Hardball: CIA Leak Special on MSNBC now...

[RSchewe]

Tune in...

[rocktivity]

1. Tweety is directly involved in this case

if he's one of the reporters who got the Plame link. Shouldn't he have been recused from covering this story?

:shrug:
rocknation

[goforit]

5. A portrait of a TRAITOR ...Tweety thru and thru.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

37. Well, at least he's putting on a show on a Sunday night in prime time

...not that I am a fan, but I'm happy he is on tonight.

[Garbo 2004]

27. If all the media that had some knowledge of the WH smear job on Wilson

(whether they got it directly from the Administration or via the DC insiders & insider media gossip circuit) were recused from covering the story, the DC media corps would go dark. They'd have to bring in Al Roker and Regis Philbin.

What one gets from just Wilson's book alone, for example, is that the media in general knows a hell of a lot more than they ever fess up to or report on.

[Neil Lisst]

2. thanks for the heads up

it looks good

[Scout1071]

3. I just saw that was on....tuned in now. n/t

[Scout1071]

4. Dupe. n/t

[writes2000]

6. I love that they are nailing Cheney on his lies. And Bush on his...

"I'll take appropriate action against anyone who has leaked classified info."

We're still waiting, George.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

11. actually I remember what the chimp initially said.

remember this? he said "I'll take care of the leaker". I remember hearing that and just saying to myself, "oh great, the chimp's going to 'take care' of the leaker".

[proReality]

28. What he meant by that was...

he'll pardon the leaker.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

31. exactly. it was a deeply hidden psuedo-freudian slip.

or something like that.

[MadisonProgressive]

7. Look at the bias of the 'expert' panel!

[RSchewe]

8. Andrea Mitchell's tongue is in a knot trying to defend Libby and...

why he lied.

[RSchewe]

12. Kate O'Beirne is really going fishing with that theory... wow n/t

[writes2000]

13. Tweety just dismissed her.

[Gabi Hayes]

9. panelists:

Kate OBeirne?????

Dana Milbank...ooops....Mike Allen; which is worse?

Mrs. Greenspan????

John Dickerson

click

not worth watching these liars

just count the lies they tell about Wilson, for starters

click

[rocktivity]

33. DING DING DING! Gabi Hayes, you're our grand prize winner!

Kate OBeirne...Dana Milbank...Mike Allen...Mrs. Greenspan...John Dickerson...

click...not worth watching these liars...

THANK YOU! Dickerson's the only one who can even be remotely described as a liberal. And seeing as Tweety was one of the reporters who received the Plame outing, he shouldn't be covering it in the first place.

:headbang:
rocknation

[writes2000]

10. They're nailing Libby. Pointing out his stupidity.

[proud patriot]

14. Oh what's her name is on

x( not andrea Mitchel , the other one Kate
something I believe , I do not like her at all.

O'Beirne , kate O'Beirne yucky yuck

[janx]

15. Mtthews just reiterated what Russert said today:

The administration used to phone the media and complain if they had Wilson on.

God, the media has become an arm of this administration! ARe they finally starting to realize it?

[Garbo 2004]

30. They're not stupid, they've known they are an arm of the administration

for years. It's the folks at home watching, reading, listening who need to get that message.

[writes2000]

16. So far, Tweety is keeping the fire on the administration.

He's not letting his panelists get away with talking points which he personally knows are false.

That Kay thing tried to explain that this was so unimportant to the administration back in 2003. Tweety stopped her in her tracks saying he was in the middle of it back then and the administration was OBSESSED.

[CatWoman]

19. he's pissed about the way the media was used by the WHIG/Bush White House

[writes2000]

23. I'm so glad he's nailing the Judith Miller/wHIG tricks.

[deadparrot]

17. If this thing is really "all over," as the MSM says, how come they won't

stop talking about it, doing specials, etc.?

[WiseButAngrySara]

18. When was this recorded? Is it a re-run of Friday's hardball? ....n/t

[babylonsister]

21. No, it's new, a special edition. nt

[WiseButAngrySara]

24. Thanks. n/t

[writes2000]

20. Noe Tweety is calling out the WHIG's use of the media to take us to war.

[Gabi Hayes]

22. where was he when WE knew about it before the war?

which is worse, his smug Bushphilia, or his faux outrage after the fact, when he VERY WELL KNEW what was going on before the invasion?

he makes me so sick to my stomach

[janx]

25. Same here.

Ugh.

[writes2000]

26. He's guilty but I'd rather have him speak out on it now than never.

Many people watching this show will hear this info for the first time.

[laureloak]

40. This thread may help shed some light on Matthew's behavior

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5224750&mesg_id=5224750

[hang a left]

42. Yes, it now appears that * and the media have been victims all along.

:eyes:

[Garbo 2004]

38. Watch out! Tweety's slipped his leash again! (He does from time to time.)

Probably is a bit miffed that he hasn't been able to fart without a phone call from the WH complaining.

[CatWoman]

29. Shut the fuck up, Kate O'Bierne

damn I hate her.

