Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2001 Vile Media Make Snide Remarks About Bush - Rather, Jennings, More

Now, more than ever, Americans need to support our president.

The big media apparently don't think they are U.S. citizens.

Mancow, the major morning drive-time host in Chicago, expressed outrage this morning on his show about Peter Jennings' comments on ABC.

Mancow noted to his audience Jennings' outrageous introduction to the president just before he addressed the nation in the middle of this emergency.

Mancow paraphrased Jennings as saying that "some presidents are articulate and some are not."

A NewsMax reader was similarly shocked and e-mailed us about CBS anchorman Dan Rather's introduction yestderday to President Bush's speech.

The reader quoted Rather as introducing Bush by saying, "No matter how you feel about him, he is still our president."

And NBC's Tom Brokaw has already started the media's blame game - blaming, guess who - George Bush!

A NewsMax reader was just watching Tom Brokaw interview Gen. Schwarzkopf.

The reader paraphrased Brokaw's question:

"We don't want to blame anyone, but do you think the Bush administration was negligent in not getting actively involved in the Mideast peace process while all the violence was going on?"

Our reader said he was "outraged that NBC would even consider such a statement let alone broadcast it!"

Other NBC talking heads have made comments about Bush's lack of eloquence.

NBC's Campbell Brown just this morning broadcast in front of the White House, and said people had complained about the president's lack of confidence when he spoke. She went on at length, saying that people hoped the president could give us a sense of confidence. She did not say Bush was giving Americans confidence.

Excuse us, Campbell. The president has been eloquent. He has been confident.

Real Americans support him 100 percent.

We are not so sure why the networks are spending time to analyze and criticize his speaking skills during a national emergency.

For sure, Americans are fed up with the communication skills of elitists such as Jennings, Rather, and you, Campbell!

Talking to many people from here in Singapore as well as other nationalities who live here, I have heard nothing but praise and respect for our president. It's an embarrassment that even in a time of national distress and crisis we can't get a decent word out of the mouths of our media.

[village idiot]

These media yahoo's want the silver-tongued liar-in-chief back.....guess they'll never learn the difference between a genuine President who means what he says and can be trusted and any ole Hollywood type who'll give a magnificent presentation of LIES!!!! IDIOTS!!!

The MSNBC poll shows that 80% of the American people support him. I guess the other 20% are the media and those that condone acts of war against our country.

"Vile media" for sure. Since this national tragedy, President Bush has conducted himself with dignity and has shown himself to be a leader. The news media, on the other hand, are what they have always been -- leftist scum.

Long before this attack, I began to dislike Newsmax.

They are a pathetic excuse for a news site and thier examples here that are "sent in by readers" are just silly. I agree that Jennings was a major league Clymer throughout this thing, but Rather handled the entire day with dignity and professionalism. Every article I have seen posted by NewsMax here, has been littered with innuendo, quotes taken out of context and speculation. Chris Ruddy and Carl Limbacher are doing nothing more then fanning the flames of people's emotions for webhits. That is just disgusting.

They are less reliable than the National Enquirer and more disgusting than Slate.

Chicago - WLS - Don and Roma Morning Show. Ann 'the slug' Compton made a brief phone-in to plug ABC coverage. First thing out of her mouth was Bush bashing. Don and Roma jumped on her with four feet. 'The slug' didn't what happened and I'm sure we won't be bothered by her crap during the morning drive again.

For sure, Americans are fed up with the communication skills of elitists such as Jennings, Rather, and you, Campbell!

Send these reporters to Afganistan to do reports. Maybe they can be a target?

[worriedaboutUS]

I don't think Andrea Mitchell's elevator can get off the ground floor! She stated yesterday on tv that these attacks were believed to have been done because of the outrage the Palestinians feel for Bush being on Israel's side. How outrageous a statement can anyone make. She is viewed by me now as A complete idiot, along w/ Jennings, Rather, and Brian Williams who criticized the President for being in Nebraska. I can't watch these losers at all anymore, am tuned to Fox only, and staying with them.

[Mike Darancette]

The worst drivel I heard was an interview of an Ex CIA Director by some BBC Info-twit (Female) who asked whether the CIA guy believed that the the attack was caused by the Bush Administration's isolationism. The CIA guy looked at her like she had just eaten a bug, I could see him thinking "Yep, the Rag Heads are pissed over Kyoto".

[Quilla]

Yesterday, just before Mueller gave his briefing, Peter Jennings stated something to the effect of:

Remember folks, this man in brand new at this job [as FBI Director}.

I screamed at the screen yet again. ABC is the only channel I can receive at the office and was so releaved to return home and settle in before Fox News.

[Mr. Wright]

WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO THESE - - - HOLES. WATCH FOX NEWS, THEY REPORT - YOU DECIDE! CASE CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[E.G.C.]

President Bush has really done an excellent job of handling the ongoing events this week. He is really a true leader for this country. I will say it again. I'm very embarrased for America that we have the kind of news media we have right now. These people seem to be more interested in advancing their own political agenda than in serving the news and information needs of it's consumers.

A tremoudous disservice is being done to the public by these news organizations. Now is not the time to diss our great leader, President Bush. Rather, it's time to stand behind him during this period of National Emergency.
Regards.

[cinFLA]

Add Geraldo to the list for dissin' Bush for not going directly back to the Whitehouse and for dissin' the "claims" that he was in danger.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Maybe someone needs to tell Campbell Brown that she speaks like Thurston Howell the Third, and it's NOT charming.

[swampfox98]

I never turn Fox off. That is the reason I am so smart. :-) -- unlike the idiots in the mainstream network media, who are idiots.

[VoodooEconomist]

"some presidents are articulate and some are not."

Actually, that's true. What's an even more astounding fact is that a majority of our "most articulate" presidents were also the worst - from a constitutional standpoint. I'd much prefer a dumb ox in the White House if it means getting through four years without the State expanding and Freedom shrinking.

As for Rather, Jennings, etc. They've sacrificed their credibility long ago. Most Americans are onto their little game of a soapbox disguised as news anchorism. They have less than a generation to propagandize ... so they're working overtime to fulfill their mission to spread the Gospel of Liberalism far and wide.

If any of those Clymers think that "President Gore" would have returned immediately back to the White House, they better think again. Gore would still be in hiding
