We still haven’t got even but we’re working on it.

@newscraper :
“I wish to GOD to see one of the networks grow gonads and put the entire 9/11 day of media coverage on the air.”

FWIW, a lot of this is available on the internet, via torrent sites. I guess more than a few people thought to hit “record” on whatever technology they had for that purpose.. I have seen “complete 9/11 coverage” from multiple networks, though I have never had the heart to download it..

Have you ever watched a football game where one team took a large lead, fell into a prevent defense, only to watch their opponent whittle the lead away again? I can not remember the originator but I remember a quote, and I paraphrase: ” Hit them hard and often. And if they get up, hit ‘em again.” Sounds good to me.

ABC edited out key portions of Palin’s interview and — surprise! — ended up distorting her opinions and making her look less informed than she is.

Not to mention Gibson was a condescending tool. At times Palin had to put up her hand trying to get him to stop interrupting her with his constant reptition of Democrat talking points.

The media are vermin, pure and simple.

I wonder why Palin chose ABC/Gibson to begin with. I would have thought she’d choose someone with at least a small expectation of professionalism … unless it was a set-up and he performed just like the chattering monkey McCain’s staff had him pegged for to begin with.

I”m trying to think who I would choose if it were me in her power pumps. I think either Barbara Walters or Katie Couric would have done an interesting job — or maybe Tom Brokaw although NBC needs to be spanked for its support of MSNBC.

Charles Gibson in what I saw of the inquisition uh…interview came off as tremendously unfair and condescending to Palin who appeared confident and genuine. The most irritating thing was looking down his nose at her. I was expecting to hear, ” Ve have vays to make you talk..”
I was so mad my wife had to tell me to leave the room. I confess to being a partisan who despises the MSM, but I don’t think anyone with even a small degree of discernment could see that without coming away impressed with Palin and totally convinced the media is bent over grabbing their ankles for Obama.

Dave, Read the Southern apologist book called King Cotton. I believe that the last edition was published in 1860. The Southern intellectual “elites” had screwy ideas about national economies.
The Republic of Texas could not finance itself since the founders did not want to pay any taxes. Texas was the only Southern state ruled by rednecks.
But now our major cities are cosmopolitan and we have a thriving economy as long as we avoid a state income tax.
