Tweety Is At It Again!!!!
Well, right off the bat, Tweety grills his guests about Dan Rather and pushing really HARD to make him out to be some kind of off the wall Liberal!!

True, Rather has been left leaning for as long as I can remember, however what has been done to him is OUTRAGEOUS!!

Basically the story about The Boy King EEIIdiot WAS true, but the Rovian Teamsters jumped on him to discredit him in any way they could.

What they didn't realize is that NOW... Dan Rather can be a Rush Limbaugh for the LEFT if as he intends, he will go back to being an Investigative Journalistic Reporter!! Go Get Dan!!

SHUT UP TWEETY!!!! Turning OFF MSNBC right now, I thought this was going to be an Objective look at what happened. Geez, I'm so gullible!

1. I was wondering why nobody thought to ask if being a liberal
journalist was any worse than being a conservative one, which Tweety is.

24. And here I thought
journalist's were supposed to be unbiased and find the facts. :eyes: Oops. Guess I was wrong.

25. They use to call them honest brokers.
Nope. We don't have them any more. Tweety is actually more damaging to the Dems than Fox News, because he misrepresents himself as a Democrat and his opinions are really too far to the right to be any use to us.

I still think Dan Rather can still be a Phoenix. With the blogs at his disposal, the man can say and do anything he damn well pleases.

2. I agree with what you wrote, except
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 07:30 PM by Eric J in MN
good investigative journalism doesn't equal Rush Limbaugh of the Left.

3. I watched Dan's last broadcast tonite -
that man has more class in his pinky finger than Tweety could ever hope to have. I think he's jealous as hell.

4. Yea, and I'm sure he devoted as much time to the Gannon story
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 07:28 PM by quinnox
as he did with his on-every-week Swift Boat Smears. I gave up on Matthews long ago, won't watch him.

10. I HAVEN'T Been Watching Him...
I just heard that he would be interviewing tonight and thought I would check it out. It was only wishful thinking that he would be OBJECTIVE!!

I turned it off RIGHT AWAY! Douche bag, nice touch and fits well!

7. So did Leslie this morning on CNN; tried to get
Marvin Kalb to stick it to Dan Rather, but he wouldn't do it. Frank Sesno was a bit wishy-washy.

8. Faux News has 27 commentators that are left of the center line
according to Brent Bozell(sp) on the radio today.

I don't think there are that many on all of television, cable or network!!!

34. Thats because you hear "center" and (naturally) think "middle"
But they start measuring in the middle. What they mean when they say "center" is "center-right."

despite what Rush says, words have very little meaning to these people. They are temporary labels, changeable, redefinable, and without any lasting weight.

It must be so, otherwise the body of far-right rhetoric would collapse into a pile of rubble. (After, of course, they define the following words: "rhetoric," "collapse," "far-right," and "rubble.")

15. Bullshi*
Tweety's "truth" is to spew the RNC talking points. Once, when he had some balls, they nearly got cut off by the repos who threatened to boycott him (during the swiftboatliars fiasco). After that he got back in line and became the good little neo-con we see before us today.

The "truth" is nowhere to be found in MSM and certainly not on his show, which should be named, "I cover my hardballs."

16. here's why:
he trashed John Kerry over and over and over again during the campaign. He had panels of guests stacked with conservative who all would take turns trying to outdo each other in their insults and exaggerations about Kerry. Tweety has no scruples.

20. The last time he grilled a right winger was Michelle Malkin
That was, what, about 8 months ago? He'll choose to jump all over a powerless fringe pundit like Malkin but will never, EVER challenge the powerful. The guy is a Republican. I know he calls himself a Democrat. BUT HE'S A REPUBLICAN! Hasn't anyone realized that yet? After his nauseating performance providing commentary during the Bush-Kerry debates, I have completely lost all respect or interest in the little whore.

33. Yep,and alot of DU'ers thought he'd turned the corner...BS
Bullshit...That butterball is bought and paid for by GE,who is buying out MS part of the network most likly to make it as much like FOX as humanly possible. Watch for Olberman to get the axe over some small little detail.

Tweety got pimp slapped badly over the Malkin deal and will be a bigger media whore than ever before.

21. Snap Out of It!
Matthews is a corporate media whore - the last time he grilled anyone was that hack Michele Malkin, and then he disappeared for a few days because the wingnuts went after him on TV & Radio.

He's been spanked back into submission and will never go after a right-winger again.

General Electric is his employer, always remember that.

19. Chris Matthews is not a journalist.
Never has been .. never will be. Matthews is a commentator/pundit. He corrals and ropes opinions. He deals in a nether world where facts are indeed suspect. Approach Tweety as just entertainment and don't get your knickers in a bunch over his pronouncements.

Over and out.

22. Tweety is a "Grover"...
Bohemian Grove
by Mary Moore, Bohemian Grove organizer

LAKESIDE TALKS
July 2003

Compared to past years when such dignitaries as Supreme Court Justice ANTONIN SCALIA spoke on CHURCH, STATE & THE CONSTITUTION (1997) or the scary REARMING AMERICA by then Secretary of Defense CASPER WEINBERGER (1981), this years LAKESIDE TALKS were relatively low key. Maybe that's because so much of the ruling class agenda is now outfront for all to see if only they will look. Still, there were some interesting topics shared that would be of interest to the shut out public. *

Bohemian Grove

Might help to explain some of his whoring of late...

23. Could it explain his refusal to even say the word "Gannon"?
of course, if those theories about Gannon/Guckert/Gosch are true.

26. Check this out:
http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/bohos/bohoindx.html

What is the Bohemian Grove? The Bohemian Grove is a 2700 acre redwood forest, located in Monte Rio, CA. It contains accommodation for 2000 people to "camp" in luxury. It is owned by the Bohemian Club.

What is the Bohemian Club? The Bohemian Club is a private. all male club, which is headquartered in the Bohemian building in San Francisco. It was formed in 1872 by men who sought shelter from the frontier culture (or lack of culture).

Who are the present members? The Club has evolved into an association of rich and powerful men, mostly of this country (there are similar organizations in other countries). Some artists are allowed to join (often at reduced rates), because of their social status and entertainment value. The membership list has included every Republican U.S. president (as well as some Democrats) since 1923, many cabinet officials, and director; & CEO's of large corporations, including major financial institutions.

What industries are represented among the members? Major military contractors, oil companies, banks (including the Federal Reserve), utilities (including nuclear power), and national media (broadcast and print) have high-ranking officials as club members or guests. Many members are, or have been, on the board of directors of several of these corporations. You should note that most of the above industries depend heavily on a relationship with government for their profitability.

The members stay in different camps at the Grove, which have varying status levels. Members & frequent guests of the most prestigious camp (Mandalay) include: Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, S. D. Bechtel, Jr., Thomas Watson Jr. (IBM), Phillip Hawley (B of A), William Casey (CIA). and Ralph Bailey (Dupont). George Bush resides in a less prestigious camp (Hillbillies) with A. W. Clausen (World Bank), Walter Cronkite, and William F. Buckley

I have friends like that. I like them both, but they can't stand each other.
