Cheney to give G. Ford Foundation journalism awards for WH & Def coverage
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=32&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

THIS IS NOT A JOKE: Cheney is scheduled to give out a journalism award. Rather than awards, he should be giving answers, apologies, and truthful explanations!

Vice President Dick Cheney will address the National Press Club on Monday, June 13, as part of the 18th annual presentation of the Gerald R. Ford Foundation journalism awards for outstanding coverage of the presidency and national defense.

Vice President Cheney, who served as President Ford's chief of staff, will represent the former president at this year's awards luncheon. The National Press Club luncheon will begin promptly at 12:30 p.m. Remarks will begin just after 1 p.m., followed by the awards presentation and a question-and-answer session. Reservations should be made by telephoning 202-662-7501. Cost of luncheon admission is $16 for National Press Club members, $28 for their guests. This event is for members and their guests only. Credentialed press may cover this event with ID.

The National Press Club is located at 14th and F Streets, NW, one block west of Metro Center. More information about the Club and its programs is found on its Internet Web site: http://www.press.org.

4. Let's start a poll
I am literally spent from refereeing 3 soccer matches, but if y'all give me a list of wingnut "journalists" who cover the WH and Pentagon, I will gladly do a poll tomorrow. It would be fun.

5. Is he going to pat them on their heads as good lap dogs? Has everyone
forgotten what the hell their role is supposed to be?

Woodward is now a tool of the WH instead of challenging it like in Watergate. He was at the WH last week because he is writing a book about Bush's second term now.

Is CNN getting an award for being a tool of the Pentagon's Psy-Ops plans?

Everyone is so f@#ked up!
