Related: About this forumInfuriating CNN discussion of student confronting Jeb
This is the disease that affects journalism in this country. This young woman is confronting a powerful man with a real challenge to his professed expertise and "advisers" on foreign policy, and yet the follow up discussion is solely a "but how is he doing in the horse race"
dialogue.
it turns my stomach, and I can't believe that journalists in this country are unable to break out of this even for an issue that has destroyed so many hundreds of thousands of lives.

Characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for academic knowledge and formal rules: a pedantic attention to details.
Pedantic adjective:
Characterized by a narrow concern for book learning and formal rules, without knowledge or experience of practical matters---------------
BINGO we now have a BUSH
Feel sorry for him, guess what zippies --it does matter, how someone in ones family murdered human beings based on a LIE.
Then to have good old Mark and Rich make comments to equate for journalistic review is outrageous.
Then to have the audacity to defend this right wing hypocrite Bush.
Then to turn right around and to demean this young woman----guess what zippies----------- she may have children that could be put in harms way by this hypocrite.
This is not like a baseball game, where do you come off with that kind of analogy, and then say she is not primary republican voter how dare you and accuse her as democrat liberal------------really.
I am a democrat and liberal and proud of that fact --------what are you---------a smear campaign on this young woman, to besmirch her character -------------really
That's a big problem, and I hope she comes after the both of you ---------------------
Good for her--------she got my support and her back

(24,688 posts)like had nothing else better to do, except sit on a national T.V show------------pass the time ------look stupid and be stupid and then ---------have just that moment to be outright condescension and demean this woman.
There job function is to do her job, to ask hard questions .
Costello, I thought was better than that, all she is doing when she had her boss on there was placate this smear------------she has no scruples------------none of them have scruples.
They had no clue that there job was to do what this young woman did.
She challenged someone, who is just like his brother, a sociopathic LIAR.
Who, if he gets elected is going to put human beings lives at risk, because this hypocrite has 17 of the same architects that did what the first one did, which was his brother a sociopathic LIAR and murder, who had a daily intelligence briefings to either:
A) do nothing, or
B) create a lie to kill people with a lying plan.
I apologize for getting on this rant, but this so called media is failing this country.
It is just infuriating that everyday we get this same steady pablum from these same MSM / cable outlets to dumb people down while they are stupid.
This why we or I come on these sites because we the people are seeing what these news organizations are trying to just outdo each other for rating and be like Fix Noise, just a noise of lies -------------and they too should be put under the microscope like the pedantic right wing hypocrite
Again,
Thank you for letting me vent and rant.
I really believe that she should get an attorney and file charges against these three, to address what they did-----a apology is not good enough------it just isn't

Very serious situation, and the meteorologist Chad Myers is trying to walk us through the weather pattern.
Carol Costello, meanwhile is engaging in bubbly banter, like this is just another cozy morning newscast.

(105 posts)Journalists who decide to speak to power and actually ask hard ball questions are the journalists from a blog or a sideline beat. Main stream reporters need their job. Main stream news is dictated by the money controllers.

(5,069 posts)as it is about the thought provoking issues raised by this (brave, courageous) young woman have yet to be addressed by 'journalists' in any serious questioning about US foreign policies. These policies are supported for the most part by Democrats and Republicans.
