Wow--Paglia nails it! Thanks for the post. I just watched Sean Penn on CNN talking about how no-one is rescuing all those poor people stuck in their houses--like he was yesterday. Now that is PATHETIC! CNN has lost all pretense of being in the least bit objective. That guy Cafferty played the race-card so fast--and the whole network has stacked the deck, and the reporting, against Bush from the get go!

The MSM- the only industry where they can have their cake and eat it too. no matter what is done, there's always something to complain about.

That is so true. Could I use it?

Sadly, I suspect you are correct. if not tomorrow, certainly later someone will 'spin' the presence of the military in N.O. as racism.

Reading CNN transcripts is an eye-opener. Their guests, their anchors, their talking head experts, their phone in politicians, they're all out to nail Bush. No one else can get a CNN word in edgewise.

Oh, God, Ithaca! NY State's City of Evil. No surprise there.

Just curious - what is "no surprise"?

It's no surprise that someone from Ithaca, probably the biggest liberal city around here would write something stupid like this.

It just goes to show that the left is losing the PR battle.

They're running out of excuses to blame Bush.

I thought that might be what you had in mind. Let me begin by letting you know that I'm the author of the article. Governsleastgovernsbest = Finkelstein.

Next, if you'll go back and read the article carefully, you'll see that far from agreeing with what the Today Show did, I was very critical of it.

Start with the headline: "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished." In other words, putting the additional troops into New Orleans was a good deed, but it was being punished by the liberal media.

Next, check out my conclusion: that the MSM is being unfair to W because their approach is "damned if you do, damned and you don't."

I think this is a case of blaming the messenger on your part.

For years, I've made a specialty of reporting on liberal bias at the Today show. I do it for the very purpose of criticizing and exposing that bias. If you continue to read these threads, or go back and read some past ones, you'll see what I mean.

So I won't take offense at your 'stupid' comment, but do hope you will consider more carefully in the future before letting fly with such comments.

I heartily agree with most of your post except giving foxnews more credit than it deserves. There have been several instances in recent days where homework has not been done and lies and distortions simply remain unchallenged. As days passed I noticed each anchor trying to outdo the other with their misplaced anger and resentment but Russert took first place yesterday as he became unglued.

There will be no TV today unless to watch a movie or the Food Network.

Any clue whether Weldon will bring forth his witnesses tomorrow as promised?

Not so fast. Have you checked the listings for The Food Network?

Funny....I thought it was just the DUers who were getting paranoid yesterday that the operation was being militarized, even moaning that the "soldiers" were using terms like: mission, theatre of operations, and CHOPPERS.

Guess the DUers would have preferred that we air-dropped grief counselors into New Orleans to deal with armed gangs of rapists and murderers.

If Bush walked across Lake Ponchatrain, they would say, "See, He Can't Swim."

You inspired some very funny food comments!!! (That might be a hanging offense, almost as bad as shoe shopping on your vacation!)

I can't imagine Weldon will move on the Able Danger hearings this week. Certainly not before the Roberts Hearing begins, and I think the start of that has been postponed until after the funeral, which is on Wednesday. But I'm not double checking anything....I won't veg out on the food channel...it's old movie time for me.
