Judy Woodruff slams Kerry, fellates Bush in first 3 seconds today!

[Atman]

In her opening blah-blah; "President Bush got a big boost today in his effort to prove he is the better candidate to help the economy than John Kerry."

At least she didn't sound biased or anything.

[bluedog]

1. you mean Iraqi Judy??

The biggest CNN whore who wishes she could give bush a BJ??? she is disgusting piece of crap!!!

[Atman]

4. Iraqi Judy! I like it!

eom

[nostamj]

2. at least you didn't post this in LBN

she's a mediacrackwhore and she makes Leslie Wolf (the "Iron-DeficientMan" of Journalism) jealous every day with her uber-pandering to all thing bush... think her husband knows she worships bush?

[VolcanoJen]

3. And now, she's fellating Bush, while questioning Leon Panetta...

... about the new "Jobs Report." It's really quite a ventriloquistic feat!!

She wants to know what Leon has against the new job report, and wants to know, basically, why Leon hates America so much.

She just said, I shit you not... "Doesn't this new jobs report take the Economy issue off the table for Kerry?"

[Generator]

7. So even if it is off the table (which I don't think many people believe)

Bushie is the "war" President. He is losing that war. Bye-bye.

[VolcanoJen]

11. Can't run on the economy, can't run on the war...

... what exactly is he supposed to run on???

Judy is a Whore,
JenJen

[Still_Loves_John]

23. Ok, just to be fair

"She just said, I shit you not... 'Doesn't this new jobs report take the Economy issue off the table for Kerry?'"

Now, maybe I'm way off base, but I see that as a softball question for Panetta, because it allows him to say "No, of course not, thats silly." She didn't hound him, trying to get him to admit that this was bad, she moved right on to the next question after allowing him to bat away an opposition talking point. I think this is kind of a common technique within CNN: whichever side they're talking to they tend to take a weak opposing stance, and is probably one reason why people think they're either the Communist News Network or part of the vast right wing conspiracy.

[Langis]

5. I heard that and turned CNN off

F%#$ that stupid.... well you know

[nostamj]

6. RUMOR:

Judy had her legs cut off so that she would ALWAYS be on her KNEES.

[robbedvoter]

8. Nooo! Judy Dandruff? Who'd have thunk it?

In 2001 when Cheney's mechanical heart gave in, 2 people namedropped: "But I had lunch with him and he was fine!" One was Britt Hume. The other one: Woof-Woof.
What she did during the primaries - CNN debate, Clark interviews was so beyond disgusting, I don't touch CNN with a 10 foot pole.

[bluedog]

9. aww judy

how many people signed up for unemployment benefits in May??? How many can no longer get extensions?? Do your job as a news anchor and quit kissing bushs dicky....

[napi21]

10. Oh, don't get your shorts in a thightwad. She's just talking

a story. The topic was an increase in jobs in the May report. Whe had Leon Peneta on to refute the GOP predictions.

Please don't fall into the BS of the Pubs that all talking heads must talk to their agenda or get off the air.

We don't really want that, do we?

[bluedog]

12. well

I would like to hear both sides of a story....you know the real news.not just freaking opinions that always come from the RWers.I'm sick of it.........

[jpgray]

14. But this doesn't 'take the economy off the table for Kerry'

That sort of statement is just silliness. We should accept the numbers, but it doesn't torpedo Kerry's ability to question Bush's economic policy.

[robbedvoter]

15. Don't try to explain Dandruff to us. The quote in the thread and her

credentials as an absolute whorse are established and no amount of defending her will change that. let's not sell the "objectivity" of the CNN - that went out the window on December 13, 2000. Nice try.

[capriccio]

19. Deconstructing Judy

Napi, my friend, let me join you here in what I think is a vital and noble effort to see that our comrades-in-arms maintain some standards of integrity and objectivity.

Let's deconstruct the Judy statement that is being read here as tantamount to a Bush endorsement:
Part 1
"President Bush got a big boost today..." True or not true? Well, there may be some countervailing and mitigating facts floating around out there, but the fact is Bush DID get a boost from those employment figures today and one would have to be a true bubblehead not to recognize and report that fact.
Part 2
"...in his effort to prove he is the better candidate to help the economy than John Kerry."
It is HIS effort, right? Not Judy's. Not CNN's. And that's what she's reporting, no? Bush is making an effort to prove he's the better candidate. How do you argue that? Well, you can't which is why you resort to sophomoric piffle about blow-jobs.

One has a greater appreciation for the job Sommerby does at the Daily Howler at actually slicing and dicing real media bias, when watches our local amateurs at work.

[sadiesworld]

26. Why don't you toddle on over to the Daily Howler, google

Judy Woodruff, and see what Sommerby has to say about the whore?

Maybe the "amateurs" have a pretty good idea where Whore Woodruff is coming from.

