5. Great job Lara! I'm sure they're all getting tired of being painted
as the bad guys in this unbelievable nightmare. They can only report on what is really happening - not the flower flinging and candy grabbing that Bush & his buddies thought would happen. Laura Ingraham needs to get her ass over there for an extended period of time, not just 8 days, if she thinks she can do better.

7. MSM caried the story of a California Service Man
Who was wounded when his vehicle hit an IED in the streets of Baghdad
just 48 hours after he arrived.

He said to our news people: Before I came here, I was told that the situation
here was exagerrated and that the bloodshed and horror was blown out of proportion,
but I have to now admit that what I saw on my TV at home was closer to the truth than you
can imagine

9. Iraq is total bedlam, anarchy, chaos, and the 7th circle of hell.
For anyone to report otherwise would be absurd. Only the Repugs and Bushies toadies would paint the story as all about the failure of reporters to get to the good news. Rubbish! Lara Logan needs to keep hammering away at CNN, soon to rival Faux as pure unadultered crap where journalism is concerned.

12. Gee an 8 day visit to the Green Zone by Laura Ingraham and she is an expert reporter telling
Edited on Sun Dec-10-06 11:18 PM by papau
the world the reporters in Iraq are going a biased poor job.

After Kurtz tried to justify Laura's bile and lies by saying she was in Iraq for 8 days, Lara repeats that "for 8 days" at the end, with the smile - and mediawhore Kurtz ran away.

It was a nice moment.

13. Kurtz is a media whore & never leaves his seat while passing professorial...
judgments from afar; Ingraham, on the other hand, was, while she was in Iraq; surrounded by marines in full body armor inside Camp Freedom, she does not even rise to 'media whore' imo, but is somewhere less than: hack http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/07/ingraham-voter-line/

Laura Ingraham's Paranoid Stereotypes

'Laura Ingraham is a fair representation of conservative political thought. Ingraham, who is a radio talk show host and prolific op-ed writer, is a graduate of Dartmouth College (Ivy League), got a JD from Virginia Law, specialized in white collar criminal defense, worked in the Reagan administration, and claims to be a friend of Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas. Her book, Shut Up and Sing: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the UN Are Subverting America (Regnery, 2003), is an attempt to define liberals and expose their "elitism". The attempt fails, but in the process one can only marvel at the abundance of crude stereotypes Ingraham divulges to her audience, etc'

14. Who the *heck* was that right-wing nut interviewing Lara Logan? That rude jerk should be fired.
Edited on Mon Dec-11-06 01:38 AM by w4rma
He spent most of his time defending and pushing a right-wing whacknut's attacks *against* his own associates at CNN. I wonder if most of the CNN employees hate that guy.

15. If a tenth of the violence in Iraq happened in the US it would be
constant breaking news here.

Lets see what's on Fox news now... Oooh, "Couple disappears on way to visit daughter in NYC"
