NEW YORK -- News executives Thursday tried to shake off the excoriations of the media emanating from the Republican National Convention, defending their coverage of GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin as responsible and evenhanded.
______
"I really do take exception to it," NBC News President Steve Capus said. "These terms get thrown around in an awfully cavalier way, and they're incredibly damaging. We're in the business where words matter, and those are awfully, awfully strong accusations."

They're liberal partisans in the tank for Obama and they're still peddling the absurd nonsense they're truthful and objective! No one's buying it!

“media bias” is such an incredibly vicious term. We are talking about real people with real lives and livelihoods here. We ask that the Republicans and Senator John McCain take action to cease and desist this hate speech against America's free press!

You moron. Don’t you folks watch you own ‘reporters’ at the conventions cheering for obama and looking sad and depressed after Palin or McCain hit a homer? Or when those people diss Palin and McCain but never manage the same for obama? Or when they do a rectal exam on the Palin family but the obama family is off limits?
You CAN’T be that blind.
So, the conclusion is that you are doing it on purpose.
End of story.

“These terms get thrown around in an awfully cavalier way, and they’re incredibly damaging. We’re in the business where words matter, and those are awfully, awfully strong accusations.”
And these “awfully, awfully strong accusations” are so incredibly damaging because they are TRUE!

NBC News President Steve Capus... "We're in the business where words matter..."Looks like Matthews, Olbermann and Mitchell didn't get the memo.

They attacked her with everything they had but it’s turning back at them. I heard this morning that over ten thousand subscribers canceled their subscriptions to US mag over their article and their front page full of lies about Gov. Sarah Palin.
Here is my answer to the media I posted yesterday on You Tube

"I really do take exception to it," NBC News President Steve Capus said. "These terms get thrown around in an awfully cavalier way, and they're incredibly damaging. We're in the business where words matter, and those are awfully, awfully strong accusations." This coming from the guy whose coverage of politics is headed by the Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews duo.

They DID sell the plane on eBay. Listing an item for sale is selling. They may not have closed the deal there, but they did sell on eBay.
