DID ANYONE SEE NBC NEWS TONIGHT?
Labor Day | MrChips

Posted on 09/06/2004 5:36:43 PM PDT by MrChips

I am just stunned. I could not believe what I was seeing on the airwaves of Pravda . . . ahem . . I mean, it's affiliate, NBC. I rarely watch the alphabet channels, certainly not for their "news". But, tonight I happened to flip from FOX over to NBC to see how they played their political stories on Labor Day. Normally, we see candidates at balloon-attired picnics with checkered tablecloths or marching in a Labor Day parade on some big city's main street. And so, yes, I do see President Bush landing his helicopter in a field of 10,000 thrilled and cheering Missourians who had asked him to come, even petitioned him to come, to the All-American setting of Poplar Bluff. Wonderful Americana. Then I see Kerry . . . . in the Democrat stronghold of Cleveland, of all places . . . being heckled! There, in the midst of what ought to have been a very carefully planned Labor Day kickoff event in the all-important state of Ohio, Kerry was having to deal with a large contingent of people carrying Bush signas and yelling "Four More Years!" And to my amazement, NBC covered it! Even came close to ridiculing Kerry in their comments. My God! Someone wake me up! I must be dreaming!

I have stopped watching the alphabet stations because of their horrid bias. Can they be turning on Kerry because they are worried he is going to lose anyway and they don't want to lose the viewership of us?????? I wish I had seen that. Thanks for the report. You made me smile.

ok to counter this feel good story...

what is up with this "goof" that President Bush did today? I'm flipping through the channels and hearing Keith Olberman running his trap about something.

The MSM prefers to feed on Rebublican blood... but when the waters are dyed red with Rat blood, they have no choice but to treat it like chum.

Maybe they think the protesters will make Bush look bad. They will do ANYTHING to push Kerry.

This is not a media waking up to the facts. This is just a stroke of luck for you. They'll be back to normal before you know it.

But for posting that uplifting NBC millisecond, you win this link: http://www.whiskeycreekpress.com/books/electivedecisions.shtml

They're probably busy working on Hillary's '08 campaign.

ABC News started shifting more towards the center over the past 6 to 9 months. With the popularity and success of FOX News, the alphabet channels will be forced to be more fair. Not that the big three are still not choking on their own liberal bias (because they are), but I have seen a huge improvement in ABC News (especially what their web site reports) since early Spring, if not perhaps a bit earlier. Maybe NBC is next?

Glad that they covered it, BTW they estimated 30,000 for Bush in Missouri.

I know you didn't get this right, Chip. It couldn't have been NBC. I'll bet you were dreaming.

Well my friend, I don't watch the alphabets but I have in the past. I can assure you that I don't believe a word you have typed here. No Sir, not a word. NBC? Yeah, sure. LOL
