Deb, there was a huge sigh here. Inbetween the news is, and there is no news he sounded let down.

Wordsmith, I heard the comment played on the radio yesterday and I believe I have acurately potrayed his conjecture. I wanted to post the audio clip but was unable to find it.

When it comes to what’s “right in this country”, the leftard biased media is not it.

Great news indeed, shame it isn’t top news. But apparently some idiot magician and his alleged affair is more important.

Are you so sure that Charles Gibson meant it in the spirit you suspect him of saying it? I realize his background, which includes protesting during the Vietnam War. But the way this reads, it sounds like he’s driving home the point that this IS news, and it’s significant enough to mention about. If it weren’t news, he would not have brought it up at all.

Well said. I’d just add that at best, this is an example of the old saw, “If it bleeds it leads.” However, it goes beyond that – perhaps the dearth of attacks doesn’t need to lead, but it should constitute news. Then, there’s the question of why not report other positive news, like the community rebuilding activities our increasingly less-battle-engaged troops are conducting.

And believe me my friends, the bad guys are watching our election process very closely and praying to Allah that a Socialist(D) gets the White House. In earlier times, these people would be tried for treason and then shot in the street.

We knew these radical Socialist were coming though. Those hippies have just showered, completed college and now are pushing the same agenda they were in the 60′s.

I think that it comes down to their definition of “news” differs from our definition of “news”. Now most people will say news is news right?

Keep in mind these are the same people that nodded sagely at Bill Clinton asking “what the definition if is is”.

News to the media is just another tool, and an exceptionally powerful one, to push their agenda. Why else are over 90% of journalists registered Democrats?

Whats sad is that so many do not even see their own bias and obvious agenda.
