What I do not understand is why you all need to "freep" Disney in order to try and stop Moore's video about the connection between Bush and bin Laden. If the video and Moore are such a joke and full of lies like you say, then why are you all so nervous about its release? And what difference does it make if it is to be released just prior to the election if Bush and his cronies have nothing to hide? My only complaint about Moore's video is that it is not covering the right topic. It should be a...

On May 11, 2003, it was reported that the folks who brought you Bambi, Snow White and Mickey, are about to unveil their new project which is sure to endear themselves to a new generation of America's youngsters; Michael Moore bashing America and President George W. Bush. In the words of Michael Moore, as reported by Drudge, "The primary thrust of the new film is what has happened to the country since Sept. 11, and how the Bush administration used this tragic event to push its agenda." Yes, this is the same Michael Moore who a reporter in Japan asked,...

Michael Moore is trying to tie Bush to bin Laden! His film is scheduled to be released in 2004, in the middle of the campaign! And Disney's Miramax is reportedly financing this hit piece!Of course we must boycott Disney and Miramax. But letters (hard copy ones, ones they have to hold in their hands and look at) are another effective way of getting the message out that America doesn't want Michael Moore's Bush-bashing films in their marketplace!!Here are some contact numbers and street addresses to mail your letters to. Please remember: the person who answers the phone may have NO...

ABC is broadcasting the Dem's desperation far and wide! Their entire program was dedicated to slamming President Bush's visit to the Lincoln. I find it amazing that this issue has become such an enormous talking point for the Democrats. Obviously, they don't have anything of substance to criticize about, and they are grasping at straws.

More Bias? More and more reporters are stepping out to disclose bias in the press. First was CBS News reporter Bernard Goldberg, a 28-year veteran of the network until being forced off the air, charging that bias at the big-three network is so obvious and comes so naturally to media luminaries such as Dan Rather that "it's hardly worth discussing anymore." Oh, yes, it is worth discussing, says Peter Collins, for nine years ABC News' correspondent in Central America, reporting for "World News Tonight" and "Nightline." Recently retired from journalism and feeling "liberated," Mr. Collins charges that ABC anchorman Peter...

W A S H I N G T O N, April 25 — To build its case for war with Iraq, the Bush administration argued that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, but some officials now privately acknowledge the White House had another reason for war — a global show of American power and democracy Officials inside government and advisers outside told ABCNEWS the administration emphasized the danger of Saddam's weapons to gain the legal justification for war from the United Nations and to stress the danger at home to Americans. "We were not lying," said one official. "But...

Wednesday, April 23, 2003Hollywood Appeasers Cash In on Anti-U.S. RantsDon't believe the whining of Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon and other Tinseltown leftists who claim they're paying a price for opposing Operation Iraqi Freedom. They're getting rich from their anti-U.S. activism, according to the liberal Washington Post. Consider this boast from Janeane Garofalo, who still refuses to make the apology she so publicly promised after Iraqi citizens welcomed their U.S.-led liberators. "I knew when I started speaking out that it was going to be unpleasant, and I’ve taken my punches. But the positives have far outweighed the negatives,” she...

Brought together for the first time, they share stories of the bizarre world created by cult leader David Koresh and discuss living with the realization that their parents were willing to abandon them to follow Koresh to their graves. In addition, these survivors confront the former FBI agent who was in charge of the failed negotiations with Koresh — the first time someone involved in the siege has agreed to meet with them face to face. Primetime will also air never-before-seen footage of the children's disturbing therapy sessions from 1993, which demonstrate the eerie effectiveness of Koresh's brainwashing techniques. The...

Bush supporters have been deluging ABC with calls and e-mails, complaining about a sitcom the network has in development starring outspoken war protester Janeane Garofalo. ABC HAS reportedly been working on the comedy, in which Garofalo plays a producer at a TV newsmagazine.

ABC's Peter Jennings again emphasized the negative on Tuesday night, passing along how one embedded reporter, whom he did not name, claimed that as the unit with which he was traveling moved into farmland outside of Baghdad, they went from “the desert where they waved at us” to an area where “they don't wave at us any more.” But minutes later, ABC's John McWethy marveled at the “surprising development” that “a trickle of Iraqi civilians are now risking their lives to help British and American forces find weapons catches and Saddam Hussein loyalists” and that, “for first time, two Iraqis...

I am in shock. If you didn't know what was going on and turned on this show, you'd think we were losing, ill-equipped, the Iraqis are strong and are unified to kill us. You would believe that we are killing civilians...in short...WE ARE THE BAD GUYS. They intervied an American soldier, who said in disgust "They thought it was going to be a cakewalk, but they're learning that it's tough to take over a country." He said THEY like he wasn't a part of it. It was unbelievable. I am incensed, my husband and I kept looking at each other...

<p>B A G H D A D, Iraq, March 29 — The round-the-clock air assault on elite Iraqi troops standing between allied forces and Baghdad was set to intensify, as U.S. ground commanders try to get their frontline forces resupplied for an eventual push toward the Iraqi capital.

The Most Biased Network During the Pre-War Months Now Offers the Most Biased Iraq War CoverageABC’s War News Touts Doubt and Dissent      Peter Jennings may have been late for the war — while Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather were reporting the first U.S. air strikes last Wednesday, ABC viewers had to wait a half-hour for Jennings’ arrival — but the anchor’s bias has been far more problematic than his tardiness. ABC’s coverage of the first days of Operation Iraqi Freedom have revealed the network’s pattern of boosting anti-war protesters while denying the benefits of U.S. action:     • Thursday, March...

Of all the questions posed to Operation Iraqi Freedom commander Tommy Franks at his Saturday briefing, ABC anchor Peter Jennings decided to highlight just one on World News Tonight: How he “was asked a very challenging question” about how weapons of mass destruction was “a big lie” to “justify your invasion of Iraq.” Jennings intoned on the March 22 World News Tonight: “In his first war briefing from the U.S. central command site at Doha in Qatar, U.S. commander Tommy Franks faced reporters from all over the world who were there and at one point he was asked a very...

<p>March 23, 2003--The broadcast media have, by and large, done a terrific job since the beginning of the war.</p> <p>One exception is ABC News- and not just because ABC failed to cut away from its moronic programming on Wednesday night to inform its viewers that a war was underway.</p>

By Elma Barrera ABC13 Eyewitness News (3/14/03) — Talk of war with Iraq has sparked an atmosphere of tension and anxiety. And it may be to blame for a brawl that broke out at the rodeo Thursday night. ABC-13 report With some 15,000 to 20,000 folks at the rodeo drinking beer and having fun, things can get a little out of hand at times. It happened when a tape of Lee Greenwood's song Proud To Be An American was playing. Some rodeo fans were standing and others were sitting down. Felix Fanaselle and his buddies chose to remain seated. "This...

Members of the DC Chapter were invited by Nightline to participate in a town hall meeting on the pending war with Iraq because, as we were told, they didn't want the audience in the show to be taken over by those against the war. We were told that they wanted the audience to represent the national trend in the country, which is currently 65-35 in favor of the President's policy on Iraq. What we experienced during the hour and forty-minute taping was the exact opposite of what we had been led to believe. The show started out balanced. The questions...

When war could be just days away, Ted Koppel will host a 90-minute town meeting tonight on the war in Iraq: WHY NOW? Has the Bush administration made its case to you? Do you support the U.S. acting without the support of a new United Nations resolution? Without the support of many of our longtime allies? Without Turkey as a military staging area? We'll talk about all of that and more - tonight.----The scuttlebutt around Washington these days is that war is coming soon....very soon. And a majority of Americans, 6 of 10, support it. But within that support, which...

Nearly six of every 10 people support President Bush's plan to disarm Iraq, by force if needed, according to a poll released Monday. But 24 percent have serious reservations about a war, while still supporting the president. About a third, or 34 percent, support his policy without reservations, according to the ABC News-Washington Post poll. Another 37 percent say they oppose the policy. Among reasons cited most often by those who oppose the Bush policy or have reservations: the need for more international support or the support of the United Nations; the potential loss of life; concern that the United...
