Bull. They didn't just read the news of the day. They produced a TV
show production which was deliberate anti-Bush propaganda as they had
done many times before.

But if they'd done an anti-Kerry piece you'd have been just fine with
it?

For starters, how about the columnists who were paid by the Bush
administration:

You forgot to mention what happened to those columnists.

What happened to them? Are they the subject of a Senate investigation?
Have the Democrats started a move to impeach Bush? Are they being sued by
the syndicates who carry their bought-and-paid-for "opinion"?


Or, perhaps, the fake reporters who snuck in to news conferencers so they
could feed Bush questions?

Like the reporters who prepped soldiers for the town hall meeting in Iraq?

This is so typical of your ilk. The issue isn't whether _a_ reporter
assisted _a_ soldier in how best to frame the soldier's question (leave it
to people like you to not even have the basic facts rights), but whether it
is appropriate for the highest elected official in the United States to
engage in deliberate propaganda by subverting a supposedly-free press with
huge cash bribes.

Try to stay on point. Of course, knowing your kind, the next thing we'll
hear about is Clinton lying about blow-jobs, right? After all, that's the
same thing as the attack on Constitutional government engaged in by your
administration, isn't it?


Or, simply, Fox News.

Why didn't you mention CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN?

Because they report news instead of disseminating opinion masquerading as
fact.


You're a Bush hater so you just follow the propaganda headlines like a
puppet.

Yeah, right. You should be ashamed of yourself. Answer this question,
Bu****e:

Do you feel the administration should be held responsible for paying
columnists to report the party line?

Yes or no?

Is this something that this government should do? By the way, the last
government official I heard of doing this was named Eichman.

So, what do you think, Bushie?

I'm not suggesting that America's so-called "security" isn't an issue.
It is, however, part-and-parcel of a negative perception of the US that
is the direct result of the policies of the current administration.

When the USA was all fuzzy warm with so many in the 90's we were struck
with our guard down.

We were struck with our guard down in 2001 because this administration
simply refused to listen anything coming from its predecessor. Did you pay
any attention to the actual hearings, or do you just depend on Rush and Fox
News for what you're supposed to think?

Follow the money and you'll see why some decided not to be quite as
friendly behind the scenes.

Yes, I know -- the money leads to Bush, Texas and the Saudis. Remember the
Saudis? The ones who directly funded Al Qaeda, who pay for the madrassas
that train the suicide killers, who obstructed our investigation of 2001.
You know who I mean -- Bush's friends.


Oil for Food fiasco is only a fraction. Some of those other countries
have learned or will learn the hard way of their own arrogance.

"Some of those countries"? Which countries? Do you mean our allies?

God, go out and read a NEWSPAPER. Learn something!

Just a matter of time.

What kind of crap is that reply? I didn't complain about anything other
than to point out the hypocrisy of the bias in this thread. Both sides
fling mud. So what the heck is your point?

Yes. The USA learned of its decades of arrogance on 9/11. Many
disagree and want to continue with the very same methods that failed us.
Not gonna argue with you. You have your views, I have mine.

Your cowardly views will guarantee that you will be six feet under in no
time at all.

Talk about twisting the facts to suit your own bias and hatred. The
highest elected official in the US did not engage in deliberate
propaganda by subverting a supposedly-free press with huge cash bribes.
That is the leftists conspiracy theory at work. The key here is your
assumption that Bush directed it.

I was so overjoyed when John Kerry got elected.

You should cease your running off at the mouth.

As it is you appear to be rather stupid.
