John Fund on Fox Sunday.

I could slap this guy silly.

Him and all the other armchair quarterbacks who know pretty much nothing.

Over and over..."we need more troops". It's a mantra and I don't think the pundits have a clue what they're talking about.

Now I DID see Gates, new SecDef, as he interviewed some grunts on the ground. They did say they needed more troops but hey, at least someone bothered to ask them. John Fund is a McCain supporter and he's just repeating talking points so far as I'm concerned.

If we need more troops on the ground, then so be it. I'm skeptical. I truly believe, silly me, that Rumsfeld knew what he was doing, the guy led two sucessful campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. If more troops were needed I believe Rumsfeld would have sent them in.

I really despise know-nothings who repeat a given mantra over and over and I have NO trust in their judgement. I speak specifically of wimpy John Fund but there are plenty more.

Frankly, at this point, I don't know who to trust. The leadership of this country is simply NOT leading.

Alright..... after seeing the first fifteen minutes of FoxNews Sunday ............. here is my Christmas message to all you Freepers who are on FreeRepublic for what I suppose is the same reason I am here.

Lynne Cheney should definitely be the next President of the United States of America.

This woman, without a pause at all, looks anyone asking her a question directly in the eyes and tells the beautiful truth without hesitation.

This woman is the best candidate the Republicans could place up for the Presidency in 2008.

This lovely, decent and honorably honest woman is the BEST spokesman for conservatism. There is no one better. She is a gem of a human being and a brilliantly intelligent spokesman of conservatism and the truth!

****

Merry Christmas to all.
