Bill Hemmer BLASTS Joe Lockhart...
These whores are so desperate to tie this trumped up document "scandal" to the Kerry campaign they simply cannot restrain themselves.

Bill Hemmer just had Joe Lockhart on and all but accused him of being directly involved with the matter, having talked to Burkett and all. Hemmer practially screamed at Lockhart.

In a nutshell Joe told Bill that he just needs to do his own job, saying, "You report whatever you want. If you think this is news instead of the fact that Iraq is a quagmire, the economy is worse than it has been in 72 years, etc. then you just go ahead and report this story."

He also said that it is obvious the White House doesn't want to talk about the issues or answer real questions because Scott McClellan has held only 2 press conferences in the the past two months. He went on to say that even during the impeachment and very difficult times in the Clinton White House he never missed a day doing his job. He also cracked that the job pays very well, especially when you only have to work once a month (re: Scotty Mac). :puke:

Joe held his ground admirably, but it was vomitingly disgusting to watch Hemmer make such an ass of himself and to display not just a bias, but a vicious disrespect for his guest and journalistic integrity. I'm sorry folks, but this country is in the toilet and the media is pulling the flush lever. :grr: :mad: :grr:

Hemmer's a child and a tool. And Flubadubya is right - it's the capitalist whore media that's flushing this great nation.

23.

7. Sorry, CNN American Morning...
Sorry to take for granted everyone knew. Bill Hemmer is a fixture at CNN in the morning. I was just furious when I typed the above and failed on the details.

10. I expect there should be a transcript, at least.
Here is a link to their transcript page: http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/

I'm not sure what the delay is from broadcast to transcript. I'm sure it won't look good on paper, but it looked simply outrageous (Hemmer's part) on the TV screen. Just unbelievable the animosity spewing from Hemmer. This is a man who should be fired from his job!

5. CNN = Conjecture News Network
We report what we want. You decide if we are telling the truth. WAKE UP FOLKS. CNN is nothing, I repeat NOTHING but a SAUDI-OWNED mouthpiece. Turn it off.
