Here is a first class example of media bias, courtesy of “Meet the Press”’s Tim Russert. Russert gave James Carville the unquestioned run of his show, giving Carville almost double the talk time of his republican guest, Ed Gillespie.
Gillespie got 3 minutes and 43 seconds of chat. Carville was given 6 minutes and 46 seconds of talk time, which he crammed with words of hatred and endless charges of the Bush Administration, none of which were challenged by the socialist sycophant who hosts the program.
Carville got away with an incredible charge. While talking about Bush and the republicans, turned his speech to Tom Daschle, and said that they tried to kill him with Anthrax. Russert never challenged Carville, nor asked him for clarification on the matter.
Carville continued his accusations and invidious language. Then Russert addressed a question on ‘changing the tone in Washington” to the Republican instead of the hateful accusation-filled person in front of him!
Shame on you Russert! You exhibit what is wrong with our terrible media system, why all of us should fight giving you and your organized crime syndicate (called the mainstream media) any more power in our government. You cater to the ignorant in our society with little care about the survival of a good republic.
Russert is a first-class suck-up to the neo-socialist movement. With that as an aim, he can’t stand the truth or fairness, as it does not fit in their world. That is a message to all of us.
I totally agree. Democrats are perceived as playing politics and republicans are seen as doing the grunge work. Carville drives home the obvious point that the democrats put party politics ahead of the welfare of the country....and he does it best when he's on MTP with Russert acting as straight man. Carville is now doing a caricature of himself.
This got me thinking: Wouldn't Carville look great in a Nazi Schutzstaffel uniform? The Jackboots, the totenkoph symbols, and carrying the swagger stick?
Have some faith. Nobody believes his sh#t anymore.
Carefull now. The demos are like wolverines. They are extremely agile, attack from the rear, go for the throat and hang on until you bleed to death; after which they gore for guts.
If w's "ratings" were 99.9%, I'd never, ever, become complacent in dreaming that W would win re-election in 2004.
The race is never won until the participants cross the finish line with honest scorekeepers keeping honest tabulations.
Conservative Republicans defending freedom: Let's keep our powder dry, eye on the target, and squeeze off a few rounds when necessary.
Russert is not appearing impartial, he's just using that voice from the Daschle School of Intonation to make you think that he's being impartial.
If Russert's questions were spoken in the voice of "Fearless Leader" from the Rocky and Bullwinkle (God Bless Jay Ward and his cartoonists) cartoons, we would have the proper tone for the content.
Today's democratic party is a party of emotion, hatred, and selective law enforcement. It's as much as a danger for us as the Nazi's were for Germany in WWII. The Nazi's used the economy and hatred of businessmen as their platform......now we're seeing the same thing with the exception of targeting christians instead of jews.
You gotta watch these terrible people and fight them whenever you can.
Can we watch the following? Well, let's see, Bill (liar-in- chief) Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Johnnie Walker, Richard Reid, Paul Begala, Tommy (obstructionist) Daschle, Teddy (Splash) Kennedy, Prick Gephardt, and many more to name here.
Sounds like a great event. Is Bill going to be the master of ceremonies? Or is he going to be the master-bator at the ceromonies.
Carville is also extremely popular ... not so much for his politics as just for being Serpenthead. You should have seen the reception he got from delegates at the 2000 REPUBLICAN convention. Everyone wanted to meet, talk to, and have their picture taken with Carville.
He's fun to watch (even if his politics are nuts), he's fun to listen to, thus he gets more time than Ed Gillespie, who is just another talking head. That's all that's going on here.
I think we're often too rough on Russert, and Matthews, Brokaw and everyone at NBC News in general. Sure, they're all liberals, but I have always seen them as being much fairer to conservatives by far than ABC or CBS, both of which are downright socialist. NBC treats us better than anyone else but Fox, and since NBC gets way more viewers cumulatively (the main network, MSNBC and CNBC added together) than FNC does, we ought to be cultivating them, not pushing them away.
"Hara kiri." Depending on the process, it may take a long time to die. This country has been commmiting this process for a long time. It is a shame that politicans and lawyers are destroying America to make a few hundred grand a year. I make a lot of money but I don't screw my employees, suppliers, and associates. I hire people and give them jobs! No one ever got a job from a poor person. I was a poor person, and I got a job. Now I provide jobs for poor persons. They are not poor anymore. And... they have self respect. Something that democrats will never understand.
I thought that by now, especially in the wake of what happened on 9-11, that the country would have begun to heal. But clearly it's not.
Not once did Timmy or the Republican say that after eight years of Clinton, there was zero in the Social Security Trust Fund. Not a dime!
After a recession started, 9-11 happened, and we're tooling up for a ten-year war. So the fund is still at zero.
What was Cinton's reason?
