CBS, NBC, ABC | ALL slam bush* tonight

[nostamj]

in their evening news broadcasts

I was able to surf the opening minutes of all three.

ALL showed the "Mission Accomplished" photo op and pointed out how very very wrong he was.

ALL showed Kerry's speech in a positive light with some coverage showing how negative and personal Cheney's attack was.

if they have not played in your time zone, catch the first 10 minutes of any of them and you'll be pleased.

Fallujah, coming on the anniversary of "mission accomplished" have seriously weakened the chimp.

good things come in threes, will the third be Nightline tonight?

[doni_georgia]

1. Bout damn time! Has the media finally come out of it's post-9/11 stupor?

I'm looking forward to Nightline tonight. Don't think it's going to be preempted in the Atlanta market because our local radio whore asshole Kim Peterson was railing about it this afternoon.

[nostamj]

4. i dashed home from rehearsal

because I had a VERY good feeling about tonight's broadcasts.

I was NOT disappointed. plan to catch Koppel too, thought not sure I can make it through the entire thing... we'll see.

47. I used to hit their message boards.

until they dropped them. Many of us moved to freshpress.com

[rocktivity]

5. I regret the crotch shot, too

Not to mention what Chris Matthews said about it:
"We’re proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who’s physical, who’s not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who’s president. Women like a guy who’s president. Check it out. The women like this war."
--Hardball, May 1, 2003

6. "The women like this war."

right. I betting there are 5000+++ mothers, wives, sisters, daughters who do NOT like this war...

[robbedvoter]

16. Liddy: Unlike Gore, * doesn't have to kiss a woman to prove his manhood"

[CatWoman]

20. What's Liddy trying to prove in this getup? That he can repulse the

entire planet??

[paulk]

26. and assholes like Liddy

consider burning the flag desecration?

[Octafish]

40. Oh, my eyes! My eyes! *

Excellent photograph of the traitor G Gordon Liddy -- the man who once offered to kill journalist Jack Anderson from his office in the White House.

* What a fellow DUer said upon seeing that wonderful pic.

Hey, Gordo! You're still a crook!

[truth2power]

45. That's disgusting!

No, I mean really....he is totally without class!!

[laruemtt]

48. oh god i'm dying rotflmao!!

he's proved his point - i'm repulsed!!! eeeeks!

[Lisa]

52. good grief! what normal woman ...

... would want to kiss either Bush or Liddy, after seeing those pictures?

Ick. I need a drink, just to try to forget that spectacle. Why do those guys think that putting their goodies in the shop window like that is alluring?


Double ick!

[CatWoman]

54. ROFL!!!!!

It is pretty disgusting, isn't it?? :D

That poor Speedo!!!

[Lindacooks]

22. Tweety Matthews, pResidential Pimp

what a dipshit.

[Catherine Vincent]

49. That has got to be photoshopped!

If it isn't, then we know why Bush* wanted to wear that gettup!

[Ladyhawk]

50. Matthews said THAT????

Why is he still on the air?

[FailureNoOption]

7. Is our liberal media finally back in our fold?

Why did they ever desert us? I miss the squib laced truck fuel tanks to show how dangerous a side impact can be and the watermelon that was shot with a deer rifle (reported as an AK47 shot) because the AK47 they were trying to demonetize only put a hole in it instead of exploding it.

[nostamj]

8. the network evening broadcasts

have NEVER been as whorish as the cable pigs.

but tonight was esp. good.

[bobbieinok]

9. ????? what are you talking about???????

[FailureNoOption]

14. Maybe you missed the staged network news spots years ago?

They use a model rocket igniter attached to the fuel tank of a truck that was suspected of having a side-impact issue with its fuel tank. They could not get it to explode by crashing into it so they added a squib igniter.

The AK and watermelon was another setup.

They were caught and called on it and have behaved better ever since.

[TeeYiYi]

10. Who's fold? The crack of your ass?

"demonetize?" School much?

TYY

[FailureNoOption]

12. School much?

Enough I'm quite sure. Is this a test?

[Mountainman]

13. I spell terrible but some cool aide drinkers really suck LOL!

[rocktivity]

11. The mainstream media deserted us because the Bush regime bought them off

with favorable monopoly legislation and tax breaks. But even with that, there's only so much whoring they can do before they appear to be as lacking in character, competence, and credibility as Bush does. Look at how CNN lied about the White House calling them to refute Dave Lettermans' "Yawning Kid" video, and are now running ads from the House of Saud!

15. I guess you have never seen or fired an AK-47

They shoot a thirty caliber round with sufficient knock down power to more than explode a melon or a human head for that matter. Even an M-16 would do more than make a hole in a melon. There are people here who know BS when they read it.

[FailureNoOption]

17. Think again

A standard 7.62 x 39 FMJ AK round at the standard 2200fps only puts a hole in the melon. A 5.56 .223 M-16 standard FMJ round at 3300fps explodes the melon. CBS used a 30-06 .308 soft-point hunting round at 3600fps to really explode the melon.

