ANNOUNCEMENT: NBC Nightly News Mentions Reid Scandal along with Foley
NBC News | Self

Posted on 10/12/2006 3:42:19 PM PDT by katieanna

Brian Williams of NBC news just made mention of the AP investigation regarding Senator Reid as he reported on the House page scandal. Many wondered if the mainstream media would mention it at all.

I read where ABC,NBC, CBS and CNN had a combined total of over 125 stories on their channels over the past few weeks on Foley alone. Not, quiet quid pro quo.

How true indeed!

I just forwarded a tip to ABC News as they failed to address the story or to admit that their news coverage is highly biased in favor of the 'rats. MSM need all the help we can give them.

Why? Is there a governors election in Nevada this year? Are they hoping that there will be a dem governor to appoint his replacement?

I sent three e-mails to FOX (Hume, Hannity, and programming)comparing two weeks of non-stop Foley coverage, vs. nary a whisper about Harry Reid's land deals.

Let's hope so! I guess he's going to kick and scream till the bloody end just like others in his party, rather than resign for the good of the party AND his country.

By the by...NV has a GOP governor, Guinn.

*Maniacal laugh* It's going to be fun watching them eat their own.

I just was interested as to whether the media would cover it with the ferver they've given Foley.

We have a better chance of being hit by:

Two sentences max. I watched.

it followed a long, detailed report on Foley's aide testifying for 5 hours today, who will testify tomorrow, and showwed clip of Bush campaigning with Hastert today.

Perfunctory

There was speculation floating a couple weeks ago that Reid would step down so Hillary Clinton could become the Dem leader in the Senate.

There were 2 theories on that:

1 - That the party were dangling that carrot for Hillary to not run for the presidency.

2 - That Hillary would prefer being Senate Majority Leader (assuming Dems take control of the Senate), as that would be a better platform for her 'leadership' than a polarizing a presidential run.

I loved the 'joke' closure on Special Report.

There had evidently been some flak about a 'D' after foley's name at one time, so they checked their archives.

A 'D' was shown after Nixon, Michael Jackson, and several others.

BFD. I'll be satisfied when they run 3 special reports a day on Reid. Of course I'll be satisfied when my wife lets me have a live in 25 YO girl friend. About equal likelihood for both of those situations to occur.
