What's up with the title change? Why did a moderator change the title from the original to this? Are all caps not allowed in titles anymore? The terrorists have already won.

I complained about this way back in post #17, and have gotten no response.

I posted the headline exactly as Drudge did: "NBC SUITS RAP SORKIN OVER BUSH 'COURAGE' SLAM; WHITE HOUSE: PRODUCER BITTER AFTER DENIED REQUEST".

The original Drudge post from this morning has NOT had its headline changed.

Reminiscent of Hillary holding hands with Laura B on the latter's visit to the WH...

I hope Mrs. Bush used Pine-Sol disinfectant cleaner afterwards. Or Clorox.

I guess we don't understand eachother here.....what I am saying is that the sidebar moderator DID change the headline...it initially had the semicolon and other info which is what Drudge has on his headline. This was removed here on the FR article.

But, consider this: Mr. Sorkin writes/directs television entertainment.

And, many people continue to tune in and watch "The West Wing".

I cannot believe that some of my friends actually believe that Martin Sheen is/would be a great president.

Mr. Sorkin and commerical televison is the reason why I chose to watch C-SPAN

""WEST Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin whines that the media portrays President Bush in too flattering a light, and he charges his NBC colleague Tom Brokaw with leading the suck-up brigade."

LOL! Is this the same Brokaw that couldn't get through two sentences during that special without mentioning Enron? Yeah, what a suck-up! /off sarcasm

Even before I heard of Druggie Dorkin' Sorkin, I refused to give that stupid show one minute of my time since it stars that clymer Sheen.

Ditto bump

Is the text after the semi colon Drudge's opinion and not the story?

Just guessing..

Email NBC with your outrage of Sorkin. I did earlier and I assume many others did too. Reading Drudge, NBC is not happy-many calls and advertiser upset too! The email address is: www.thewestwing@nbc.com. Let them know you no longer watch this pathetic show and will not support the advertisers.

No matter what you think of the man, him and bubba are incredibly intelligent and Gore holding back how smart he was is a disgrace to all...

HUH? Clinton, for all his many faults, really is highly intelligent, though lacking in wisdom. But GORE? INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT? On what possible basis could you claim that?

How can you make an impression on a "left coast idiot who smokes, drinks, and snorts drugs as well as psych mushrooms?

Force him to become a Muslim and airdrop him in Ashcanistan.
