4. ON-AIR? What a ... crybaby!
I'm sure she's not crying over what she's DONE, it's how she's being "attacked" for doing it.

6. that's my problem with wikipedia.. it can be so out of control on issues
... we think she is which is fine, but our side can also be smeared and I don't like the lack of accountability there.


but, you're right - she is :D

7. It's simple, Kyra: If you don't want to be called a right-wing hack
Quit acting like a right-wing hack.

I think even a right-wing hack should be able to figure this one out, no?

11. And as proof, just now, she asked Ramsey Clark if he preferred
Saddam Hussein to still be in power in Iraq.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ALREADY!

He had a good answer to her smarmy question 'tho:

"I don't think George Bush has the right to decide that."

Adding that Bush does not have the right to march into sovereign countries and overthrow regimes he does not like, arbitrarily.

Take that Kyra, you right-wing hack :P

13. Here's Nancy Pelosi telling her to get on the White House payroll
http://towleroad.typepad.com/towleroad/2005/09/the_pelosiphill.html

"Kyra, if you want to make a case for the White House, you should go on their payroll."

15. She cried about being called a mild name on the internet? On CNN?
This woman needs to either grow a much thicker skin or leave the public eye.

19. she's a RW hack and a war pig, too
I'll never forget her shameful performance onboard the USS Lincoln at the beginning of the war, jumping up and down all breathless and chortling for the pilots to 'wave for the cameras' even though they couldn't hear her and were on their takeoff rolls. War cheerleading could go little further.

A complete and utter fool, a fake 'journalist', a Bush whore and a dimwit. She's lucky nothing worse was in her Wiki entry.

26. her bio is interesting
Edited on Mon Dec-05-05 05:03 PM by dusmcj
four emmys. Not bad. Also noteworthy is the mention of "extensive police, SWAT and weapons training", and having been embedded with every military unit in the armed forces. Maybe she likes soldier boys... Which is not a bad thing on its face, but might indicate a certain bent to her politics, let's say. I could be rude and say that she has a promising career in one of those "chicks on full auto" videos, but since I don't have four Emmys, I won't. She seems to work hard, it may just be for the opposition (unfortunately).

So, to turn her, sell her on the notion that Democrats like Mr. Kerry can be hardcore guys too, except that they also know how to formulate policy to apply those tools in the best interests of the nation and the planet. Half the problem is that people don't appreciate the Neanderthal nature of the Repubelican policymaking apparatus, nor the bankruptcy of its treasury of intellectual capital (how's that for an extended metaphor - but if Condi Rice passes for brilliant, we don't need any more information about the standards being operated with, we know the score). "Oh, you mean we can make other countries cooperate with us without invading them and losing American lives and tax dollars ? WOW !!!! I never thought that was possible, the last administration always said we had to destroy the village in order to save it... Hey, you Democrats are hot, I'm gonna go tell my friends right now!!!!" Something like that...

Of course, there's the remote possibility that she's just a broad with no taste, and if given the choice between a doughy ponce who makes money any way he can and flashes bling, versus a dashing and steely-eyed prosecutor who would bust heads to put the ponce and his kind in the klink, she would go for the ponce. But until we know, let's keep hope alive...

27. interesting....
This appears atop the Phillips entry:

"This page has been temporarily protected from editing to deal with vandalism. Please discuss changes on the talk page or request unprotection."

And here's what apparently set her off:

She has been accused by liberals of showing a right-wing bias, particularly by the blog Media Matters <2>. In one instance, Nancy Pelosi accused her of asserting the position of the Bush White House during an interview with Pelosi following Hurricane Katrina.

28. Maybe she is left wing
Edited on Mon Dec-05-05 05:08 PM by cat_girl25
I figure if she really was left wing, she wouldn't whine about being labeled right wing. I believe a lot of these journalists get told to be more confrontational with guests and question them more, which is why some of them appear to be right wing.

32. Kyra's a nice, servile little Bushevik...
... doing Karl's work while she thinks she's working her way up the CNN foodchain.

Methinks many of these media whores are in for a rude awakening.