[ncteechur]

34. So why doesn't anyone ask Kate O'Brien how Wilson was lying?

Was Wilson lying? They say it but they never say how he lied. And even if he lied--which he did not--that makes it OK to out his wife?

[ncteechur]

45. Andrea Mitchell is looking at O'Brien like what planet have you been on??

Shit how out of touch is this woman? She is a GOP ostrich--head been in the sand. She is as bad a Meiers thinking * is a "cool" guy!!

[RSchewe]

32. O'Beirne JUST LIED HER ARSE OFF! The British intel was not true.

I feel like pulling my hair out.

[Catherine Vincent]

35. Did you just hear her say that Joe Wilson lied?

She writes for right wing National Review. That figures she would throw that out there.

[Gabi Hayes]

41. this is why I/m not watching, per my post upthread

not ONE time have I seen anybody ask lying liars to SPECIFY what Wilson lied about, whether it's a newsho, or MORE importantly, a spineless "liberal" commentator/politico

nauseating

[proud patriot]

39. I loathe her smarmy attitude

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

44. "Friday was not a bad day"...She's insane. eom

[janx]

46. Unbelievable.

I almost feel sorry for her.

[RSchewe]

36. The British intel was based on the forged Italian docs, and the 45 min

claim was a lie, incorrectly attributed to long range missles when it was meant to be in relation to artillery within Iraq.

[Laxman]

43. Useless Blither

The discussion is extremely interesting as a spectator sport, however, when all is said and done it all amounts to nothing more than a load of useless drivel and spin. I would like to see Ms. O'Bierne face to face with Joe Wilson and have her call him a liar to his face. The shame of it is that as a nation we are so susceptible to manipulation by pompous official sounding accounts. Friday night I heard someone state that the CIA damage assessment found that there was "no damage" from this leak. I think it was Tony Snow. I could go down to the local barber shop and get into a discussion that is just as productive and meaningful as this crap.

[pretzel4gore]

54. it's tea leaves, or entrails,

it allows us to get some idea how the piggy's thinking, and how they're lining up their lies....the rest of the pigmedia watch and see what's the track, or tracks, to follow in local/regional news.. then they all act as if it's god's gospel, the real reaL dope, and the watchers among the herd are 'clued' in, if they agree (if they don't, they're terrorist loving scum!)
mass media is so self obsessed that somewhere there's rock solid documentation that 90 percent of the off peak news programming (not the regular eve network newscasts) get little or no ratings, but function to guide the pigmedia when they prepare their analysis of whatever crap bushinc and the corporate yahoo is selling...it appears to be a class thing. in the future, no one in media should be allowed if they had recent ancestors who graduated from university 2 generations in a row...that's one way to end the class warrior mentality that has infected newsmedia since the jerusalem post reported the terrorist thug and rabblerouser jh christ was finally FINALLY crucified!

[RSchewe]

47. O'Beirne said Friday was a GOOD day fro the president.

The withdrawal from Miers and the fewer indictments than expected. Talk about low expectations or standards. If that is a good day, I guess people who commit misdemeanors are good people since they did not commit a felony instead. Manslaughter is ok, it's not like it's murder.

These people have a twisted sense of reality.

[jazzjunkysue]

48. Tweety's always jealous when it's not about him.

He likes to bait the repubs, but doesn't really give a damn if we're in an illegal war. He's used this white house to get himself his own show. That's all he cares about.

Lying whores.

[jazzjunkysue]

49. Let's buy kate some eye liner so she can throw out her magic marker.

I mean, really.
:crazy:

[RSchewe]

50. LMAO, Tweety just compared Scotty to a cuckoo clock. n/t

[babylonsister]

51. Who is Mike Allen from Time, and why is he

so partisan? Not very professional...

[Gabi Hayes]

57. former WashPost lying suckass

http://mediamatters.org/items/200507280005

he's one of those who went on that Thanksgiving trip with the chimp to Baghdad, further soiling his reputation as an independent "journalist"

[RSchewe]

52. ...that was pretty lame for the most part. All pro-Bush panel. n/t

[Reciprocity]

61. Quote "All pro-Bush panel" Ding, ding ding.

That's what I was talking about on this thread.

It's all smoke and mirrors. NBC Sunday morning programs
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5222872

[Child_Of_Isis]

53. New developements (tomorrow) in the CIA leak investigation?

He did say that didn't he?

[RSchewe]

58. Sounds like it's just a tease. Nevertheless it is the only show covering

the leak case this much. I usually tune in to see what is new. David Schuster's reports pretty much make the show.

[Armstead]

55. REVOLTING -- They were having orgasims over Bush

That little jerk from Time magazine almost was creaming in his pants describing how Bush will use his formidable intellect and skills to "bounce back."

Nothing to see here. Move on.

After all that has happened, we still do not have a real fucking media. It's the same inside the Beltway trolls and whores.

[Punkingal]

56. Time reporter said Rove was off the hook....

Shit! Did anyone else hear that?

[rodeodance]

59. Tweety's BP is going off the scale--but what I saw he was good.

[Child_Of_Isis]

60. For some reason, I am not buying it.

I don't think he is clear. The media is being told that he is clear. But we all know Rove manages the media.
