Just now on ABC newscast Peter (alias - Dick) Jennings had the temerity to actually go to Big D - Dallas, Texas and get a 'man-on-the-street' opinion of what Dallasites think of the world in general.
Dubya got the expected high marks all around and then Jennings asked one man what Dallas residents think of things and the man replies:
"Well, nobody like YOU!"
Right in Jennings weasily little face!!
Jennings spun it to mean that folks were mad at media in general, but I guarantee you this guy meant Peter Jennings personally!
Man, what a treat.
I guess ABC wont be planning any more visits to Dalllas anytime soon. BEEEEEAAUUUUTIFFFULLLLL!!
For a second the Texan thought about not responding to Jennings' pestering but then he squared up to Jennings and spoke slowly and deliberately from the heart.
If looks could kill!
WHOS SHIRLEY?
I can't believe it either. I'm really surprised that clip didn't end up on the cutting room floor. Hmmm. What do you suppose it means?
I'm not sure, but I suspect it means that either an editor was asleep on the job or the clip was left in deliberately to make Dallas and Texas look bad. Keep in mind that "World News Tonight" leads the ratings of the "Big Three" right now. SOMEBODY must like Peter Jennings or that would not be the case. Those who dislike Jennings will applaud the guy in Dallas who told him what for, but those who like him will only see Dallas and Texas as an unfriendly place where visitors aren't welcome. As a native Texan and former resident of Dallas, I think that's a reputation that great city neither wants nor deserves.
Just my $.02
Just wanted to bump that remark! This morning Fox gave us Geraldo stammering around on his reports on Fox and Friends along with Colmes.
Tonight they gave us another clinton advisor -- this time a security advisor that said how bad security was around nuclear power plants for 2000-2001 and wouldn't reply when Gibson asked him if it had improved since Sep 11th but kept going back to 2000-2001. I kept wondering why Gibson didn't ask him why clinton didn't do anything about it!
At least when I watch CNN I expect a bunch of liberals, but watching liberals on Fox makes me think they are doing a bait and switch -- brought conservatives into watch and then started giving us clintonites and other liberals. Well I have news for Fox -- I can quit watching them as fast as I started watching them. Right now I am kicking myself for going all out to get them on our cable system if I keep seeing what I have been seeing recently.
I will not start out my morning listening to Geraldo and then to throw in Colmes was an added insult this morning!
. . .it is there waiting. . .
. . .a really funny bump. . .
If we're not careful, this could turn into one of those "I picked a bad time to stop taking amphetamines..." threads.
Hats off to the guy who said it...wish it could have been me.
I think they should ask each media talking head individually to submit to a town hall meeting about their performance. Kind of like the Red Guards and the Khmer Rouge did....no death threats or violence like the Commies... just make them listen to average Americans.
It would be priceless.
