1. Thank you for this. I couldn't find much live information on this.

It says a lot about our so called Liberal media when none of the cable networks other than FOX NEWS had any coverage or even mentioned this important hearing. Oh, and include C-SPAN channels in with this criticism.





Here is a little piece from the AP.

2. Thanks.

The Boston Globe as an article on this

As does the local ABC affiliate in El Paso.

And Kerry has an editorial in the LA Times

Mexico's war must be our war
Helping Mexico take on the drug cartels helps us, but the effort will require unprecedented cooperation between our two countries.

3. Awesome! Thanks. :) Do you know if there's any video of this yet?

The live event page (of course, I'm seeing this after it started and it might even be over by now, so..) just shows a Twitter like thing? Still neat to see the play-by-play of it, though. Hope C-Span covers it, at least!

4. Thanks for posting

Just do yourself a favor, everybody. DON'T read the comments at the end of the article. My, don't WE hate JK in West Texas!! Comments about Lurch and Herman Munster. Republicans are SUCH adults in a public forum. Apparently if JK shows up, it's obviously a joke.

What is happening to the people in border states of Mexico is no joke. All of them are living in fear.

5. I think it may be the same "brilliant" group of RW idiots who

manage to always be the first several posters in the Boston Globe. My guess is that they need to do that to reassure themselves that there really can't be a serious, accomplished, eloquent, clean, liberal Democrat, who really is a war hero and a real guy, who can participate in hockey games, 100 plus mile bike rides, and windsurf at 65. Not to mention it completely annoys them that Teresa Heinz married him. Looks pretty darn good in comparison to their "champions".

6. Here is a little video from the hearing ....... from the local Fox News

but it is surprisingly good. http://www.kfoxtv.com/video/19050457/index.html

(Non content related comment - they got some very nice close ups.)

7. I thought it was nice that many of the comments showed appreciation for Kerry and the panel

coming to Mexico to hold the hearings on this issue.

8. Coming to Texas, near Mexico

I thought that nice too. I also thought that the coverage on Fox and in the local newspaper was both positive and detailed. The newspaper impressed me - especially because of the live blog they set up, which is still the most detailed information available. There's still no video on the SFRC site, so it may be that they did not make a video - which really is a shame because it is a good hearing from the live blog.

9. You're right. I didn't pay as close attention to the geography of all this as I should have. n/t
