PBS doing story on WMDs right now

[buycitgo]

they actually made the distinction between 'having' and 'had' WMDs

but they're speaking in the present tense about David Kay.

isn't he toast at this point?

now they're showing dumbo with Diane Sawyer, making him look like a petulant little schmuck

NOW they're quoting the Carnegie Endowment report, saying "he Iraqi nuclear program had been dismantled" in bold print

[buycitgo]

1. guy from Unscom and GREG THIELMAN are on now!

should be good

[buycitgo]

2. Charles Duelfer is the UNSCOM guy

he says there's very little likelihood weapons will be found

[Gin]

3. but he goes on to say...there was a threat....

gin

[buycitgo]

4. thielman now:

mobile labs which Bush said were WMDs, aluminum tubes, which Powell said were WMDs, we now know were NOT\

says they're "backpedaling"

not admitting mistakes were made

he makes big fun of dumbo saying to Sawyer that it DIDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE!!!! if we found WMDs or not

[beanball]

10. No big deal

if we don't find WMD according to Richard Pearle so get over it America,that evil SOB never put his sorry ass in harms way but its OK for American boys and girls have died because of a scam,that clown should be tried for crimes against humanity.

5. Duelfer:

they would have gone back to bad old ways once the inspectors left, and we went on to other matters

sure

[Cleita]

6. Thank God the GOP hasn't turned them into media whores yet.

This is the only American broadcast that still has journalistic integrity.

[buycitgo]

7. you give them too much credit

OCCASIONALLY they break the bonds whoredom.

this is one of those exceptions

although, Thielman tonight is being MUCH more circumspect in his criticism of the admin for whom he used to work than I've seen him earlier

[Cleita]

8. Compared to the infotainment we get on other news shows,

they are still reporting the news that matters, not the propaganda and spin that passes for news today. I think they have to give conservative views too. But I do like that they let each pundit have his say without the interruptions of the shout fests and that they do present both sides.

[buycitgo]

9. agree, up to a point, BUT

they're terribly skewed toward the right most times, especially when interviewing junta shills one on one (always are sycophantically respectful), AND when they have roundtables.....always slanted to the right

always

always

always

then, think back to the EXECRABLE, horrendous, disgraceful job Lehrer did during the 2000 debates

lost ALL respect for him then; will never regain it

[Cleita]

11. Lehrer is a Repuke isn't he?

I don't think though you would ever see the likes of Ann Coulter or the other members of the media brothel that regularly show up on CNN, Fox and MSNBC.

[DUreader]

12. That's exactly the point of the extreme right shows, they lend

a veneer of moderation to the more subtle propaganda and allow conservatives to appear centrist!