[capriccio]

31. Remedial reading

Try reading my post again. One word at a time, maybe. It has nothing to do with who made the statement, but what the statement said. And in and of itself there is nothing "whorish" about it, except in the eyes of those who wish it so.

As for Sommerby, I read the howler daily and know enough about his thoroughness and professionalism to know that he wouldn't raise an eye about the innocuous statement that's raised such a fuss here among people who indulge in freeper-like hysteria all too easily.

[prolesunited]

22. No, that's NOT what she's doing

She consistently frames here questions in a leading way. For example, an unbiased question would be: How does this report effect Kerry's position on the economy? This does not put the responder in the position of defending or affirming the questioners position.

She asks her questions as if she is conducting push-polls. They are framed to advance the GOP agenda. Do you see the difference?

I don't want RW or LW news. I simply what NEWS. If you think what we're getting from our corporate media is remotely close to this ideal, you are quite mistaken.

[gratuitous]

13. So, what was her (excuse the expression) thinking?

Why did she think that Bush was a better candidate to help the economy than Kerry? I don't think Kerry, as a member of the minority party in the Senate, is in much of a position to do anything at all about the economy.

Stupidhead, by contrast, is in a wonderful position to influence the economy, and over the last 3½ years, has presided over the first net job loss since Herbert Hoover. While a quarter million more jobs last month is heartening, it doesn't keep up with the number of entrants in the job market.

Think of it this way: You're tooling around the track at Indianapolis in your 1976 Pinto. You cover a lap at an average of 60 mph. The next lap you go 70 mph. Whoo hoo, right? Well, the race cars are still doing 200 mph. You're still falling farther and farther behind with every lap, just not as fast.

[indigobusiness]

18. She didn't say she thought anything.

"President Bush got a big boost today in his effort to prove he is the better candidate to help the economy than John Kerry."

She reported on Bush's effort to prove...etc

[gratuitous]

24. I understand WHAT she said

I don't understand the intellectual underpinning for it: How does it create a "big boost" for the Bush's efforts to "prove he is the better candidate to help the economy than John Kerry" when the economy falls farther behind (albeit at a slower rate) in terms of job growth?

But I guess the job numbers are good news only if a person doesn't understand the underlying analysis, which shows that the economy is slipping further behind. Did Ms. Woodruff provide that analysis, or was she satisfied making a misleading statement? Because on their own, the job growth number, coupled with Ms. Woodruff's statement might sound like unwarranted positive news for the Bush administration.

[indigobusiness]

27. OK, I undertsand your concern, but yousaid

..."Why did she think that Bush was a better candidate to help the economy than Kerry?"...

My response to that was to point out that she never said or implied that she thought that.

Bush has had a boost from the economic #s....bogus as they might be.

[gratuitous]

29. Except that Judy (presumably) wrote what she said

Maybe I'm assuming too much; after all, it's entirely possible that Judy just reads what's printed and doesn't think about it too much. So when she mouthed the words that Bush got a big boost, I figured it meant that she wrote that, and believed that.

As I've shown with my analysis, Bush would not get a big boost if the numbers were placed in proper context -- that is, as a function of the number of jobs created (X) versus the number of jobs needed in the economy in order to bring the jobless rate down, and indicate some actual economic recover (a number greater than X).

So, for her to opine that Bush got a big boost, the only reason he would get a boost is if journalists didn't do their jobs in providing some basic analysis. Therefore, by not providing analysis, and making an unwarranted statement reflecting positively on the Bush candidacy, Judy's whoring for George. Q.E.D.

[indigobusiness]

30. No opinion was expressed, regardless who wrote it.

That was the point I was trying to make.

[Atman]

16. What a GREAT Freudian slip!

Report John McCain (no relation) just filed a report from Italy and said "on this campaign trip...er, overseas trip."

LOL! Oops, John...read the talking points memos again!

[kentuck]

20. I noticed that!

He was right the first time...:)

[WI_DEM]

17. let's see after over 3 years of bad economic news

we get a couple of months of good news--and suddenly Bush is the best man to handle the economy?

Earth to Woodruff--many of those employed are not working jobs that paid as much as their last jobs and they are not thanking Bush. Also, as far as the economy is concerned--$2.00 plus per gallon gasoline will have a bigger influence at the polls than the unemployment figures.

[49jim]

21. Judy asked Condi Rice the

other day if she thought that Kerry was qualified to be "Commander-in Chief". Gag me with a spoon....probably should have asked her the same question about *.Pissed me off!!!

[Skittles]

25. she is a f***ing Bush Whore

nt

[West Coast Democrat]

28. Plus, I hate to seem shallow, but...

Judy's hairstyle looks ridiculous.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

32. Examine that "big boost" a little more carefully,...

...most of the jobs created are in the produced goods/manufacturing and services sectors. How many of those jobs are:

1. Temporary/contractual/part-time;

2. Part of the overall outsourcing program.
