An Apology From me To "the early show" on CBS!

[MarianJack]

Here on DU, we tend to nail cnn, faux, "today", etc,.

We frequently leave CBS's daily morning fest of bush/gop glorification. I'm about to remedy that.

cbs has several things to recommend it for consideration as the biggest bush ass kiss broadcast on the air.

Some brief lowlights of the on air "journalist's" styles include:

1 Harry Smith and his "OH BOY...GEE WHIZ" style of interviewing right wing hacks pushing white house/rnc talking points.

2 Hannah Storm's way of letting TOTALLY nonsensical statements go without question or comment. My 2 favorite instances were her letting an official from the department of homeland security get away with recommending we have candles and flashlights for when we lose electricity in the "bird flu pandemic" and then cautioning us to have plenty of DVDs handy to keep the kids occupied. She also (yesterday) let some talking head get away with commenting that we couldn't question the idiot in chief's "integrity" in his concern for the gas price gouging. Of course, Hannah never lets the opportunity to gush over any white house spokesperson!

3 Their weatherman, Dave Price, just returned from IRAQ and has been doing reports about the rw talking point about how the media isn't covering "all the good things" going on in IRAQ.

This morning, they had a woman from AOL on talking about web sites where we can find "cheaper" gas in our neighborhood. I, for one, refuse to run from place to place so I can wait in an 70's & 80's style gas line. I'm being gouged either way.

A few examples, but we focus on all the other networks so much, we tend to leave out the one network that caved to the right for broadcasting a true story in September of 2004. For that, I apologize to cbs. I won't forget them in the future.

1. The weatherman???? went to Iraq?

Well, who else to give us the true perspective.

[MarianJack]

3. Yes,...

...he was "on assignment" :eyes: !

[warrens]

14. He found a little girl who only had ONE limb blown off

That means she has THREE functioning limbs! But do the doom-and-gloom liberals ever tell you that??? No, all they can talk about is that missing arm. That's stinking liberals for you.

[MarianJack]

17. You're Right!

She has 3 good limbs. She should be thankful and greet us as liberators! :sarcasm:

[meegbear]

7. Nobody reports on how sunny it is over there ...

the liberals want you to think it's all rain, rain, rain.

[MarianJack]

12. They Forget to point out...

...that any "good" things going on are mostly being done by GIs and have NOTHING to do with the leaders who lied them into the war in the first place!

[zbdent]

16. Well, he would know

which way the wind was blowing . . . pun intended . . .

[Poiuyt]

2. I hate it when we lose power and have to watch TV by candlelight

[MarianJack]

5. YEPPER!

This straight from the department of homeland fear-mongering!

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. !

:spray: :evilgrin:

[myrna minx]

15. I know.

At least I have my electric can opener to aid me with the cans of tuna stored under my bed should the power go out. :rofl: .

[MarianJack]

18. I'm Screwed on 2 fronts!

I don't like tuna and I only have a hand held can opener!

I'm also not putting anything under my bed other than my shoes.

I guess I hate America!

[myrna minx]

21. You don't have tuna under your bed!!???!?! *collapses*

You *DO* hate America. Well at least I have enough pre-kneaded bread dough to bake in my electric bread maker should the power go out. :rofl:

[MarianJack]

23. Good For You,...

...you may KNEAD it! :crazy:

I happily accept a well deserved :spank: for THAT bad pun!

[timber84]

4. Did you also hear that really imporatnt piece of news that 20%

of tardy employees lie to their bosses about being late. Shocker I tell you I was just shocked!

[MarianJack]

6. I heard that, too,...

...but I missed the one about how 100% of U.S. presidents serving in 2003 lied us into a war in Iraq!

[NewJeffCT]

22. Next thing they'll tell us...

Is that binge drinking is popular on college campuses.

[peekaloo]

8. No. 2 made me LOL!

I can't stand ANY of their morning "personalities" especially Hand Job Hannah. Remember her oh-so-objective interview of Michael Moore? Hell one of them is married to Les Moonves or has she retired?

[MarianJack]

10. Last Week,

...harry smith was doing a piece with Bill Nye about Mentos fizzing in soda and starting to exclaim "WOW, GEE!" BEFORE the fizzing started!

No talent bunch of smiling ZEROS!

[Cha]

9. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

And the net work that fired Dan Rather and is hiring little perky katie couric and her mean streak saved for valuble DEMS!@

[MarianJack]

11. I Can't Wait...

...for "perky" natural disaster coverage!

[rkc3]

19. We got the bubble-headed, bleache blonde who comes on at 5

she can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye. It's interesting when people die.

Don Henley must be smiling a lot these days.

[MarianJack]

20. Smiling,...

...or shuddering at how right he's turned out to be!
