You Might Not Want to Watch Tweety Tonight...........
Just saw the commercial for tonight's show. Questions about Bush's National Guard service---Credibility of CBS News, etc. and then the announcer tells us that Tweets will tell us who this hurts the most: Bush or Kerry. The innuendo in the announcer's voice just drips with: "it's gonna' be alright for the poor, beleaguered President Bush but the goddamn, piece of shit Kerry is gonna' get his throat slit by this whole thing and LOSE, LOSE, LOSE". I'm so sick of this crap.

The whole media now (with the exception of CBS)is on frontline duty to debunk and destroy anything that is remotely critical of Bush (AWOL, Kitty's cocaine charges, etc.) and to tell us everything critical is just a cheap political stunt of the corrupt Democrats and Kerry. It's also giving us advance notice that there is no way they will make one negative remark about Bush in the debates but are ready to disembowel Kerry after each debate. They aren't wasting all this wind to protect Bush now and then let him sink in the debates. Their analysis is already written and on the TelePrompTer for them to read come debate night. Since polls are showing Kerry gaining and in some going ahead (Harris), they are going to be on overtime duty from now until November. Anyway, just look for this theme of 'blame Kerry' while 'covering up Bush' on this AWOL issue to be the propaganda point hammered by all the whores.

7. Spare Yourself- I Quit Matthews And Haven't Looked Back
He is watched by only a very small sliver of the very small cable news audience- I assure you it's getting smaller so he's going for the Faux viewers. Ignore him.

3. we said yesterday before 60 Min.. --- this is a Rove "hit" ...in progress
you are now seeing who is complicit in the smear....the corporate owned media.

They will not debate the validated content.

They will not investgate Bob Graham's book - Tweety gave him 5 min. and cut the interview.


This is Amerika....

13. cth---yes, isn't it deplorable that none of them have given coverage
of any depth to Bob Graham. My God, this is a Senator who sat there and listened to it all. He knows what is in the parts of the report that Bush blacked out, etc. and these bastards refuse to talk about it. This is basically saying that the Bush family are being run by the Saudi family and that the Saudi's are funding bin Laden. And our news media yawns. We would be better off if news was banned in this nation..I swear.....

5. Funny, because I JUST sent MSBNC an email
They did a "story" just now talking about The Memos as if the entire AWOL issue hinged on their validity, all in a "OoooOOOOOooo CBS you are in troublllllllle" tone. You can glean the rest from my note below. (Sent to feedback@msnbc.com)

***

MSNBC,

I just saw a piece on your program regarding CBS and "The Documents" or "The Memos." The documents CBS received -- the ones being pored over for fonts, kerning, proportional spacing, etc. -- are far from the *only* documents or memos showing Bush was AWOL, but one would think so from watching your misleading story.

For a long time now, official ANG documents have been out there showing Bush DID NOT take his flight physical and was subsequently grounded (and then "not observed"). These are beyond question. Your piece made it sound as though CBS were making this assertion anew based on the Killian memos, and that is just misleading and irresponsible journalism.

Regarding the memos themselves, you fail to point out the significance of the fact that both Mr. Hodges nor Mrs. Knox confirm the truth of their content and the fact that such memos existed. THAT is the story -- a longstanding cover-up and a series of lies from the White House.

For God's sake, do your job and report THE STORY!!

Sincerely,

8. Maybe Yes, Maybe No.
I've noticed a strange tendency with MSNBC of late. The promos for Tweety, Keith, etc all seem a bit more "rightish" during the day, but when the actual show comes, it quite different.

Also, the late morning, early afternoon crowd lean right, while the evening leans left.

Just my imagination, or anybody else see that?

12. And is there a White House coverup?
And how many reasons have they given now for Chimpy's refusal to take a flight physical?

How many excuses have they given for not releasing docs, only to release some more?

Why can they not respond to the evidence in any way that shows the Chimp hasn't spent decades lying his ass off?

"What the HELL is going on" would be a good place for the media to start.

14. And Tweety makes the call because?
He is clairvoyant? Has a red phone to God? Who died and made his opinion who it hurts the most the final arbitrator on all things political? Tweety is allowed to express his opinion but to declare he knows the answer and is going to share with the rest of the world is screaming shades of Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush and Rove.

Think Zell Miller's tantrum caught on Tweety's show has gone to his head - he is now thinking he is a REAL reporter.

Tweety - offer up your two cents, just be sure to label the telecast as "words expressed herein are the total opinion of the host and may not have any reflection on what is or is not the truth."

Tweety is going hard after Rush's title of "Right-wing Political Shill of the Century." He has drank the Kool-Aid and is forming is how chapter of "Dildo-heads."

15. Tweety should know that Kerry has NO history of dirty tricks and Bush DOES
Will he bring out those facts? I doubt it.

17. I don't bother with matthews anymore.
He has lost all credibility as an independent journalist. The only show on MSNBC worth watching is Olbermann. Come to think of it, I've got to drop them a line about last night's show.

21. My solution: 7 pm "The Daily Show", 7:30 pm "Jeopardy."
Then I get my news fix at 8 pm with Keith Olberman. My blood pressure doesn't need Tweety.

23. No Tweety! No Tweety!

Please, turn him off! I am into my second week of not watching him, and I'm not missing a thing!

He truly is talking only to his own monstrous ego.

24. Let's bring Sylvester out of retirement
Now that Granny's no longer around to protect the whiney self-centered and obnoxious Tweety, let the Puddy Tat show what he can do.
