?!?local RW radio host - 'last nite worst liberal media bias ever' ?!?

Michael Delgiorno on KFAQ 1170am in Tulsa

said he was going to play the reporters' questions without the answers to show the bias - 'they had an agenda'

Their "agenda" was to get answers to hard questions. That's what journalists do.

I mean really..what's this clown want from our press corp... God they're like Nazis!

to the citizens, strengthening democracy by ensuring accountability of the highest elected official to all Americans, not just his supporters.

BTW, it WOULD have been a real hoot if * had called on Helen Thomas. If he had dared . . . .

He called on a couple of journalists I've never seen him call on before, Ed Chen, LA Times, and Don Gonyea, of NPR. I think shrub was hoping that they would be so grateful to him for actually being recognized that they would go easy on him. But Chen and Gonyea stepped up and just continued to hammer him. Even the Faux correspondent only laid off of Bush marginally, focusing on the faux FBI numbers. This just served to throw Bush another curve and sent him into another stuttering fit.

I think Bush was looking for a softball somewhere, anywhere, and bless their hearts, the press corp for once just didn't throw him one :wow:

He had them ahead of time. They picked the big questions so they could come up with the perfect spin on each of them before hand. It was scripted. You could tell when they departed from scripted questions when the empty look came back in his eyes and he wandered all over the place.

I particularly enjoyed his choking on the question about what did he think his biggest mistake had been and what had he learned from it. Of course he had to admit to making mistakes he just somehow couldn't think of any. Or of course explain what he learned from them.

Note, this was filed under the ODD NEWS section:


"President Bush grimaced, sighed, rambled and chuckled under his breath on Tuesday, before saying he could not think of a single mistake he had made since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Before the glare of live television cameras at his first prime time news conference in more than a year, the Republican president responded to many of the questions from reporters by repeating fairly stock phrases about freedom in Iraq and the history-changing impact of the Sept. 11 attacks.

But one question for which Bush was evidently not prepared invited him to name his biggest mistake since 9/11.

"I wish you'd have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it," Bush joked before taking a long pause. "I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn't yet.""
