The Bush Admin is trying to put a total press blackout on the ports issue! |
|
Just went to Google - no stories on the ports. I'm watching both CNN & MSNBC and switching between them. Nothing on the ports.
They're trying to redirect our attention to the violence in Iraq (which is horrible) and Bush's Katrina report (which is a tissue of lies).
Rove is out there telling people to shut up or else, I can feel it!
And what about them saying in the hearing today that once the ports deal has been approved, it's a done deal and they can't do anything about it? Saying Bush can't legally reopen the review, implying that Congress can't stop it, etc.

8. The random culling of articles can't be used to claim any kind of bias. |

2. Get out the hammer and bang away, I tell you. |
|
Besides, I have a feeling that Rove doesn't quite scare Cafferty, Dobbs, and KO.

7. The clamp down began last night... |
|
... when Blitzer & Matthews (despite repeated corrections) kept saying "foreign company" instead of "foreign government-owned company."
