The WSJ column hailed by the NBC anchor as "a splendid piece of journalism" has to be read to be believed.
  • You people crywhine about the Media, but you don't do anything about it

    I am surprised your state of awareness of this problem exists. On the same day COngress was grilling Gen Petraeus, the White House chose to hold a Medal of Honor ceremony. In the ceremony, President Bush cried real tears, and the camera went into CLOSE UP.

    Now my first question as a media student was, who arranged this footage, did the White House set up the cameras? Who decided to edit this piece. If NBC was a truly liberal rag, the camera could have been fifty feet away, and those real tears would have never been evident, as they should not have been. This was hot and steamy propaganda, and dovetails just about right with Noonan's piece. She is leftovers from the Reagan days.

    I occasionally fire off these media outrages to your 5things email address, but I notice no one pays attention to these things. You just talk about the media evidently, you don't do anything about it, like just a smidge of forensic work.

    Ulitmately it all started for NBC at the FAMOUS Red Sea interview with Colin Powell. I would sure like to know what really happened there, and who is Elizabeth. Meanwhile you all crywhine about the Media, after the fact, but you wouldn't know a real act of propaganda if it hit you in the face.
