Norah O'Donnell: Bush's avian flu speech will probably still lead news

[ticapnews]

tonight. Will be interesting to see if her prediction is right, or if nightly news programs will lead with the treason of the administration and the complicity of the GOP majority in Congress...

Anyone want to take bets?

1. She wishes. nt

2. Bush has avian flu?

3. About 35 years ago?

Maybe that's why he had to leave the national guard early? :P

4. bush can't even spell avian flu.

he must think people get it from drinking that fancy french bottled water.

5. Well that's the news programs' choice. Not an indication of what story

is inherently more significant and newsworthy.

Right now MSNBC is once again covering the girl missing in Aruba story. She's still missing. 'Nuff said.

[babylonsister]

Wrong, Norah! CBS opens with the Senate, and a long story

it is!

[MO_Dem]

8. Yep! First the Senate story

next Alito. Maybe flu will be story #3? Norah must have been following repig script.

9. Good on CBS and ABC...

shame on NBC.

Norah was 1 for 3...

6. NBC Nightly News: Possible pandemic...

ABC/CBS: Leading with Reid outmaneuvering Frist and the GOP...

6:35 PM and NBC is still talking about the coming plague...

7. Took NBC six minutes to get to the closed session story.

calling it "a brazen move"

10. She's just another so called reporter on the WH payroll.

A lot of taxpayer money going into offshore bank accounts of so called reporters. She's a Judy wannabe.

[elperromagico]

13. So her network's news program opened with the story she said they would?

Holy shit! It's like Nostradamus.

[pdxmom]

11. She's a perfect example of a media whore. n/t

12. I actually think Norah is getting better

It used to be so painful to listen I'd just mute and drool. Now she actually makes some decent points on occasion, like last Friday when she kept saying there had to be a reason Scooter Libby was lying to the grand jury about the coverup, something more sinister he was trying to hide.

Norah's kind of a simpleton, or at least overly smiling and nice, and I think that's why she gets somewhat of a bad rap as a Bush apologist. If she were covering the White House during a Democratic president's term I'm sure she'd come across as positive and favoring us.
