Anyone listening to David Gregory on Tweety?

[Subdivisions]

What a complete TOOL!

We pressed the President. We challenged the President and the administration. We did our job. Maybe people should look at the Congress, etc.

[Teaser]

1. why?

.

[K Gardner]

5. Tweety and Gregory are BESIDE themselves that McClellan has accused them of not

questioning enough the run-up to Iraq War. They're saying.. WE DID OUR JOB.. the American Public didn't ask enough questions and didn't protest enough.

[Pirate Smile]

Scotty said the press sucked in the run up to the war. Gregory is defensive and trying to act like

the press did a good job during the run up to the Iraq War. We know that isn't true. Scotty's book has put the press on the defensive also.

[K Gardner]

2. OMG !! Its the AMERICAN PUBLIC's fault??

[Subdivisions]

4. Yup. It's our fault. We are the news people. We are the journalists. n/t

[medeak]

3. totally defensive

but have to admit...Gregory was the only one who was asking ANY questions

[Jane Austin]

7. In the run up?

Tweety and Wes Clark were the only people on teevee that I remember questioning the rush to war.

[Jane Austin]

9. This would be easy to check.

Everything David Gregory ever asked is on the record somewhere.

[tridim]

12. You forgot Helen.

We need to hear what she has to say about all this.

[gateley]

6. Could you give a hint what he's referring to? Thanks. nt

[zippy890]

8. He's pissed about Scotty criticizing the press (him)

Somebody call him a wahhhmbulance!

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. I don't watch corprat media and why would I? They are liars and feign indignation when one of their

own comes out and does the right thing. It is all bullshit!

11. Here's what David Gregory asked the President on the eve of war

This is from the press conference held by Bush on March 6, 2003, less than two weeks before going to war and here's the question David Gregory asked when he had the chance to challenge Bush on the WMD evidence, or the evidence of Al Qaeda in Iraq:

Gregory.

Q Mr. President, good evening. If you order war, can any military operation be considered a success if the United States does not capture Saddam Hussein, as you once said, dead or alive?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I hope we don't have to go to war, but if we go to war, we will disarm Iraq. And if we go to war, there will be a regime change. And replacing this cancer inside of Iraq will be a government that represents the rights of all the people, a government which represents the voices of the Shia and Sunni and the Kurds.

We care about the suffering of the Iraqi people. I mentioned in my opening comments that there's a lot of food ready to go in. There's something like 55,000 oil-for-food distribution points in Iraq. We know where they are. We fully intend to make sure that they're -- got ample food. We know where their hospitals are; we want to make sure they've got ample medical supplies. The life of the Iraqi citizen is going to dramatically improve.

Q Sir, I'm sorry, is success contingent upon capturing or killing Saddam Hussein, in your mind?

THE PRESIDENT: We will be changing the regime of Iraq, for the good of the Iraqi people.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. ...

[blm]

17. Dan Rather has admitted the corpmedia NEEDED to protect Bush for the favorable rulings they expected

from a Bush second term.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Hey if you want to see Dan Rather do what he does best, check him out on HDNet! He rocks there!

[blm]

15. Oh yeah? Ask them how they treated Kerry's attacks on Bush over ToraBora? Who did they protect

and who did they try to discredit as he tried to keep the truth about ToraBora out there?

[Kingofalldems]

18. I still remember the grilling Timmy gave Cheney

:sarcasm:
