RIght Wing Bill Schneider calls debate for Cheney

[goodboy]

on edit: He said Cheney was effective at making this election a referendum on John Kerry, as opposed to GWB

[goodboy]

1. On Lou Dobbs, right now...(nt)

[txindy]

2. But a semi-smackdown from Lou Dobbs!

He told Schneider he was beginning to sound exactly like the Washingon people he covers for CNN! HA! Repubs' Talking-Points Bill, Lou intimated.

[BootinUp]

20. Way to go Lou! LOL

Eggsellent. :)

[Cha]

26. Wow! Intercine wars!

I'm shocked anyone would call schnieder on his pandering..


And sorry bill..no "referendum on Kerry"...it's still on the bush monkey..

[DeepModem Mom]

3. Blatantly false! AEI Schneider should go the way of Luntz --

[goodboy]

5. I agree...Judy Woodruff oughta be fired also. Nt

[goodboy]

4. also he says that Kerry didn't really get that much momentum from the

debate...whatthefuckever.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

6. Lou Dobbs said that Schnieder sounds like one of the Washington Mob.

:kick:

Also, how can we make Schnieder go the way of Luntz?

[dogtag]

7. I just posted on another CNN thread -

Bill Schneider is nuts. He has no interest in what real people think? His reasoning on why Cheney 'won' is so inane: "Cheney mentioned Kerry many more times than Bush. The debate was about Kerry's record and that's not good for him." "Cheney looked more presidential." Yeah, like a dead president.

[goodboy]

9. I simply cannot understand that rationale? What does it matter

how many times names were mentioned? How about points scored on the issues?

[MoonRiver]

8. But of course he does.

Schneider sucks Dick real good. :puke:

[goodboy]

11. I thought Dick Sucked last night....(that's funny) isn't it?

[MoonRiver]

13. Sucker or suckee, who the hell knows what roll these wingnuts will take

from one moment to the next! :crazy:

[goodboy]

16. They all suck...some also blow...nt

[MoonRiver]

22. And they're blow hards.

BIG TIME

[goodboy]

28. and they can blow me....

[MoonRiver]

29. Not me though!

:D

[goodboy]

30. they should just blow themselves, and leave us out of it...

[MoonRiver]

31. I'll second that!

:toast:

[shoopnyc123]

10. Lou Dobbs is the man!

He did it again! Got under BS's skin! I wrote him and asked for more of that, and th ask about his fellowship to American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.

[goodboy]

12. What's happened to CNN? Have they been Roved?

[LibertyorDeath]

24. Have they been Roved? Yes for a long time It's just more

obvious now because they've gone into Maximum Whore mode to help the Idiot King

[goodboy]

27. like tweety and his camp. nt

[LibertyorDeath]

32. Once upon a time CNN actually Reported the News instead of trying so

hard to shape it.

No once upon a time for tweety he goes which ever way the wind blows.

[MoonRiver]

14. Dern, wish I'd seen that. I love Lou when he confronts the bottom feeders

[DeepModem Mom]

[goodboy]

19. done.

[rullery]

17. Schneider and Cheney look alike.

It is not surprising that someone might identify more with a person who looks so much like him. They both look like old men who should be put out to pasture, like old work horses.

[goodboy]

21. ain't that the truth...they must have the same alien bloodline...(nt)

[LTR]

18. Lou's great

The guy is obviously conservative, but he's the most honest guy they have at CNN besides Gergen. Lou seems like he would rather not play the silly little TV news games, and does things his way.

[Awsi Dooger]

23. The illogic was hysterical!

Schneider counted the references to Kerry and Bush, saying it was 65 times Kerry was mentioned and 35 for Bush or "the president."

Schneider's remarkable and desperate twist: that meant Kerry was the focus and therefore Cheney was the winner for making Kerry's record the campaign issue. He said if that continued the Bush campaign would "continue to have the upper hand."

