Lehrer just apologized... |
|
on the Newshour for the remark about why the Arabic newspaper was shut down (inciting violence against the US). This had caused quite a stir on DU some days ago.

in the Gore/Bush debates and not asking any tough questions or any follow up questions?

6. So, who's he having dinner with? White House spin doctors? |

And does he believe EVERYTHING they tell him?

....for whatever else we think about him and/or the NewsHour - it as least does provide a no-shout zone for the expression of opinions and sharing information. It provides a forum for the possibilty of more in-depth exploration of issues.

10. Saw it. It almost made up for... |
|
Gwen Ifill's Fair and Balanced coverage of the Women's March, which was 50% about Chimpy (and inaccurate--it said he "cut off foreign aid funding to organizations that facilitate abortion"; he did a lot worse, and she knows it... I hope). Also included Chimpy's full response (blah blah partial birth abortion, blah blah abstinence education). Shallow Gwen blows it again.
