Local news says people dont think Rumsfled should resign
I turned on my local news and they began reporting on Rumsfled's testimony today, so they turned over to a reporter who "interviewed" local people. By interviewing 3 people she came to the conclusion that people in this area generally agree that Rumsfled should not resign!!! WTF!!! Since when does the opinion of 3 people represent the opinion of everyone...and you also mean to tell me that they couldnt find anyone who thought Rumsfled should resign??? If this is considered journalism then we're all fucked!!

I'm in Binghamton NY if anyone cares.

1. Maybe your local affiliate got the news from on high -
"Americans don't want Rumsfeld to resign - got that? That's what you report - got it?"

I say fine. Let them keep him. They're shooting themselves in the foot again. They could fire Rummy and make him take the fall for this. But no, they'll stick together like glue, and they'll all fall together.

Edited on Fri May-07-04 05:23 PM by sfg25
Yesterday on sfgate.com they had a vote and here are the results when I screen captured it:

Should bu$h fire rummy the dummy over Iraqi abuse scandal?

Yes, failed to warn stupid pre$, set wrong tone
- 3%

No, it's the Army's mess
- 7%

Voters should fire the whole misadministration
- 90%

Total vote: 3040

Must be something in their water.
