Fema stopped Lester Holt (ABC) from reporting from NO> this morning
I was watching early this morning when Holt tried to do a segment on what appeared in or near Fema offices they were told they weren't aloud to record any footage by a young black man.

Please note; Mr. Holt wasn't trying to record dead bodies and such, just the fact that they represented a major news network.

1. What was that I heard... A broom sweeping the story away
That is the intent, don't allow reporters to do their job, then you control the story. Nothing out unless it approved by KKKarl.

2. You know, if the media has any dirt on this bunch of crooks and
any remaining integrity, they will put it out there. Step in and help save this nation, for pity sake!

i'll never forgive that idiot's disgraceful "Countdown:Iraq" show. Or was it Showdown: Saddam? Or Shithead: Warmonger? Whatever.

Does anyone remember that ass standing on a big map of Iraq, playing army with some retired bourbon-sloshed General, holding toy planes and crowing about shock and awe?

5. I'm fairly certain
The show was "Look: I'm Important!" Uh, no, Les, you're not.

6. I remember that. He was a CBS anchor in Chicago
for years and years. I 'thought' I was sorry to see him leave UNTIL he pulled the cheerleading crap for the illegal invasion of Iraq. Good Riddance, Lester!

8. Lester Holt is NBC. He hosts the Today show on weekends, and
reports on weekdays.
