Breaking News: Snowball fights in Hell today, folks.

Washington Journal's Brian Lamb is being commendably fair to John Kerry today, reading from the NYTimes article about the SmearVets, showing the chart of the relationship between that bunch of losers and Karl Rove, major GOP donors, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, etc.

1. CSPAN is always fair
The difference is the press actually did its job today regarding the swift boat nonsense.

2. Brian often seems to favor the right -- guess you

haven't noticed. It's obvious enough to me that I usually don't watch WJ on Fridays.

3. Brian Lamb is a repuke shill!
The very last caller on the debate issue was finally able to call him out on his bias. Through out that show you are referring to, Lamb used phrases like "IF John Kerry is lying". If this guy would state a comment like that why wouldn't he mention the fact these scumbag vets for truth have been proven as liars over and over. Also what fair minded commentator would devote a good deal of time trying to downgrade other commentators as being right or left. The list of commentators are known in some circles as being liberal but once again what Lamb doesn't bring up is during the debates they will have Gallup not only chose the undecided citizens that will participate but also select their question PRIOR to the debate. This gives many opportunities for the questions to some how make their way back to Rove. There are NO spontaneous debates planned!

P.S. Lamb will have the Malkin repuke on. She is the one Tweety all but thru off his show last night. This is another pattern of Lamb, he is bringing her on to stop any train wreck that might have happened to the repukes from her embarrassing performance on Hardball yesterday. Lamb did the very same thing during the Dem convention, he brought on his show far right nitwits to trash Kerry over and over. His hope no doubt, was once again, to stop any positive Kerry was going to get from his great speech.

I always say news organizations like CNN are worse then FAUX because they try to pull the wool over the eyes of people in their sham of reporting. Lamb is the same way. He is WORSE then someone like a Limpballs because he tries to play mister neutral but is deceptively pushing his repuke agenda!

According to Malkin, she was thrown off:

6. He Did The EXACT Same Thing To A Republican Caller
I admit i don't see the right wing bias in Lamb that others here do, but i've been watching the Journal for 20 years, and i honestly don't see it.

But, your example is weak because he did the exact same thing to at least 3 Republican callers, including some dimwit from South Carolina who cared that Kerry might be lying about his service record, but didn't care if Bush never showed up for his last year. (Lamb's question was to the effect of "what if they proved that the president never showed up for his last year, and that meant he lied".)

I'm not going to change your opinion on Lamb, but if you watched the whole segment, you would know that your example of the last caller is unfair and grossly biased.

8. my suggestion to you is
watch WJ more when Lamb is the host! Your opinion will change. He is crafty about it, I give him that. I'm far from one who falls for conspiracy theories.

4. I thought he did fairly well today...
Edited on Fri Aug-20-04 07:35 AM by sadiesworld
until the end of the program. He seemed to indicate that if a bunch of brainwashed ditto heads think the NYT is liberal, it must be true. I would like to hear a caller (I got tired of trying to get through) ask: If the media is so liberal, why was F 9/11 such a big freakin' deal? It should have just been a regurgitation of what the "liberal" media puts out there everyday, right????
