Impeach the Mainstream MEDIA! No memo question....SHAME!
I didn't see the Chimp-in-Chief's "press conference" but it has been reported here that not ONE member of the lame press corps asked about the Downing Street Memo.

How ironic on the same day that Deep Throat steps forward.....

Shows HOW FAR the media has fallen in this country.

EVERY DAMN QUESTION should have been about the POTUS LYING to the American people to drive through a war based on greed, lies and personal revenge.

IMPEACH THE MSM!

3. Its disgusting.
Unfortunately the reporters KNOW that one "bad" question will relegate
them to the back of the room with no hopes of ever having the opportunity to ask a question again. They should band together and agree to "sacrifice" one person each conference to get a "real" question out.

Eventually with everyone being at the back of the room something might change. In any event, I can't see much being worse then the hypocrisy that exists now.

4. If they were all to ask
and follow up each others questions the WH couldn't do a damned thing. They want news out as much as the reporters want it. They need the press corps, all they have to do is stick together and it would make the front of the room pretty noticeably empty. The so called journalists are just as immoral as this administration.

5. They should all RESIGN or admit that they are in the propaganda business
The pressure needs to come from the people.

We need to keep spreading the truth EVERY DAY.

12. Deep Throat

'Deep Throat' Reportedly Comes Forward

NEW YORK - A former FBI official claims he was "Deep Throat," the long-anonymous source who leaked secrets about President Nixon's Watergate coverup to The Washington Post, Vanity Fair reported Tuesday.

W. Mark Felt, 91, who was second-in-command at the FBI in the early 1970s, kept the secret even from his family until 2002, when he confided to a friend that he had been Post reporter Bob Woodward's source, the magazine said.

9. They have no balls
Edited on Tue May-31-05 12:01 PM by EnfantTerrible
Corpratism keeps them silent. The shame should be too much to bear, but they learn from the WH... no matter how far they fall, this administration will be lying in the gutter looking up at them.

10. Blood is on the MSM hands....
what a sorry excuse of human beings. These are the same people who ran with every rumor about Clinton and pounded Clinton and his WH with irrelevant questions. Now we have a situation where our sons and daughters are dying because of Bush's lies and the MSM will not Bush accountable.....what a country!
