What media bias? This media bias
Right after President Bushs address to the nation last night, ABC reporter Dean Reynolds went out interviewing Katrina victims. He asked Bush-bashing baiting questions, however the woman he interviewed didnt bite on to it.
Note: Around the 17 second mark you can tell Reynolds cut her off to ask her another question because he was unhappy with the result.

This is a great video showing an intelligent evacuee brusing off Dean Reynolds from ABC
Bernard Goldberg has plenty of material for a sequel to "Bias."
Haha...that reporter was apparently frustrated with that woman.
This is priceless!
Anyone have a link to the full ABC smackdown video?
follow the link
Just wonderful! - The fact is the MSM have to try and spin this story negative against the federal Gov't (GWB) because if anyone just uses their own common sense....they know that there is any fault to go around it is at the local and State levels (not the federal level at all!).
Heard the description on Rush a few minutes ago. It sounds hillarious. I am glad to hear that maybe these folks down in NO aren't quite out of it yet. In fact, given enough information and an outlet for it, they can probably kiss old Mayor Nagin goodbye in a recall vote! They seem to have a handle on who was responsbile for them. What is frustrating is how they folks on the bridge with Shep from Fox News didn't get it. Were these folks coached to react that way?
Even before the speech it started.
I missed the very first part but during the intro, before the prez was even on, the commentator said something to the effect that this was not the correct place to have this speech because energy was hard to come by in NO. I don't remember the words exactly but if somebody recorded it they could review and post the comments that took place before the speech even started. I am not even sure of the network but it was one of the big 3.
all I can say is ...
WOW!!!!!!!!
That is absolutely perfect!

She suckered that reporter very nicely.

"Bernard Goldberg has plenty of material for a sequel to "Bias.""
He does in fact have a sequel, titled "ARROGANCE." A good if bile-rising read.
Cheers
Here is another site with the complete transcript!!!!!

Really Great
He already published Arrogance as a sequel. Even, so the evidence keeps growing at an enormous rate. Should call the next book Still Biased or Even More Bias?
Yes I heard the energy thing, but they didn't followup with the fact that the energy was provided by generators brought in by the White Hhouse.....
How about IMPOTENCE?
I thought you left!!!!!
Good to see you! (is Mr. King still with us?)
Here is the transcript...........................
Reynolds elicited reaction from the group sitting in chairs: I'd like to get the reaction of Connie London who spent several horrible hours at the Superdome. You heard the President say retpeaedly that you are not alone, that the country stands beside you. Do you believe him?
Connie London: Yeah, I believe him, because here in Texas, they have truly been good to us. I mean-
Reynolds: Did you get a sense of hope that you could return to your home one day in New Orleans?
London: Yes, I did. I did.
Reynolds: Did you harbor any anger toward the President because of the slow federal response?
London: No, none whatsoever, because I feel like our city and our state government should have been there before the federal government was called in. They should have been on their jobs.
Reynolds: And they weren't?
London: No, no, no, no. Lord, they wasn't. I mean, they had RTA buses, Greyhound buses, school buses, that was just sitting there going under water when they could have been evacuating people.
Reynolds: Now, Mary, you were rescued from your house which was basically submerged in your neighborhood. Did you hear something in the President's words that you could glean some hope from?
Mary: Yes. He said we're coming back, and I believe we're coming back. He's going to build the city up. I believe that.
Reynolds: You believe you'll be able to return to your home?
Mary: Yes, I do.
Reynolds: Why?
Mary: Because I really believe what he said. I believe. I got faith.
Reynolds: Back here in the corner, we've got Brenda Marshall, right?
Brenda Marshall: Yes.
Reynolds: Now, Brenda, you were, spent, what, several days at the Superdome, correct?
Marshall: Yes, I did.
Reynolds: What did you think of what the President told you tonight?
Marshall: Well, I think -- I think the speech was wonderful, you know, him specifying that we will return back and that we will have like mobile homes, you know, rent or whatever. I was listening to that pretty good. But I think it was a well fine speech.
Reynolds: Was there any particular part of it that stood out in your mind? I mean, I saw you all nod when he said the Crescent City is going to come back one day.
Marshall: Well, I think I was more excited about what he said. That's probably why I nodded.
Reynolds: Was there anything that you found hard to believe that he said, that you thought, well, that's nice rhetoric, but, you know, the proof is in the pudding?
Marshall: No, I didn't.
Reynolds: Good. Well, very little skepticism here. Frederick Gould, did you hear something that you could hang on to tonight from the President?
Frederick Gould: Well, I just know, you know, he said good things to me, you know, what he said, you know. I was just trying to listen to everything they were saying, you know.
Reynolds: And Cecilia, did you feel that the President was sincere tonight?
Cecilia: Yes, he was.
Reynolds: Do you think this is a little too late, or do you think he's got a handle on the situation?
Cecilia: To me it was a little too late. It was too late, but he should have did something more about it.
Reynolds: Now do you all believe that you will one day return to your homes?
Voices: Yes and I do.
Reynolds: I mean, do you all want to return to your homes? We're hearing some people don't even want to go back.
Mary: I want to go back.
Reynolds: You want to go back.
Mary: I want to go back. That's my home. That's all I know.
Reynolds: Is it your home for your whole life?
Mary: Right. That's my home.
Reynolds: And do you expect to go back to the house or a brand new dwelling or what?
Mary: I expect to go back to something. I know it ain't my house, because it's gone.
Reynolds: What is the one mistake that could have been prevented that would have made your lives much better? Is it simply getting all of you out much sooner or what was it?
Mary: I'm going to tell you the truth. I had the opportunity to get out, but I didn't believe it. So I stayed there till it was too late.
Reynolds: Did you all have the same feeling? I mean, did you all have the opportunity to get out, but you were skeptical that this was the really bad one?
Unnamed woman: No, I got out when they said evacuate. I got out that Sunday and I left before the storm came. But I know they could have did better than what they did because like they said, buses were just sitting there, and they could have came through there and got people out, because they were saying immediate evacuation. Some people didn't believe it. But they should have brung the force of the army through to help these people and make them understand it really was coming.
London: And really it wasn't Hurricane Katrina that really tore up the city. It was when they opened the floodgates. It was not the hurricane itself. It was the floodgates, when they opened the floodgates, that's where all the water came.
Reynolds: Do you blame anybody for this?
London: Yes. I mean, they've been allocated federal funds to fix the levee system, and it never got done. I fault the mayor of our city personally. I really do.
Reynolds: All right. Well, thank you all very much. I wish you all the best of luck. I hope you don't have to spend too much more time here in the Reliant Center and you can get back to New Orleans as the President said. Ted, that is the word from the Houston Astrodome. And as I said, when the President said that the Crescent City will rise again, there were nods all around this parking lot.
Ping for later
Right about the time I'd hearly given up all hope for America...along comes this little gem to revive my spirit. God grant that we may have more clear thinking such as this by Americans every where.
