I don't think they were dumped--they didn't even mention it on the news at all. Did anybody else see it on the news? If so, how did they spin it?

2. Anderson Cooper 360 CNN
gave the most complete and fair report.

In one part of his report, Jeffrey Toobin discussed
the fact that WH officials actually ended a woman's
career for political reason's. She was a human
being with a plan for her advancement in CIA.
Her career ended the day the newstory identifying
her came out. She can no long associate with her
friends at the CIA. Because she is known other agents
cannot be seen with her--this blows their cover.
No matter how you dice it they really did not
have a right to do this.

Brownstein, guest on Hardball, tried some cockamemie
angle==The Democrats had better be careful. You know
the WH talking Points. The Democrats do not wish to
appear as if they are piling on. he kept chewing on this.
It was so obvious he had an agenda. Matt Cooper was
there and put things in perspective. He told Brownstein
so far things were fair.

I thought to myself, My God, this is first hearing
and we are piling on. screwing up. We did not fire the US Attorneys.
These situations keep piling up.

AP came out with some reports that would give one
the opinion that no one at AP really watched
the hearings. They were out to do WH Bidding
Snide--not deserving Journalistic respect.