Edwards intentionally and effectively brought up John Kerry time after time, every response, to promote Kerry's agenda and contrasts to Bush. According to Schneider logic, each one of those was a black mark for Kerry.

Damn, remember when Edwards instinctively said Kerry twice during the question when Gwen Iifel idiotically asked them not to say the name of the candidates? It would have been 63-35 otherwise, and we know every percent counts.

Whoops, I have certainly mentioned Kerry more than Bush in this post. Sorry.

[goodboy]

25. Great Post. I hope everyone reads this.

33. Schneider is a Democrat

Why is it everytime Schneider balances out his commentary with a poke at Kerry everyone at DU jumps up and down and calls him right-winged?

It is ok to cheer for the home team, but ignoring criticism will do nothing to enhance your standing. Bush has made a career out of ignoring discending viewpoints and it has led us to where we are today.

If Schneider is being critical of Kerry on a topic then it is possibly something Kerry needs to attend to. Afterall we are not talking about Bill O'Reilly here.

[BootinUp]

34. Proof?

I will eat my hat if Schneider voted Dem in 2000.

[undercover_brother]

36. no proof just my opinion

I am just going by what I have seen. He gives both sides but always seems more eager to give the Democratic viewpoint. If he is a Republican than he is doing a good enough job at keeping neutrality that I could not tell.

[goodboy]

37. Welcome to DU, but you're totally wrong about Schneider.

Look up the American Enterprise Institute, and see if you think it's a democratic organization.

[incapsulated]

38. Card-carrying member of a Republican think tank

Although CNN would never tell you that.

[undercover_brother]

39. How?

I am a proud flip-flopper and would be willing to change my opinion with more information. Do you have some websites for what you suggest? I thought Schneider was a Democrat based on watching his reporting for the last few years. I also seem to remember him having his mother on CNN for a Mother's Day thing and saying how his mom was a lifelong Democrat.

[incapsulated]

American Enterprise Institute’s Principal Issues:


*American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is a think tank for conservatives, neoconservatives, and conservative libertarians.
*Areas of interest include: America’s “culture war,” domestic policy and federal spending, education reform, neoconservatism, affirmative action, welfare reform.
*President George W. Bush has appointed over a dozen people from AEI to senior positions in his administration. AEI claims that this is more than any other research institution.

I hope this helps you.

[Trajan]

44. Its should be noted ....

The AEI = PNAC ...

Pure and Simple: Rumsfeld and Cheney manufacture the 'evidence' to rampage an unsuspecting world: and Bill Schneider is there at CNN helping them get away with it, AND attempt to hold power through media manipulation ....

Bill Schneider = Richard Perle .... Same idiot in the same greasy suit ...

[goodboy]

45. good point. nt

[Touchdown]

40. Watch him every Friday.

He NEVER gives his "political play of the week" to a Democrat. He dos this on Judy Woodruff's (Famine victim) and Candi Crowley's (caused the famine) "Inside Politics".

[goodboy]

35. I too would like to see proof.

[RummyTheDummy]

46. Schneider is in the Project for a New American Century

Not a lot of Dems in that crew. Of course you're just a dumb, un-educated sheeple Repug so I doubt you even know what the PNAC is.

But just the same, go fuck yourself, douche bag.

[Joe Turner]

41. Schneider can't conceal his bias

It was so evident. Despite that a heavy majority of Americans said Edwards won the debate, Schneider hangs his case that Cheney won based on how many times Kerry's name was mentioned. Never mind that Edwards must have said "this administration" 100 times during the debate. I guess "this administration" has nothing to do with Bush or Cheney...LOL.

Tell you what. You can tell Bush is sliding in the polls when meida hacks like Schneider shed whatever thin veneer of fairness they have and openly campaign for Shrub. Schneider basically said that most Americans that viewed the debate were wrong!

I suppose he's going to have that opinion when Kerry wins the election. They were wrong!

All of this shows just how desperate ShrubCo is that they have to trot out their "bought" reporters to help them hide the fact that Shrub's campaign is going down the toilet.
