you guys will not BELIEVE this! UNBELIEVABLE

[newsguyatl]

just got word here at work that rumsfeld is going to hold a pentagon briefing at 2p today... originally held for 12:30p today, just changed it

why is this relevant? because the House-Senate committee is also having a 2p presser on the 9-11 report!!!

pentagon is doing this so the 9-11 presser won't get air! they knew all the networks were gonna cover the 9-11 report briefing... but now with the death pics release, pentagon knows they'll get air!

unFUCKINGbelievable, the audacity of these people!

1. If you get control of the media, then the rest will

fall in place.

[Skidmore]

11. ...and Bushco is going to fight for the right to control the media...

Bush Fights Congress on TV Cap Roll Back

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Thursday it would fight in Congress to strip out language in a bill that would prevent television broadcasters from owning local stations that collectively reach more than 35 percent of the national audience.

The Republican-controlled Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) on June 2 voted to raise that cap to 45 percent, but the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday approved an annual spending measure that included a provision rolling it back to 35 percent.


The Bush administration said it would try to strip out the provision when House and Senate leaders negotiate the final version of the spending bill. But there is also bipartisan support for the lower limit in the Senate.

2. I believe it..

They have no shame and hold the media whores in their hand. I was thinking as I watched leon shit-for-brains on cnn, ooh and ahhh over the dead bodies that we won't hear a word the rest of the day about 9/11.

[nolabels]

25. In spook speak “quid pro quo” ;-)

Me thinks they don't know about timing as well as they think they do :-)

[Judi Lynn]

3. The House/Senate committee should reschedule!

They shouldn't have to accept this sleazy move.

Thanks for the info.

[Cha]

4. Well then the 9/11 report should change their time!

There's gotta be a way to fight these murdering freaked out crooks.

[newsguyatl]

5. i still can't believe this

pentagon JUST announced this too... we were planning on covering the 9-11 report presser, now though, it will be rumsfeld... argh


WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO HIDE?



FUCKERS!

i'm livid

[gasperc]

17. I agree, the 9-11 presser should do a last minute "delay"

like at 1:58pm announce, a postponement till 2:30 or 3pm. Rumsfield can't talk forever, uh er

[MattNC]

6. figures

i'll be interested to see who the networks decide to cover.

[newsguyatl]

8. i can already tell you

it will be rumsfeld, hands down

[w4rma]

9. They could cover them both, if they wanted to,

by alternating between them and/or split screening at times.

[markses]

13. I'd be interested to see if a network carries the Superbowl next year

Done deal, my friend...;-)

[kathee]

7. Anyone who

doesnt believe that the world is a stage, has not met these American actors yet.

Friggin typical. Rumsfeld always reminded me of this elder in my old church, back when I went, that used to chastise all us girls for being boy crazy, smoking, etc..he tattled on several of us....

He was eventually removed from his position for molestation. Didnt serve any time though, dammit. If ONLY it could happen to this old fart. He can run, but he cant hide!

[DemLikr]

10. You're wrong...this is ABSOLUTELY believable, this is their M.O.

and unfortunately in this Country of Dunces, it works.

[newsguyatl]

12. american life

gets more surreal everyday...


they're laughing their asses off right now

[Gringo]

14. What difference does it make?

According to Bob Graham, all the most damning and relevant stuff in the report has been censored from the public.

[Not a robought]

15. That the pentagon can't heed

to a report which means a lot to so many people is disrespectful and an indication that they aren't interested in serving the American people, only themselves and a covering of their own guilt.

[midnitemoleman]

16. When they get to theGOP convention see if it does not come up then

What goes around comes around. Evil never wins in the end.

[meegbear]

18. Has anyone contacted the news outlets ...

and asked which one they will cover, if it all?

[Eloriel]

19. NEWSGUY -- quick, give us some contact info on the 9-11 folks

Names of the Congresspeople involved, etc. QUICK!!

Eloriel

[newsguyatl]

20. all i know right now

is who's gonna be there: Sen. Bob Graham, Sen. Richard Shelby, Rep. Porter Goss and Rep. Nancy Pelosi


will check

[ShimokitaJer]

22. I'd say Graham's your best bet

He's the committee insider who's been the most critical of the Bush administration's actions.

[chiburb]

21. And for the ho-hum crowd...

Arnold (Terminator) has called a 2:00 press conference.

[havocmom]

23. this press briefing brought to you by the makers of WMD*

*War Mongering Distrations**

**a wholly owned subsiderary of Halliburton

[Redleg]

24. Assholes!

It figures. Maybe Fox news will cover the 9-11 story. Yeah, right.

[Terwilliger]

26. And ONLY C-SPAN is carrying the 9/11 PC on split-screen!

:nuke:

[newsguyatl]

28. i told you

i knew we wouldn't cover it.. i'm so pissed

pelosi is speaking now...

and you better believe rummy is gonna speak for as long as he can so the nets won't switch to 9-11 report presser

[DS1]

27. Unbelievable? I'd expect nothing less!

[grasswire]

29. well.....

.....let's see which story leads on the alphabet channels tonight. Then we'll know who won the attention of the masses.

[newsguyatl]

30. do you guys

see how rumsfeld is stretching this?? he NEVER speaks this long

[ShimokitaJer]

31. I agree

Only the hardcore political junkies watch this stuff live. If Rummy says nothing new, which seems to be the case, the news tonight will focus on the new information...

the new information on Private Lynch and Kobe Bryant, of course.

9/11 report? What 9/11 report?

[fshrink]

32. What do you mean "unbelievable"?

It's been a daily rule for the last 3 years.

[caledesi]

33. Not surprised at all. This is how these bastards work. n/t
