I would not wish Antrax on Tom Brokaw and certainly not his assistant. I pray for her health and that of all Americans at this time of crisis. This is unlike any war we have fought since the revolution. The enemy is here and already well entrenched. I wonder how long it will be before our leaders free us citizens to do what we must to erradicate the enemy threat from our shores forever?

It was house to house 200 years ago. This new threat may require the same approach.

Scholar....

Brokaw, like the others, are news readers, nothing more. The impression that they are somehow worldly knowledgeable, is a mantle they use to cloak themselves. Brokaw was brought into the world of reality in one day by one person and it must depress him terribly, knowing that all the socialist garbage he has been spewing for years has gained him nothing. Now he has to be afraid, now he has to rethink his views that have been so anti-American of late. As the president said, there is no middle ground, either you are with us, or against us. Brokaw has to decide.

Did you see the NYT's editorial yesterday praising GWB? I can't help wondering if the suspicious package received at the NYT hasn't influenced their editorial page. Maybe the terrorism hit a little too close to home? ...you know what they say about a liberal mugged. If the NYT and NBC has any more scares like this, they may soon be calling for the nuking of Afghanistan.

And if any suspicious packages show up at CBS, maybe we will even see Dan Blather wearing an American flag.

I can't help but think that you are correct. In addition, it is the knot-headed political ideology of the elite media that has helped create the fix that we are in today

Brokaw has long been a fanatical supporter of uncontrolled immigration, moral relativism, and multiculturalism. So long as it didn't affect him and his cushy little world in elite NYC society, everything was fine.

I lived in Texas a few years back and remember constantly reading stories about ranchers who lived in the border regions. Their lives were being destroyed by uncontrolled immigration from Mexico....their fences were torn down, their houses were broken into, their irrigation pipes were broken into, their cattle were slaughtered...and the mainstream media didn't give a hoot (except when the occasional rancher took a potshot at the illegals...then the media had a cow about how racist they were).

Well, Tom....the Third World has finally come for a visit...right into your cushy little office. I hope that multiculturalism is everything you'd dreamed it'd be.

What I find interesting is that -- 24 hours later -- I haven't seen any news report revealing this person's identity. That information can't be hard to come by. Is the media showing more respect for their peers than they would virtually anyone else?

I guess Tom now knows what it is like to be on the reciveing end of "INCOMING". Perhaps he will remove that smirk off of his face when talking about our military.

"removing the smirk off TOM's face "

I agree, and I think that the tatic of targetting the media will backfire on the terrorists (don't they realize what good allies they would be???)

Just like the way this country has come together, united as AMERICANS with a determined resolve to get these cowardly murderers.....the media is now going to have a very hard time "not feeling their pain" and starting to weaken our stance by showing the terrorist s HUMAN side!

WHICH IS A GOOD THING (finally)

Their lives were being destroyed by uncontrolled immigration from Mexico

That's what is interesting in this new economy after Sept 11, people who showed no mercy for Americans whose jobs were being taken by illegals or being sent to Mexico by NAFTA, would just say they should get another job and if they couldn't they are worthless. But they seem to have so much more sentiment toward the better paid people being laid off now. I guess when it's just some lowly worker finding their wages dropping or finding themselves out of work it's so much easier.

You're right. Excellent point.

The "media" and its so-called "journalists", with their disinformation, Liberal propaganda, and downright mendacity, are the main reason we face this dangerous situation right now. They deserve no respect. They certainly get none from me.

(Jennings is hopeless)

I agree with you 110% concerning Peter Jennings.

I watched him the other night for the first time in many years just to see if he is as bad as advertised. I have to admit to being shocked, not by just his words, but by the extremely negative attitude he has about our response to the events of 11 September. He seems bitter about it, not because of the death and destruction, but because it has brought the nation together, ignited a widespread patriotism never seen before by most living Americans and, most of all, pushed the job approval ratings of George Bush to record heights. You can read the bitterness in his eyes and in the tone of his voice. You don't even have to listen to the words.

Don't watch this guy. He does not support what is good and just. He is not with us and therefore he is with the terrorists.

Now you know how I feel after you gave that softball interview to klinton a couple days after the WTC attacks

Almost...I would say "Now you know the burning anger I felt listening to you lie and coverup and bend the truth and hide the truth to defend the worst President in American history, William Jefferson Clinton".

The problem we have is that the 65% of the US public that does not believe in overwhelming use of force still watches this crap.

Which goes hand in hand with the fact that the problem we have is that the same media has been promoting this apathy.

I imagine they will be in hysterics when 'nobody cares"

Bold mine. I hope you don't mind, as I agree with you completely.
