MSNBC "GALS" say "more info. coming on Osama's Planned Attack/US
I'm surfing, only, because I have tuned out watching cables, but given the impact of the Senate Intelligence Report today, I'm surfing for reaction.

I see crap on CNN with downplaying the report so I tune into MSNBC and they do an interview with Gen Wayne Downing (Dowling(sp?) where he talks about having "no doubt" there will be a terrorist attack in US soon.

Then the "Blondies/Heathers" show a pix of Osama and say: "...and more coming up on Osama's planned attack in the United States.."

HELP ME HERE! Yesterdays announcement by Tom Ridge...did it say Osama had DEFINITELY planned a TERROR ATTACK IN US NOW??

That's it folks. There's NO WAY the CABLES aren't in LOCK DOWN! SCARY!!!

2. For heaven's sake... it's no crime to watch cable.
It's okay to watch cable news. It's okay to not watch it. No apologies are needed, and offering disclaimers and explanations indirectly criticizes those of us that are out of the cable news closet.

3. I agree. Just said so in another post. The Bushevik parasitization
and infiltration and Mockingbirding of the Corporate TV Pravda is hardwired into it now.

It is the media of a Slave Nation, with few exceptions.

And it isn't going away, whether Kerry is allowed to win or not.

4. Don't worry - they will "wake up" and become watchdogs during the Kerry
administration.

It will be tough journalism 24/7 . . . .

5. Because of my offense at paying for cable but not being able to watch, but
figuring I need it in case there is another terrorist attack. After the last one where Bush flew around on one of the many Air Force One's I wonder the value of it all, though. What did Bush do for me the last time but push us into "Endless War" of "Pre-Emptive Strike."

Maybe I need to unhook from cable which I don't watch, but only surf looking for tidbits to convince me the "tide is turning" and it never does but only get's worse, and just go back to my books and keep the "Weather Radio and my Short Wave" with fresh batteries and figure I will save the $50.00 a month in now costs me for stuff I don't watch. :shrug:
