One more time for the hard of hearing...




Can Bob Novak Change Media’s View of Valerie Plame Wilson Affair?


No.

Because the media are filled with lying, hypocritical, mental and moral defectives.

The issue isn't Novak/Armitage the issue is how did Mrs. Wilson's name and job become a common piece of knowledge in the administration. Because not just Armitage was spreading Valerie Wilson's name around. There was also Scooter Libby as well as several telephone calls from Karl Rove where her identity was discussed. Libby had a lunch with Judith Miller of the Times several days before Novak's column, where Mrs. Wilson was discussed. How did these people come to have this woman's name and identity and why didn't they know she was a classified agent?

EL, how can you work in a business you hate so? Are you a liar, hypocrite, or mental or moral defective? Why don't you quit and get an honest living, if you feel that way?

ER, the media is full of your kind now. We need some balance.
It's ok for you to have your views, but it's also ok for the other side to have views and be represented.

And this just in: Rupert Murdoch, owner of FOX, has bought the Wall Street Journal.

solomon, consider the networks. The only one that I consider half way conservative is Fox and it is subject to approval ratings influence also, but all the rest are liberal. I grew up in a Democrat family from both sides and was one myself for the biggest part of my adult life, but I do have a mind and can recognize liberals.

How completely ignorant you people are. Completely.

There was no need for an investigation. Armitage owned up to it BEFORE Fitzgerald was given the job. Media knows this, and being the disingenuous lying bunch of hypocrites they are they still, DELIBERATELY lie about the facts of the whole Plame Affair.

mom2,

I'm the son of a Southern Baptist Republican myself.

IMHO, I consider FOX to be WAY Right. The networks to me seem inconsequential- little 1/2 hour news segments with very little pundit/op-ed time.

CNN has Glenn Beck. MSNBC has Scarborough. FOX has a huge list of conservative superstars and blows the other cable networks away.

Then there's talk radio- hugely influential and dominated by the right. Al Franken tried to copy their formula and failed- again IMHO, because most liberals don't want to be spoon-fed their opinions (some do, of course- they listen to Amy Goodman). Republicans seem to lap that stuff up, hence Rush's and FOX's superstar status.

Then there's the Weekly Standard crowd- like Bill Kirstol, who helped get us into the Iraq mess.

Then there are the well-funded and influential conservative think tanks- Heritage Foundation, etc.

Yes, we need to restore balance, but not in the way you might think.

EL,

What part of this article do you disagree with? What part is a lie?

solomon, I'm the daughter of a Southern Baptist minister, who would be over 100 years old if alive and he would probably not recognize the party that he was so strongly attached to.

I have a more important question.

When will the right-wing echo chamber finally acknowledge that their strategy for fighting terrorism has only made matters worse?

Just look at the new National Intelligence Estimate.

The NIE "contrasted sharply with the more positive emphasis of President Bush and his top aides for years: that two-thirds of Al Qaeda’s leadership had been killed or captured; that the Iraq invasion would reduce the terrorist menace; and that the United States had its enemies “on the run,” as Mr. Bush has frequently put it."

same day the Left-Wing echo chamber admits the care nothing for winning in Iraq... only pleasing and appeasing their MoveOn radical base. The same day the Left-Wing echo chamber owns up to its treasonous attitude and behavior in the War Against Terror.
