Potential negative fallout for Bush from the press. . .

[wndycty]

. . .the successful trip to Baghdad has the press on guard. Dana Bash just started a story with "President Bush is in Crawford, so we are told." It is very likely that there might be some times that the press will start really start questioning the truthfulness of the White House.

1. I just flipped on CNN briefly

the subhead under her report was "political fallout."

3. CNN really pushing the "coward" angle...

Seems pretty obvious how angry they are, but at least the negative view is getting out there. They played up the Iraqi view and also stated how this could enrage some to take it out on the troops... hmmm...I don't think Bush really wants to piss CNN off...too late maybe...oh well...

2. I wish somebody would ask him

how much the trip cost and how many flak jackets the money could have bought. Injured troops are being warehoused and this asshole and his entourage are flying over there for a 3 hour photo op. There had damned well better be polical fallout.

4. maybe the boys and girls

at cnn forgot about fox stealing their video feed during the shuttle explosion. could someone in cnn be starting to realize that there is no way they can compete with fox and maybe decide to tell the truth? who knows....

5. CNN's just pissed off they weren't chosen to be on the plane

and now they're whining like little kids.

They should be pissed. They're as big of whores as Fox.

6. Brown's sub, Lin (?) was interviewing a reporter from Al-Jazeera and

he was explaining how this trip was basically going to provoke hostility because Bush ignored the Iraqi people...and didn't have an invitation to come to a sovereign nation......going just to the troops really could hit a raw nerve.

Lin exclaimed, off camera, "Gee, the Bush Admin. maybe didn't think of that!" (sic)

And you know....they didn't!

7. sovereign nation?

8. CNN was next in line according to a

a report on MSNBC. Fox cameramen were chosen instead.

I guess CNN is a little p*ssed.
