BUMP. A must see. Absolutely the best compilation of the Year’s Worst Reporting.

Dan Rather [trolling again on the frequency of murder, mayhem and terror]: "Mr. President, if only you knew how
much I and others at CBS support you and Castro rather than our unelected (sic) Bush."

Terrorist-Murderer Saddam: "Mr, Rather, it is absolutely remarkable that you media girly men
will repeatedly betray the USA, your President, and even the free American people during war
and for so very little. You and Mr. Cronkite are truly amazing.
Do you realize, Mr. Rather, that for millions and millions of Iraqis and my captives
I had to gang rape each man's children and his wife,
and then burn them in nitric acid, and mutilate them by cutting off at least an ear,
and then force them to watch me push their children through a paper shredder.
Mr. Rather, I used to have to remove testicles and arms before we have every seen such betrayal.
But you and CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, and CNN grovel to me ......for nothing.
Thank you, Mr. Rather.
Thank you. We, terrorists worldwide,
are very very lucky to have you, Mr. Cronkite and the others, Mr. Rather."

Bump.

[Boxsford]

Thanks for posting this. Bookmarked to finish reading.

[The G Man]

That Mary Jo Kopechne quote is the whackiest thing I've read in a long, long ... loooooooong time.

[bvw]

In retrospect, CBS's reporting of that with Rather ... I'm seeing it as downright treasonous. It DID lend aid and comfort to the enemy.

Thank G-d for our shrewd Generals and Staff who took the murderer and tyrant down with unimaginable efficiency and very low bloodshed. Miracously low bloodshed, but a miracle that was worked very hard for by our fellows in the Army, Marines and the other Services.

and the person, the persons, who should be thanking our Military the most are CBS and Rather, for that poorly timed media grandstanding and mollycoddling of a bloody, foul tyrant could have cost tens of thousands of lives had our Military Commanders and Planners not been so ace at their tasks.

The NY Post has an editorial today about these MRC awards. BTW, there will be a live presentation of these awards I believe sometime in March. I think it will also be televised on C-SPAN. It should be fun to watch. I wonder if any of the award recipients (Petah Jennings, Bill Moyers, etc.) will be shoing up to accept their well-earned awards?

[FreedomGuru]

Oh my goodness. There should be a warning, if you read all these in one viewing, your head is likely to explode. :-)

You couldn't make this stuff up.
Great info to remind us of the lunacy of the left.

[auboy]

Thank you for these shining examples that prove the media leans to the right. LOL!

[PJ-Comix]

I am hoping we can get some reactions from the award recipients. I would love to see Petah Jennings recieve his award in the form of a bronzed Lettuce Roll.

[never4get]

Very Funny!!!!!

[Carolinamom]

Pinging for your records!

[Darksheare]

OMG, these are funny, but they aren't.
It just shows how looney the left is, and how they sit there and try to be straight faced with their denials of their bias.

[PJ-Comix]

"“We are about to show you bread lines in America that you may find hard to believe. With the recession there has been a sudden leap in the number of people on emergency food assistance. The lines we found looked like they’d been taken from the pages of the Great Depression...."

Soooo, Scott Pelley. How's the stock market been doing? What is the unemployment rate? Find out these answers and you will be VERY DISAPPOINTED.

[PJ-Comix]

It just shows how looney the left is, and how they sit there and try to be straight faced with their denials of their bias.

One thing most of these quotes have in common---The melodrama. These reporters and commentators love acting like drama queens. The Scott Pelley quote I just cited is but one example. He sees FOOD LINES with HUNGRY PEOPLE just like in the GREAT DEPRESSION.

[Darksheare]

Yeah.
Gotta love how they play everything up.
They see themselves as shapers of opinion rather than reporters of news.
A certain broadcast company arrogantly states as much in their advert for themselves.
"Leading shaper of opinion for 'x' amount o fyears!" they smugly state.

These "hungry" American stories are popping up more regularly since Bush got elected. There was a story in my local paper a while back about some poor people in the area forced to visit food pantries because they lost their jobs. So they interviewed one "hungry" person who was now making the trips to the local food pantry. She was so fat she could hardly fit in the photograph they had of her visiting the pantry.

Incidentally my fiancee did a tour by car of many states last Summer from Wisconsin to Arizona and back. If there are millions of unseen starving people out there, it must because they can't be seen through the hordes of overweight Americans we saw.
