Just when I thought it was safe to watch CNN, they put on another RR

[RoundRockD]

segment that attributed the 1990's economic boom to Reagan!! Their expert said that a president's policies don't show up until one or two administrations later.

I guess it's back to Lifetime for the rest of the day.

1. If that is the case

then Carter is responsible for the 80's boon and Reagan is also responsible for the early 90's recession?

2. CNN is WORSE than Faux because they fool more people

And Raygun palooza won;t stop for at least another months or so.

Whenever that stops, Bin Laden will be produced, sometime in mid-August, I reckon.

3. How does Begala do it?

Sitting there with that pasted-on smile, nodding reverently every time someone praises Reagan.

He's earning his money this week.

Alan Colmes school of democratic media whore hosts.

5. really.......this is sickmaking

I turned it on long enought to hear the squamous-celled Judy Woodruff say what a great READER Reagan was, how much he knew about policy, adn how much underestimated he always was!

how disgusting

Begala just sits there, like a mope

why don't they have the REAL expert on the Reagan regime, Mark Hertsgaard, who revealed the utter superficiality of this PR administration, using quotes from most of the high level perps, from Deaver to Gergen to Ben Bradlee to Brokaw to the Leslie Stahl, who admitted how completely supine the media acted toward those creeps.

here's my favorite quote about what went on

"The whole thing was PR. This was a PR outfit that became President and took over the country. And to the degree then to which the Constitution forced them to do things like make a budget, run foreign policy and all that, they sort of did. But their first, last, and overarching activity was public relations."

Leslie Janka, a deputy White House press secretary under Reagan
I mean, doesn't that say it ALL?

the proof of this has been displayed over the course of the last week, and it's getting MUCH WORSE as it goes along.
