In a report on tonight's NBC News about a CIA op in Guantanamo to turn detainees into double agents, a program ended in 2006. She made sure the ONLY politician in the report was freshman Senator Kelly Ayotte from NH. Who was NOT around when this was happening and of course did not mention it was a Bush program. Of course she filled her proper GOP role to say BOTH administration have released detainees who have gone back to there homes PERHAPS? to fight against America. This is beside the point of the story about a specific operation, and it was not in effect when Obama cam into office. But why describe another Bush operation that went wrong when you can play the both sides do it card and accuse Obama of something.
That liberal media strikes again.

NBC Network News. Shame on them.

(33,576 posts)She picked the wrong politician for the story and failed to place the blame with the Bush administration. Implying Obama was also involved. And that her partisonship has little to do with over site.

(33,576 posts)and might have some knowledge of it. She added nothing to the story except to say "They both did it" even though the operation was shut done before Obama took office and there was nothing in the story about Obama. Why are you defending this?

(8,419 posts)Last week during the Kennedy coverage she went off on how the Johnson's were isolated on the airplane back to DC. Her proof, RFK got on the plane and didn't even acknowledge the President. He ran straight to Jackie. Then the Johnson's had to wait to deplane because they took JFKs casket off first.
Fucking self centered Kennedy's thinking only about themselves, I mean Johnson was the President!
The last line was my interpretation the rest were her almost exact words.
She is a fugging classic.
