Why isn't Dean in prison for speaking out against republicans?
Edited on Sat Jun-11-05 01:46 PM by Zinfandel
"We'll decide when we're ready," Wilson said. --- A Fox "News" republican asshole, who pretends to be a journalist...What an egotistic piece of republican shit, who can't stand the fact that Dean is not in prison for speaking truths about republicans!

NO need to post a reply, (please don't)...This speaks for itself...read the link article, DU dreamers!

Dean's Appearance Has Media in a Sweat

"After several seconds, a booming voice cut through the noise. It belonged to Brian Wilson, a Fox News correspondent who was standing in the middle of the crowd. He asked Dean "if people are focused on the other things that you've said about hating Republicans, about Republicans being dishonest and then this latest comment about the Republican Party is full of white Christians. You say you hate Republicans -- does that mean you also'' hate white Christians?

<snip>

It was a scalding day on Capitol Hill yesterday, and that includes tempers. Things got particularly hot during a photo op in the office of Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) after the minority leader and his Senate deputies completed a 17-minute meeting with the hot-tongued Howard Dean.

About 60 reporters and cameramen attempted to shove their way into an office equipped to handle about 20. The resulting spectacle offered yet another distillation of why so many people believe that politicians and the media deserve each other.

The madness began at 10:30 a.m. when the media horde was invited to enter Reid's office. Photographers poured in first, equipment slamming into the sides of a narrow doorway and -- in one case -- the temple of a female staffer. Reporters were invited in next, but roughly 20 reporters were unable to crowd in and were left to shout objections through the bottleneck. "You can't start yet," one yelled from the back. "The reporters aren't in."

<snip>

An aide to Reid announced that the photo op was over. "We'll decide when we're ready," (Fox News) Wilson said.

2. The US media is primarily interested in reporting scandal...

....real and imagined scandal and the absurd. You'd think they would be camped out at the WH and at the "ranch" demanding straight answers (the truth) from the Liar in Chief.....

3. Give them time......It's only been a few days, these things take time man!
;-) You can tell how afraid they are of him though, otherwise FOX would not be on full attack.

4. Also, I think Dean has a lot of spine...........
Bad things seem to happen to anyone who gets to outspoken in favor of the Democratic party. Is it any wonder that good people would shy away from politics because of the fear of what happend to the Kennedy's and the King's? No wonder Democratic leaders don't want to stand up. I don't always agree with Dean, but I respect him a lot.

6. So much for "We report, you decide."
Wilson (and "Tex" Sensenbrenner) are perfect examples of what the pukes have become: unbelievably arrogant and disdainful.

BTW, "Tex" is short for Kotex for which he's heir.