PS: I own an AK along with many .223 rifles and load all my own ammo. I will challenge you to any discussion of arms and ammo of your chosing. Also, I am a professional fireworks master in the shadow of Shimzu. Bring it on...

[Mountainman]

18. "Bring it on" I think the chimpster said that didn't he?

Well good to know you like the cool aide so much.

[FailureNoOption]

21. I believe Kerry said it too.

I was born and raised in the eastern mountains of West (by God) Virginia and know my way around lawyers, guns and money.

31. Why the obsession with tiny weiners?

Good luck with that too.

[Mountainman]

27. I was born in Ohio so we're practicaly neighbors.

I had to sleep with my rifle for a year.

[gratuitous]

30. You "believe" Kerry said it, too?

What, no citation? You apparently DON'T know your way around lawyers very well. Unsubstantiated assertions don't hold up very well in a court of law.

33. Sorry, too late

The motion's been denied.

But just for the record, how many more men have we lost because Kerry said "Bring it on"? Anywhere near as many as we've lost since Lil George said it last July? I make it to be hundreds dead, and thousands injured. Not an enviable record.

[FailureNoOption]

35. Sorry, too late to change the subject

Distraction denied.

[nostamj]

46. what a hypocrite you are!

you know DAMN well that when Kerry made a "bring 'em on" statement, it was a call out to bush*

NOT to iraqis killing US soldiers.

have you NO shame?

i think DU is the WRONG place for people like you. your LIES and DISTORTIONS will not go unnoticed.

[Shakespeare]

38. Yes, class--that's called IRONY.

But I suspect you knew that already.

[maggrwaggr]

29. uh, I think failure IS an option with you

when you fail to stay on DU for more than a few posts.

Good luck, "failure"

[FailureNoOption]

34. For telling the truth?Why

Why would anyone telling the truth have problems staying here? Maybe you should try following the rules yourself instead of baiting new posters.

[Bandit]

53. I carried an AK-47 for almost a year while in Vietnam

I have fired thousands of rounds through one. I know for a fact what damage an AK round will do. I have seen GIs with parts of their bodies blown apart by an AK round. I am well aware of the damage done. I am also well aware of the damage done by an M-16 round and I was fortunate enough to be in a unit that allowed me to chose the weapon of my choice so I didn't have to carry the M-16. I won't argue with a faceless anonymous person on the INTERNET but I do know what I'm saying.

[gratuitous]

19. Squib laced truck fuel tanks?

Are you referring to the Chevrolet pickup demonstration on NBC's newsmagazine in 1987? Surely you know that in crash tests, the government itself puts in firing squibs, so that it gets an accurate picture of what happens in a collision should there be a rupture of a fuel tank?

In the Dateline tests, while squibs were present, they were never fired. The pickup trucks blew up when the hot filament of the impact car's headlight was exposed in the collision to the gasoline from the ruptured fuel tanks. You DO know that, don't you?

And that Dateline originally stood by its reporting, as did the then-president of NBC Michael Gartner? Gartner later knuckled under when the headlight's manufacturer, one General Electric, let NBC know in no uncertain terms that it might not be able to count on GE ad revenue in the next year if it didn't "adjust" its reporting? You know that, right?

[FailureNoOption]

23. The footage Dateline used showed the Estes engine igniting the fuel

I'm sure other crashes without squibs did explode but the point is Dateline used the squib to insure their "facts" were insured.

[gratuitous]

28. No, you're incorrect

And, as I stated, the government in its own crash tests uses squibs to test for spilled fuel. And the Dateline tests didn't fire the squibs. So your premise that the crash tests on Dateline were somehow rigged is incorrect; and your implication that the show's producers were doing something nefarious is unfounded.

You should probably read a book from time to time. You seem underinformed.

[FailureNoOption]

37. They were caught red handed and footage shows the lit squib

You are wrong to deny it.

[snippy]

36. Dubya? Is that you?

[FailureNoOption]

39. Don't get snippy with me

I am the anti-bush and you can take that to the bank.

[snippy]

41. Too late.

[happynewyear]

42. it is too bad that this is what it takes

We must watch the crimes on television. Aren't we proud Americans now? NOT!

Finally we have news coverage of the war crimes, but this is what it has taken. How very sad I am to see that America must go through this before we can actually see the reality of an unjust war.

:puke:

[librechik]

43. Joe Wilson on Dateline tonight

headsup

[revcarol]

51. What time and channel?

He is so beyond price.

[Generator]

44. Here's the deal with the media: They must have a picture

Without a video, a feed, there is no story.

It's all about that.

That's why they are showing this contrast between the reality of the war and Bush's "Mission Accomplished". They have a picture, so they have a story.

There are no pictures to show the misapropriation of the $700,000.

So, no story. No pictures of the outing of a CIA operative, now if they had a picture, it would be a story.

At last, we have horrible pictures of those being tortured in Iraq, and the Nightline breakthrough of PICTURES of those killed, not just a number.

You can say numbers, it's not the same. To bring these bastards down we need the pictures showing them lying.

That's all they care about. One picture, one sound bite and it's all over baby because underneath is one rotting core.
