CNN's Howie Kurtz is not telling the whole story....re the Dan Rather case
He's shows a clip of the elderly secretary Rather asked about the documents....She said they were not typed by her but that the content was correct....I saw the interview with her and she was quite specific in saying that the people at the base knew Bush got special treatment....Kurtz cut off the interview when she said the documents were not correct....He's a snake in the grass.

2. If you don't know what they are saying you don't know how to fight them!
That's my feeling on the subject!

3. we dont have to watch them to know what they are saying!
do I have to watch a whore do her thing tomknow what she is doing? It is not hard to figure out that with every issue they will distort the truth and hide anything that makes Bush look bad...thats what they do....i dont need to watch it to know that...the question is how do we stop it?

4. Howie NEVER tells the whole story. He is a punk and besides...
he looks a lot like Marv Albert. Do you think he might be a snapper as well? I think he could be.

Seperated at birth?

5. It's nof only him
The 3 clowns that are on with him Andrew Sullivan, Frank Sesno and some lady from U of Mo. They are praising the blogs and beating Rather down. There is no newsworthy stuff in the report, no questions of W and his non-service. They are getting a letter. 4-0 bias.

6. Discussion topic: How Wrong was CBS?
Edited on Sun Sep-19-04 10:58 AM by librechik
Only trash CBS and Dan Rather using a bunch of crafty liars-no one there to defend CBS. Bloggers were the heroes, says Andy Sullivan --thousands went out at the first RNC alert to muddy the waters. Isn't that cool?

Oh, BTW, only RW bloggers exist, and we accept their fact-checking without question!

They actually said that the facts about Bush's service are far less important than CBS treachery! No story there, or as the Pukkkes say, "That's an old story." Nothing about its factual basis.

7. Thanks for reporting Howies latest stunt. Proves CNN is to the dark
side, totally and alerts more folks to what a sham Howie's show "Reliable Sources" casting a spotlight on the Media, really is.

8. Now it's time to destroy Kitty Kelley.
Kurtz is really earning his Golden Kneepads today.

9. I sense that Howie, via his wife, is desperate, he is getting more and ...
more shrill. It couldn't be more obvious that his wife, who works for the repubs, is writing his scripts. If Howie says it you KNOW it comes right from the WH. Pathetic, truly pathetic.

11. My letter
To unreliable sources:

That was the worst segment that I ever remember on CNN. You had no Pro side to 4 Cons on the CBS memo story. You 4 sat there and praised the blogs while beating Rather to the ground. The memos have not been proven one way or another and the crew you had on were so biased, I guess CNN has decided to shill for the administration rather than present honest journalism.

12. Mr Kurtz and spouse are Karl Rove operatives
Everybody inside the Beltway knows it and jokes about it. Too bad it is not better known around the country.

13. Howie Kurtz is a BULLSH*T ARTIST for the Repuke Media
In the spirit of "Fair and Balanced," Howie Kurtz is another stormtrooper in the Repuke Reich and is actively working to portray conservative media bias as the "norm" and the ultimate arbiter of truth.

FASCISM IS ON OUR DOORSTEP.

15. I saw and noticed that too.
They cut the tape at the most important part. What a Nazi. Can't say I'm surprised.
