CBS leads with AWOL, NBC runs it second...nothing on ABC

[buycitgo]

hmmmmmm

[buycitgo]

1. CBS has documents shedding light on preferential treatment!

huzzah!!!!

[buycitgo]

2. four new documents from dead guy.....squadron commander

first one directing him to TAKE FLIGHT PHYSICAL!!!!!

THAT's the KEY, baby!

[aquart]

4. I'm more interested in the CYA memo.

Hope they put them all online.

[Longhorn]

6. And the squadron leader said that he was being pressured to

write a favorable annual review!

[Pirate Smile]

18. He said it was making it hard for him to do his job.

[grannylib]

3. Also front page of one major paper in this state; have not checked the

other. About time this got some damn press. Fuckin' loser.
W is for aWol.
Worthless waffling weasely windbag warmongering whore for the PNAC.

[aquart]

19. Worthless, waffling, weasely, windbag, warmongering, whore, wastrel.

[MoonRiver]

From the time that Diane Sawyers advocated the abduction of Elian Gonzales

from his father in Cuba, I've known that ABC is the Devil's own.

[Cha]

14. That's the disney family values

for ya! And don't even get me started on that whoresawyer!

[Scorpious_Maximus]

5. ABC has no balls!

Dan Rather is the man! :kick:

[cthrumatrix]

22. ABC is on FULL whore mode...they should be banned

there is zero journalism going on

[Lex]

25. Yep. ABC has consumed the KoolAid muchly.

Last night Dean Reynolds gave a harsh editorial against Kerry and tried to pass it off as some sort of objective 'reporting.'

It was literally jaw-dropping how biased against Kerry it was.

[buycitgo]

28. somebody commented on that last night....same POV as yours

their thing tonight was pretty good, though, til the very end

Dan Bartlett was on all three shows, I think, and he looked BAD on all three

very funny stuff on one, which I quoted.

total ironic projection, blaming dems for EXACTLY what they did re: swiftliars

[Scorpious_Maximus]

39. It's no surprise - with them being owned by Disney.

Disney doesn't want to offend the "Bush Family"

[gristy]

41. Huh?

Ban ABC news? :wtf: I take it you did not watch ABC news tonight. Enough said.

[buycitgo]

7. CBS is hitting it HARD!

this is fant ffffing TAStic!!!!

[aquart]

21. Do you think CBS is annoyed

at being fined for Janet's breast after they were so accommodating about the Reagan movie and one other thing I forget?

It seemed to me that they began to have a somewhat pissy tone after that.

Although my sister believes someone has had a heart to wallet with Letterman because he has toned down the Bush attacks altogether.

[buycitgo]

26. hard to tell, but they had some good sutff tonight

dunno about Letterman....I used to tape the first half hour over the last several months, but I ran out of blank tape last week

haven't watched over that time


they did do a good one on Cheney the other night: edited him to make him say: "I/m having a heart attack!"

[David Zephyr]

8. Thanks, Buycitgo. Please Keep Us Posted. CBS & NBC Shakeup CNN.

This is encouraging...even if it is FOUR YEARS LATE.

Please relay what their reports are. I'm not near a television.

[laruemtt]

9. this as they try to condemn

kerry for not being shot enough times. is there no end to their hypocrisy?!!!!! and now they say this is dirty politics?!!!

[Lefty48197]

10. Lou Dobbs is covering it well

.

[buycitgo]

15. now?

recap?

thxx

[Lefty48197]

32. Lou just promised to stop talking about the subject entirely

It was that younger guy who was covering the issue. He even mentioned Texans for truth etc.

[Cha]

11. Oh peter jennings(read disney whore)

doesn't have anything exciting to talk about?

[Gloria]

12. CBC/Radio Canada just did a piece on it and played the Texans for

Truth ad!!

My freeper mother went NUTS!!!!!

Now, on As It Happens, they're talking about Russia and preemption.
"It's like the world's gone crazy" says Prof. Goldman from Harvard, who is now in Krackow, Poland and was among those who heard the Russians live in person on this...

[IdaBriggs]

24. Tell more about your mother, please! nt

[Gloria]

33. She started yelling about how it's all untrue and proclaimed the CBC

as a bunch of liars! I said it was being reported on US media, too, and she kept on saying it was all a lie.
She watches FAUX exlusively. I have to think it is because of her age...she's 82. She raised me as a liberal. She was a history teacher.

She started to snap when Clinton entered office and it's been downhill ever since. She exhibits all the classic freeper signs...irrational hatred of Clinton, hates Hillary, denies that Clinton ever did anything for the economy, etc. etc.

I'm telling you, it's hell here....

[Pepperbelly]

46. kick nt

:kick:

[buycitgo]

13. WAIT a minute! ABC just ran the AD!!!!

"earlier this year Bush's campaign CLAIMED to have released all his records"

hahahahahahha

new release

this is a good one, too

Dan Bartlett is blaming dems for "recycling old charges, discredited claims, just as he goes ahead in the polls!!!!!"

I/m SO HAP HAP HAPPPPYYYY!!!!!

[Scorpious_Maximus]

16. 30 Million

Remember - On aveverage, 30 Million people watch network news at 6:30

ABC is last btw.

[Cha]

36. Now we know why!

News Suppressors!

[newsguyatl]

17. cbs has the goods folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[merh]

20. ABC ran it after they ran the piece on the disruptors at the

Kerry campaign...

Then they ended by saying that the fellow who made the ad (texan's for truth) said that * could have been on the base! (I guess he was on KP duty the whole time and peeling taters!)

[buycitgo]

23. they were definitely the most "evenhanded" with that final remark

neither NBC nor CBS went that far

CBS did a nice job promoting their 60 Minutes deal on this

those documents bring up the flight physical: two of the four mentioned deal specifically with the physical, which those in the know consider to be the key element in this whole fiasco, as there's usually (indeed, almost ALWAYS) an investigation into why a failed physical occurred.

somebody mentioned that pilot's NASAL PASSAGES were closely inspected back then!!!

how cool is THAT?

[Lex]

27. That is VERY cool.

The frigging lazy press should've been reporting this story in 2000 and we wouldn't be in the fix we're in now.

But I guess I'll take what I can get at this point.

[merh]

30. I don't think even handed is the term I would use -- I think

trying to cover the shrub's butt would be more appropriate!

Even, steven -- he was a deserter! ABC treats him with kit gloves.

[buycitgo]

37. that's why I put it in quotes

they did show the ad, though, and I didn't see it on the other two channels

anybody else?

I don't think they did

[Beetwasher]

38. Nasal Passages Closely Inspected, Makes Sense For Breathing At High

altitudes...No way Chimpy could allow close inspection of his nasal passage...

[buycitgo]

44. I'm pretty sure the implication was for drug residue, though

what you say makes sense, of course

[msongs]

29. lotsa anti bush news on cbs radio but....

it is all over cbs radio news....of course they are pimping for their cbs tv show 60 minutes...but I don't care. let em pimp :-)

[democrat_patriot]

31. CBS got 'scoop' - NBC and ABC will naturally play it down.

If they report it, CBS numbers go up. So they would not mention I would think....

[NYC Liberal]

34. I saw it all over today

CBS, NBC, MSNBC...and I've seen the ad playing on CNN 4 or 5 times so far.

Karma's a bitch, ain't it? :bounce:

[carpetbagger]

35. Maybe Stossel's doing a piece on wimpy purple ht. awards.

Outside of Nightline, it's been a good bit of time since I've listened to ABC.

[gristy]

40. ABC sure as hell DID cover it. Damn well, too.

They even mentioned the story in their intro. It was their 3rd report, after covering chaos in Falluja and Kerry's campaign in Ohio. Here's my thread on it, repeated for you below:

"U.S. Prepares to Gain Upper Hand in Iraq"
Violent opposition is law of the land
U.S. says it "has a plan"
No security patrols in Falluja
US plans on "retaking the towns". Soon.
- Slow squeeze
- Intelligence gathering
- Bombing
- Restrict Movement
- Iraqi forces to back up US forces
Summary from reporter: "Nothing has worked so far"

Next, reported on Kerry statements in Ohio
- Briefly showed heckler apparently getting "taken care of" in audience
- Kerry: $200B for Iraq, can't afford after school programs here at home
- Kerry: $200B for Iraq, can't afford health care for veterans
Followed up with a repeat of Bush's speech from same location 2 years ago
- "Hussein is a homicidal dictator and he has WMDs" or something to that effect

AWOL
Didn't fullfill obligations
After WH said it had released all documents, new Pentagon documents released (FIA-induced)
No record of Bush in AL
Quoted the pledge Bush signed that he would fulfill his obligations or could be called up for active duty

Bush in Fla
Helped relief workers hand out supplies... LOL

[buycitgo]

42. dupe

[buycitgo]

43. thanks....good recap....I did mention they ran it

upthread a bit

they ran the ad, too

did you see it?

I don't think the others ran it

[Pepperbelly]

45. Maybe this could be kharma leveling for the gop slash/burn style ...

of politics.

Almost instant kharma.

Pleasing.

:smoke:
