Media Alert! CNN Malveaux using VT to bolster Bush approval!

[saracat]

Malveaux is comparing Bush's VT appearance to the 9/11 "bullhorn moment" saying he will once again "unite the country ". Please write CNN and protest this blatant politicization of a tragedy. Also the reporter introducing her said Bush was good at these events as he had handled so many tragedies, citing Katrina and other incidents. Tribute to a man who has yet to attend a single soldier's funeral!

[BOSSHOG]

1. Good at Katrina - that's a helluva chuckle

[pacalo]

10. Un-be-lievable.

[marylanddem]

2. Malveaux is such a shill.

[Felix Mala]

3. I think a growing majority sees him as shrinking and no longer able

to take charge of events. Maybe if he rode in on an ambulance wearing an EMT uniform.

[Deep13]

4. Whore! Tool!

Yeah, he really stepped up to the plate for Katrina.

[blm]

5. The corpmedia has been deifying the Bushboy since 1999, and they JUST WON'T STOP!

It just gets WORSE, especially when he should be garnering BLAME from them for most of what's occurred.

[bluestateguy]

6. Bush shouldn't even be in Blacksburg

The media pays too much attention to him anyway.

[ChiciB1]

7. AWWW, GAG ME!!! They Just Will NEVER LEARN!!

I say, keep the GUN LAWS in place!!!

I don't own a gun, WOULD NOT own a gun AND am not an NRA type, but hey you know what they say, GUNS don't kill people, PEOPLE kill PEOPLE!

Whoops, the men in black are knocking on my door right now!

[BOSSHOG]

11. Interesting

because according to the second amendment the founding fathers wanted the citizenry to be armed with guns to kill the enemy and protect the country. Could be considered an honorable reason. But the NRA wants everyone to be harmed to the hilt for whatever reason they want and then blather on about people killing people. They make a fortune purposefully fucking up the intent of our former leaders.

[ChiciB1]

20. I Was Being Sarcastic... Guns DO Kill People!

My attempt was sort of a "tongue in cheeck" comment!

[Captain Hilts]

8. Really! How does she know? Shameless cheerleader. nt

[DURHAM D]

9. He will be lucky if the students don't protest or stand up and

turn their backs to him while he is talking.

Wonder if they contacted the young Republicans and requested them for crowd duty.

[partylessinOhio]

15. They will love the first couple in Bush Country.

When it was announced that "he" was arriving, the crowd moved to that end of the stadium to be near him. Gag me!

Look at the people in attendance, they don't impress me, just shows me what is wrong with academia.

[lancdem]

12. The media still doesn't get it

The vast msjority of people in this country wish Bush would just friggin' go away. The other 30-35 percent are the only ones who give a shit.

[Supersedeas]

16. the use of a national tragedy to bolster ratings -- Television and Corp. Politics

[Cha]

18. The corporatemedia are Fascist Whores and

they get that propping up bushit is what they must do. They obviously are seeing this tragedy at Virginia Tech as a way to make fuckhead seem almost human.

Like the tragedy of 9/11 took bush's numbers of 9/10 and turned them around 180.

The US mediawhores need to go.

[Throwing Stones]

13. good grief

[asjr]

14. Before Malveaux appears again, CNN must

tell the public that Malveaux is not a reporter/journalist but an opinionator hired by the WH to keep spewing crap. This is certainly not truth in advertising for the public. But it just underscores how this administration operates. Someone, somewhere, is making oodles of money.

[Cha]

17. Fuck cnn for using this tragedy

to bolster bushit's sagging numbers because of the Gigantic Tragedy he perpetrated in Iraq with his lies killing Iraqis and our Soldiers..just Fuck Them.

Can't everyone see through this?

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. "once again unite the country"???

The only uniting he has EVER done is to unite (most of) the country against *him*!

These faux "journalists" make me want to puke! GAHHHHHHHHHH!

[Arugula Latte]

21. And THAT, CNN, is why I get my information from the Internet and not from you media whores. nt

[otohara]

22. Bullhorn Was Needed During Katrina

where was Bush Ms Malveaux?

Didn't ya just know yesterday that the MSM would use this tragedy to prop up shit for brains president?

[saracat]

23. That was my Dear Hubby's first reaction! "How will they use this to prop up Bush? "

[Supersedeas]

24. he was playing his Geee'tar and watching the DVD show--Suzzaaannne remember?

[Mz Pip]

25. Bullhorn moment

my ass. What a crock. THe country needs uniting alright, but Bush isn't the one to do it. If he can politicize VT to his advantage he and his minions will do so. That's what Bush does best.

"Out of respect for the students who died at VT, the Democrat Congress needs to send me a clean Iraq War Funsding Bill. We must not allow them to have died in vain." I wouldn't be surprised if he says something like this.

[AuntPatsy]

26. My God, when is enough going to be enough...this is beyond the pale....

Enough already..:mad:

[dennis4868]

27. Why would anyone...

ever listen to what these media whores have to say? Time after time they lie to us in the hope it will bolster Bush's numbers and it never works or Bush himself lets them down. Bush is a criminal thug who happens to be in the WH, he is ruining our country and the world in so many ways that it will take the next 25 presidents to fix this if it is not too late and these media whores keep trying to bolster him up....they are just as guilty as the Thug In Chief!

[AX10]

28. There is no difference between CNN and Fox.

I HAVE PURE HATE FOR THE MSM! They deserve it.

[depakid]

29. We all knew that this was going to happen

and Kaine didn't help matters any.

[AX10]

31. What did Kaine say/do?

[depakid]

32. Just poured out some gushing praise

I understand why he did it, but one would hope that he could temper it some. No sense in going overboard and making Bush out to be something he is not, even under these circumstances.

[MasonJar]

30. Please provide a link to CNN. Are you sure this wasn't satire? It surely sounds like it.
