I still couldn't care less about these "reporters" standing up to *. They
made their bed, now they can go sleep in it. They are whores and nothing is going to change. I have lost *respect* for them and their credibility is in the toilet. Remember not too long ago the scripted conferences, the lack of reporting on Iraq, the way they handled the 2004 Presidential Campaign and many other things. As far as I'm concerned they are not worth the effort to spit on.

1. Yep, they're history.
A person can find the real news on the web.

They're not only whores, they're redundant whores.

2. Too many of them
have the ego problem and that has overshadowed anything they once knew about journalism. That is a real travesty now that we have so many tools to collect and analyze news issues, thanks to the internet.

3. Hey, C G, if you discount all the reporters who haven't stood up
to the blivet, no one is left!
We have to trust someone, sometime... or not.
Popcorn, I say! :)

5. I'll be flipping them off like the way * does too. Granted you do have to
trust someone - but not them. :popcorn: :popcorn:

4. Please quit insulting the name of good whores
everywhere! Many make an honest living. A service in exchange for cash or goods.

There is nothing honest about those sluts in the corporate media! I wouldn't wipe a baboon's ass with hardly a one of 'em.

9. I still say big deal. It's recent. Let's see what they're like uring the
elections this year. What are they going to say about the Democrats? I'll wait.

8. There are a plethora of reporters...
that have EARNED my trust. And, they're rarely seen on my tv screen. As society crumbles around us...these journalists will continue to inform...they will continue to show us the naked truth if we dare look. Fuck the rest of the lot....they've earned enough blood-money for several lifetimes....

14. Yup. They also stooped so low as to allow the PENTAGON to INSIST
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 12:29 AM by in_cog_ni_to
on embedding them before they got their war on. DISGUSTING. They allowed the "news" to be VETTED BY THE PENTAGON too. Their freakin' "Shock and Awe" headlines in their sensationalized war coverage was SICK. Then they had the freakin' NERVE to fire Phil Donahue on MSRNC because he didn't "fit" with their cheerleading for the illegal invasion. The corporate owned media can kiss my ass. THEY ARE WHY WE ARE IN THIS MESS. Had they done their freakin' jobs, they could have stopped these people COLD in 2000.

Greg Palast had sent his evidence of FL.'s purged voter rolls to CBS and they told Palast that they couldn't run with the story because...GET THIS!!!!!.....THEY HAD CALLED JEB BUSH AND ASKED HIM IF IT WAS TRUE AND JEBB SAID NO SO THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO THE STORY!!! rat bastards.

19. SADLY...it's TRUE!
He sent the info to CBS and he hadn't heard anything from them for months. He decided he'd call them and see what the hold-up was and that's when he was told they decided against doing the story because they had called Jebb and asked him if it was true that he had purged THOUSANDS from his voter rolls and Jebb said it wasn't true so they killed the story. :grr: Disgusting, isn't it?:grr:

21. Look - they gave us the bare facts. I like it when they stand up for
their country & what they believe. I will go back to the news if they consistantly act like real journalists.

23. Sure would like to know why it's never pointed out
when Scotty or someone says something about Saddam gassing his own people, that it was the US who provided the materials...



Just when will the media/press corps people actually ask the most important questions? And when they do, continue to hammer away until the question is answered?
