2. No, that's not what she said.
She said, "If you can STOMACH it."

The thing I can't stomach is CNN.

4. And just now they had a Glenn Beck commentary
Before I could get to the mute button, "The American people don't want us to end the war in Iraq and bring the troops home they want us to WIN. And the democrats mis-management of this war is causing deaths.".

You know something - it is a wonder someone doesn't hold this asshole down and stick a sock of shit in his mouth.

28. Go ahead, sue 'em -- you'll lose.
February 2003, a Florida court rules in favor of Fox News, saying they can lie and they can force their newscasters to lie if they so choose:

http://www.livevideo.com/video/rclark23/E0CA4ABF389C4509AF810224FE0A7D76/us-courts-fox-news-ok-to-lie.aspx

After Fox News suppressed a piece its own investigative journalist team
did revealing widespread more... contamination of the US milk supply by ... all
Monsanto's rBGH ('Posilac') hormone product, a Federal Court in Florida
ruled that Fox and the media in general have no obligation to tell the
truth. The FCC policy about 'Truth in Reporting' was only a guideline and
not obligatory! In fact - get this - they can actually require their staff to
lie for them, and fire them if they won't.

46. Yes it is absolutely unbelievable!
But there is one good thing about the ruling: it puts to rest any illusions we might have still harbored about the nature of our media, and the nature of the enemy we oppose.

Remember, military law allows you total leeway to "lie to the enemy in the field". Also police procedure allows them to lie through their teeth when they are talking with suspects -- "enemies".

So just remember, that is what the American population has become in the eyes of the corporate masters: the enemy.

It will help us to keep that in mind.

49. For those of us who might have forgotten...
Highlights: The clip starts with what sounds like “ASSHOLES.” Then Kyra talks about, presumably, a boy of some sort: “No ego… you don’t understand., just a really passionate, compassionate human being. And they exist! They do exist. They’re hard to find—”

COWORKER: “Yep.”

KYRA: “But they… are out there.”

Thankfully, “Mom” seems to approve (“good vibe”)

Then, Kyra again: “Of course brothers hafta be, you know, protective. Except for mine. I gotta be protective of him. Ugh, yeah. He’s married, three kids, but his wife is just a control freak.”

Then the best part:

WOMAN: Kyra—

KYRA: Yeah baby—

WOMAN: Your mic is on.

ANCHOR: All right, we’ve been listening in to…

36. Let me start out by saying
..yes, I do remember that name kyra phillips on cnn and she has a reputation for suckling at the corporate teat with no regards to the truth or our Democracy in the USA.

If kyra were to caveat on anyone being "stomached" on their whore station I would say she should bellow that out loud and clear right before they put the camera on bush, cheney, rice, or any of those fascist' snouts.

But, she'd never do that because she would be fired instantly.

51. Moore pulled a Jon Stewart. They're terrified. Remember what happened to Cross Fire.
Edited on Tue Jul-10-07 03:44 PM by autorank
They can't back down any more than Begalla and Tucker could back down. They're stupid enough to
put that fatuous Gupta up against Moore to get an audience but risk again a verbal beat down.
Moore has no reason to hold back. His response to Gupta's piece is devastating. And, Gupta
made a defamatory accusation against Moore-"fudging the facts" implies intent. First the facts
were accurate. Seocnd, there's no reason to imply intent if the facts are accurate. Even if he
made an error, why say he "fudged" rather than "he's wrong on this." When Gupta brings up being
an embed or performing "neurosurgery" in Iraq, you'll know it's all over.

They're risking a lot. Moore could take them down several pegs.

The "wild man" Ted Turner (a business genius, btw) ran a first rate journalism shop. Daniel Schoor as
the first news director said it all...the truth, no bull shit. Now these sophisticates from Time
Magazine have screwed it up.

The franchise is approaching negative value by insisting on being on the wrong side of this issue.

Gupta's best move could be to appologize for the "fudging" factor and hop on board quickly supporting
Moore. He won't. It will be a great night.

60. Moore and Gupta are going to be on Larry King tonight.
(Unless, as another poster said, "unless Paris breaks a nail.)

Moore was bumped from LK last week when SiCKO opened because Paris got out of jail that day. :eyes:

There could be some fireworks tonight though!

53. The upside to the impending Republican implosion is that all hands are oin deck!
They can no longer be subtle about their bias...they are coming right out and telling us who they are siding with. Some, like Beck, are obvious RW parrots...Kyra has always been subtle about her bias, but apparently no longer. It's fun to see the MSM start to show their true colors. We might also see who starts joining KO. You're either with us or against us. Start choosing sides MSM!
