"victim" of partisan politics, yesterday. They were not simply repeating what someone had said, they were not posing it as a question to a guest, they said it, as if it were a statement of fact, on their own accord. I do not recall ever hearing the media suggest that it was a right-wing conspiracy, during the Clinton witch hunt, and there really was one!

LTTE time!.. If you see any of this "poor Tom" crap in your local papers.. PLEASE! remind them of the facts!
1)DeLay was indicted by a grand jury in the state of Texas, made up of regular American citizens.
2) He is District Attorney Ronny Earle, who has prosecuted more Democrats than Republicans
3)Earle has been re-elected numerous times by the people of Texas

4. Then they're not reporters anymore, they're shills........
and have no business being referred to as reporters. You might want to make note of who these "reporters" are for future reference and a letter writing campaign exposing them.

5. Yeah,
I'm not disputing that this happened for a second, but which reporters did this? (I missed a lot of the news yesterday.) Thanks!

8. Why do they do this
Are they afraid of this pipsqueak? Do their editors tell them to defend him? Do they fear being labelled part of the librul media if they report honestly on him? Or are they just so fuckin stupid they believe his line of bs?

Wait until they get his butt buddy Abram jackoff under the hot lights. Even these whores may not be able to defend delay.

13. They fear losing their jobs and never being able to work in....
...the news industry again. For people that have never worked in any other industry, that can be very chilling.

One needn't look past Dan Rather to see the price one pays for pursuing the truth against the NeoCons. He's not the only journalist to lose their job over the last several years for reporting stories tht cast the NeoCons in a bad light.

Additionally, the media is owned by very conservative corporations who, until recently, all supported the NeoCon Junta.

14. Well, Tweety just bought that 4.4 million dollar home in Nantucket
that might play into his motives. Dana is a "skull and bones" member -

11. My rag was not
pro-delay, but they used the typical subtle bullshit wordplay. Marginalization-"some Democrats". Downplaying damage to rethugs-"they are somewhat concerned". Same crap different day.
