I knew it wouldn't last, all the cable news channels have been reeled in

[tridim]

They're in 100% "save Bush's ass" propaganda mode now. It'll probably be that way from here on out.

Those 3 days of honesty will go down the memory hole.

[Tesibria]

1. i don't think so --- this is momentary - and it IS good news...

.... but they have too many people already asking questions; i don't think they'll back off. Not yet.

maybe i'm just too hopeful.

[joanne]

2. Wait for Anderson Cooper tonight

He said yesterday he was sick of politicians congratulating themselves while people were dying.

[samsingh]

29. that's an excellent point

i also hate when tv people (won't call them journalists) thank their peers for reporting (lying) about a story.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

31. If he still has a job.....

n/t

[lancdem]

3. I'm with you

Wait till we find out how many people died and all the horrid stories.

[DrDebug]

14. They'll never give a correct figure on how many died

These are poor people, black people and elderly. The number is going to deflated to an 'acceptable' level.

[QuettaKid]

4. no way!!! the tide HAS turned...

call your congresspersons and just listen to the response the operators are getting. bush is toast.

[cbear70]

6. i hope you are right

but i am hearing msnbc and cnn whore for him again.... i am so upset.

[Sparkman]

25. Heckled them until they banned me from calling in. Sen. GaryMiller(R) Ca.

now I just email.

[tk2kewl]

7. and we will keep leaning on the press and sending LsTTE

[highplainsdem]

21. I don't think so, either. Kyra Phillips, for instance, is still

clearly angry about the pathetically slow, inadequate response.

And I don't think that calling that convoy a "convoy of hope" is whoring for the administration, as others here have suggested. If I were one of the people there desperate for food and water, I'd definitely see it as a convoy of hope.

Now, if the media were to let the administration off the hook later, forgetting their own anger and questions, I'd think Rove had won again. But my own feeling is that it won't happen, and this has done permanent damage to BushCo's credibility with the media.

[katinmn]

24. Yes, the extreme media focus perssured * to finally make something happen

It's late, but why shouldn't they report that cargo ships have arrived?

[OregonBlue]

5. Keep those eemails and phone calls going to MSM

let them know we want to see it all, not just what they think we should see. Their coverage has been really good, keep it up. Three cheers for MSM for once!

[tridim]

13. The media is locked out now

If you look closely, all the footage is on tape and it's being controlled. Even Bush's photo ops are on tape. I haven't seen the word "LIVE" on screen since Bush arrived.

[intheflow]

28. Agreed. Police scanners are quiet, too.

Very controlled feed of as much of the airwaves as they can control. :grr: :scared:

[GreenPartyVoter]

no. Too many people know the reality on this one. All the kool-aid

in the world can't save ** now.

8. The guys in the corporate offices can try but reporters & camera crews

are not gonna play along. Those reporters are getting a serious education and trying to pass it along to America. The emperor has no clothes and he is letting people die of thirst.

[William769]

9. O ye of little faith.

[mshasta]

10. well that was their game...now they are back

in full control....sad...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. All the 'timing' and 'image massage' in the world can't change the

fact of all the people who have died and are dying of thirst from more than half a week without water.

[durablend]

19. RW: "It's their own faults"

"Should've gotten out before the hurricane"

[gypsy11]

27. And don't forget about the

disease that's about to set in. All those poor folks have been wading around in toxic, polluted water for five days. No food, no water to drink... They are going to get sick. Just like they do in third world countries.
Those people have been murdered. Plain and simple.

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. Fine and when the next natural disaster or terra attack hit America

just remember that it will take FIVE FUCKING DAYS or longer for a relief effort to take hold and do something, so be prepared to fend for yourselves or die in the meantime! WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA! BushcoInc uses us for political gain and photo ops and absolute power!

[ComerPerro]

15. Hate to say I told you so

The fun thing about being cynical in this society: you're usually right.

Its sick.

[Spazito]

16. I don't think this will last, after the initial rush of covering bush and

the arrival of the supplies, etc, the media will go back to covering the length of time it took, who was responsible.

I think it is appropriate to cover the arrival of relief, it certainly makes me feel that at least they are starting to do their job and the people in NO are going to FINALLY get help, no thanks to bush and his bushbots.

[GoBlue]

17. There seems to be 2 camps on CNN

I see the "producers" being brought to the mike to cover for Bush but even Kyra doesn't seem to be buying the CYA propaganda.

[MidnightWind]

18. Nope--MSNBC is reporting now that in Biloxi Mississippi

that one shelter reports that they have not seen a single official there. Not one. Not yet. They are interviewing the disgruntled right now. David Schuster is the reporter.

[leftofthedial]

20. back to whoring

[mshasta]

23. big time!!!

the PIMP is in da house...

[Pacifist Patriot]

22. For the moment maybe, but I think the genie is out of the bottle.

[Cleita]

26. Yes, they aren't going to be able to spin him back into the bottle.

Those koolaid drinkers have three days of honesty to compare to the usual lies.

[emalejim9]

30. Death toll

The death toll will have its impact. I hope that is when the Dems will grow some spine. Point out the fact that the inaction of idiot boy contributed to the human loss total.

[RummyTheDummy]

32. I disagree

A reporter just asked Pickles about the "race" angle in this tragedy i.e. blacks being left to die. That's a pretty hard question to ask a first lady. I was impressed.

[bribri16]

33. The media folks who never went to NO may still want to cover for Bush

but I guarantee you, the ones who went and saw for themselves will never be the same, nor will the ones who have some REAL compassion.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

34. Let'm know how you feel!

Call Bush on his bullshit photo op:
