CNN's Reliable Sources: Amazed at Dana Priest's journalistic ability |
|
Howie is asking her questions about how she got the information about Walter Read Medical Center..."Did you sneak in?". He is just so amazed she got the story. I mean, this should have been reported years ago...she did a great job.....but she DID her JOB. Thats what journalists do Howie. Maybe the rest of you should start doing your jobs!!

1. But not one word about Halliburton, which is the whole story. |
|
We need media that will talk about corporate crime. The MSM are multi-national corps and they will never do it. WE NEED OUR PUBLIC AIRWAYS BACK IN THE HANDS OF THE PUBLIC!

journalists - seated, borrowing and commenting on other's work, maybe pulling out a file drawer at their office.
They have allowed all this stuff coming at the citizens and the world - what else can a person think?
right wing corporate entertaining-news networks right wing papers thousands and thousands of right wing guest experts being paid my someone
The worst are the networks - because they partner with the papers and mags and they invite the guest experts and tv is about the only thing most people have time for.
They are one big right wing military-corporation-political party war machine against mere citizens.

4. Whorie Loves Him Some Michelle Maulkin |
|
That's his idea of a "journalist".
Dana Priest, in Whorie's world, is a "boat rocker"...someone who has upset the applecart by bringing out the dirty laundry. She's pooped in the punchbowl and she better have had a damn good reason to do it.
Now he's got two segments coming up...one that is sure to slam Gore and then on Coultergeist's verbal assault and I will bet that will focus on us "librual bloggers" making this a big deal out of nothing...cause we're dirty fuckin' hippies.
This dude's sleazy tactic of being a "media critic", while being a political hack gets worse. Thank goodness for people like Duncan Black and Glenn Greenwald (among many others) who have called Whorie and others on their disengenous bullshit.

5. The "Balanced" Gore Panel |
|
Roger Simon (who I actually once liked reading 30 plus years ago when he could write)...working for VandeHei/Allen's new stenography shop, Eugene Robinson...the "token" who plays a "librul" and Callum who is a paid GOOP operative...working for one of the most right wing radio companies, Salem.
Yep...Whorie is got this issue covered by all sides...from his wife's rolodex.

6. O.k....now they are talking about Gore's "electric" bill. |
|
They are just repeating what they heard or read in that story ...instead of finding out the truth. It's like sitting around and gossiping about things you know nothing about!!

11. Consider the "reliable" source. |
|
Howie is used to repeating the lies spoon-fed to him by Karl or Drudge and reporting them as "news," so it's no wonder he's amazed when sitting in the presence of a real journalist.
