I only saw Cheney spewing his usual venom.

I know Reid held a press conference where, among other jewels, said he isn't going to engage a guy who's at 9% in the polls.

But, did Reid also get air time today, too, or is a report all we'll get of him from the crack(head) media?

3. I know that's what he said, but did he get to say it on live teevee?

2. If he's healthy enough to spew his venom on live air,
he's healthy enough to have Articles of Impeachment introduced against him.

Go Dennis K!

6. Not as much....
Usually they show Cheney spewing his venom and read Senate Majority Leader Reid's response! The msm/cable administration flunkies refuse to acknowledge that, the Democratic Congress is equal to white house and deserve any respect! :grr:

8. MSNBC even said they were looking at monitors that showed Schumer and Reid responding to Cheney.
Did they show Schumer and Reid's responses. Not to my knowledge. I checked CNN. Neither did they.

WTF is wrong with these people. I was just reading Glenn Greenwald writing in Salon about David Halberstam's criticize of journalism today. I highly recommend reading it. Here is an excerpt:

On the collapse of the American press

David Halberstam -- November 7, 1999:

I thought that with the end of the century approaching, it might be a good time to take stock of where this profession is. Obviously, it should be a brilliant moment in American journalism, a time of a genuine flowering of a journalistic culture . . .

But the reverse is true. Those to whom the most is given, the executives of our three networks, have steadily moved away from their greatest responsibilities, which is using their news departments to tell the American people complicated truths, not only about their own country, but about the world around us. . . .

What I think is happening is something extremely serious,nothing less than a change in the value system in a very important part of the news business.
At the core of the old value system was a belief on the part of the men and women who worked in journalism that this was an uncommonly privileged life, that we did not do this for the money -- almost all of us could have made a great deal more money in some other field, but we were uncommonly privileged, free men and free women working for a free press in a free society, beneficiaries of exalted constitutional freedoms, willing, if need be on occasion, to report to the nation things which it did not necessarily want to hear.

What has changed is not the talent and idealism and passion of the journalists out there, but the value system which governs the way they work, and finally what gets in the paper or on the air. . . .

9. After how the Congresswoman EXPOSED the BS the media is pulling
at the Tillman hearing today, you would think they would at least TRY TO APPEAR to have their shit together. F*cking bastards. Can you believe that they continue to protect Mr. 9%?

10. Unfortunately, I can believe that they continue to protect Mr. 9%. It's what they do.

12. What it is is an abdication of their responsibility as journalists to speak truth to power.
And shame on them all!
