Robert Shogan , Lecturer, Johns Hopkins University, Political Science

After an introduction by Mr. Ickes, Mr. Shogan talked about his book Bad News: Where the Press Goes Wrong in the Making of the President, published by Ivan R. Dee. The book analyzes media coverage of seven presidential elections since the 1968 campaign. Mr. Shogan described how the media have become enablers of the new power behind elections: fundraisers, interest and lobby groups, and pollsters. He says the media now obtains its information from these groups. He discussed the 2000 campaign and said it displayed the worst of the aforementioned qualities. Mr. Shogan took questions at the end of the program.

[paineinthearse]

14. "The $81 billion request includes money for Iraq operations"

IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION??????

[FrenchieCat]

15. They've got it "covered"

since this is added at the end ..."as well as money for tsunami relief."
Oh yeah, let somebody vote that one down!

This BushShit is just too too much.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

16. Kick! Clark on now!

[MoonRiver]

17. I'm so elated! Clark said he's not ruling out a run for the presidency

in 2008!! He really is sounding like a candidate! This is something I definitely did not expect to hear! I'm ready to start working for his campaign anytime he gives me my marching orders!

:loveya: General Clark!!!

[Leilani]

18. Looks like Wes & Russ are big pals!

When Russ left the set & Wes was going on, they had a big greeting.

They looked great together.

[Dinger]

23. I Can't See It Till I Get Home : (

Did he discuss his book: Winning Modern Wars??

[Leilani]

25. No

He talked about Iraq, & he got lots of calls about politics & the military...callers were positive.

One caller said the Dems were nuts not to nominate him.

[seaglass]

19. Wes Clark is wonderful!

We did have some great candidates in 2004, I'd pick Clark over Clinton any day.

Nice smackdown on the Michael Moore question.

[Dinger]

27. Tell, Tell!

What did he say about Moore??

[FourStarDemocrat]

33. He said he'd never want to take away his right to express his views..

just as he'd never try to silence shock jocks on the right, such as Rush Limbaugh who has said negative things and untruths about many Democrats him (Clark)in the past. He said that politics is a blood sport because each side is vying for the right to hold the highest position of power --the presidency, and expressions of opinions like this from supporters of both sides is what's to be expected during a heated campaign. He said that he did not know about George Bush's record of service at the time, and that it's apparent that Bush did not desert the army according to what we now know, but that there are "irregularities" in his National Guard records that did make it part of the many campaign issues, and that no one will ever be able to get to the bottom of it (refering to missing records etc), but he closed the statement reiterating his support of Moore and anyone's right to express their political views.

[Dinger]

38. Thanks!! (nt)

[Tom Rinaldo]

39. It took Clark less than a year to master shifting off defense onto offense

in politics, that is. Weaving Limbaugh into his answer with all the under tones of moral hypocrisy is classic. Clark is not at all intimidated by Republican hard ball. He now deflects attacks on himself into attacks on the attacker, and he does it smoothly without over reaching or any loss of poise, so that the last note resonates in his favor. It is a critical talent that many seasoned Democrats never fully master. Clark will be in full stride well before 2008, hell he seems to be there already.

Due to a problem with our furnace I missed all but the last few minutes live, so I will have to catch this one as a rebroadcast. Can't wait.

[FourStarDemocrat]

41. I'm also impressed that he was able to master this skill in less than a

year's time, but not surprised! Go Wes!

[Leilani]

46. Tom, you can watch it online

at C-Span.org

All of Washington Journal is always available. You can watch sections or the entire show.

[Skidmore]

20. Just gave an excellent response for free speech

for the left. Dem pols should sit up and take notes and quite dancing away from issues. Said that "Left wing shock jocks have as much right to speak as right wing shock jocks" and then pointed out that * helped Limbaugh skate after his drug charge.

[Leilani]

21. People calling in & explaining why they couldn't support Kerry

Clark defending him, but it shows they have a different mindset about Clark.

[Leilani]

22. He slammed Bush & Co really well

"They hyped the intelligence"

Rumsfeld slammed

Rush Limbaugh slammed

Bush & Natl Guard Service slammed

He got it all in, as well as praising the military, defending free speech, etc.

It was a terrific performance...the callers were ALL positive, except for one caller about Michael Moore, & Peter (host)from his remarks, had met Gert & he was really super to Wes...you could tell he really liked him.

[FrenchieCat]

26. I really like the way that he called Limbaugh

a Drug Abuser!!:rofl:

Loved It!

[ICantBelieve]

28. Yeah..

GWB's allowed to publicly defend a drug user but Wes Clark isn't allowed to defend Michael Moore's freedom of speech without showing a severe lack of judgement. That guy was an idiot. "Yeah, man, I'd rather vote for a deserter than vote for a guy who didn't wallop a guy who said he was a deserter." I also liked the way General Clark called the guy on having said that Wes had laughed at what Michael Moore said. The guy said he "saw" it. Yeah, well, if he saw it, how come he didn't know that Wes wasn't on stage and that Wes didn't laugh?

[Leilani]

29. He got so many smack downs in

All the while being such a knowledgeable gentleman...it was a thing of beauty.

How about Bush's guard service? I think he said that the questions
were left unresolved.

[FrenchieCat]

31. That question was certainly not "resolved"....

since instead, the media went hunting Dan rather.

I really do like the fact that Clark can really put in a hard slam, yet still appear so calm and reasonable.

He usually has a nice smile on his face while doing smackdowns...making them that much more fun.

[MoonRiver]

30. Yes, that was delicious!

:D Gooo Wes! :dem:

[FrenchieCat]

32. and remember when?

He said....Limbaugh certainly has said a lot of things about me that weren't true.

Clark plays a good offense. I so wished more Democrats were like that....

[FourStarDemocrat]

35. that's just one of the many terrific qualities he possesses...

An excellent debater, slamming again and again with g entleness and poise--with a sharpshooter's ability to hit his target. Clark is one in a million.

[MoonRiver]

40. He's setting an example, like the true leader he is!

Maybe the spineless ones will follow. Their tactics of cowering and compromising have gotten them nowhere.

[Sparkly]

34. Yeah, let's see if Limbaugh uses that on his show

I know Rush loves to play and replay clips of anybody talking about him. But using Rush as an example of rightwing lies and criminality makes it hard for him to snip out a soundbyte without having to address his lies and criminality.

[ICantBelieve]

24. Internet problems...

Is anyone else having problems? I can't get to CCN and I thought it was just because it was busy or something, but now I can't get to Google either. I can get almost anywhere else. This is bizarre.

Clark and Feingold were both just great. Luckily, my cable wasn't out!

[FourStarDemocrat]

36. Listen with live-streaming at:

Clark is talking about PNAC now!

[FrenchieCat]

37. Thanks....listening while I work!

[FourStarDemocrat]

42. Perle now trying to belittle Clark, & take credit for spread of democracy

Now he'll get a smackdown from Clark soon, I'm sure

[ZootSuitGringo]

43. Here's the thread for the Q&A that's occuring right now

and yes, Clark is smacking down a few. "R"s seem almost afraid to ask him any questions.

[WI_DEM]

44. The Feingold/ Clark Ticket, has a nice ring to it.

[Tom Rinaldo]

45. I prefer it reversed but I would love it either way.

I think a Clark/Feingold ticket would also more likely lead to victory, for several reasons. But now is not the time to quibble. They are both excellent choices for national leadership.
