Bush uses bin Laden quotes for war rally (Headline by Nedra Pickler - Another AP disgrace)
The AP via Yahoo! News ^ | September 5, 2006 | Nedra Pickler

WASHINGTON - Quoting repeatedly from Osama bin Laden, President Bush said Tuesday that pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq would fulfill the terrorist leader's wishes and propel him into a more powerful global threat in the mold of Adolf Hitler.

With two months until an Election Day that hinges largely on national security, Bush laid out bin Laden's vision in detail, including new revelations from previously unreported documents. Voters were never more united behind the president than in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, and his speech was designed to convince Americans that the threat has not faded five years later.

You'd write mean things too if your name was Nedra Pickler.

Nedra Pickler herself probably didn't write the biased headline, just the biased article. Biased editors often write the biased headlines.

I will never forget the first paragraph of the story that Pickler (almost certain it was her) wrote about the second, I believe, Bush-Kerry debate. That one paragraph contained five democrat talking points. It was an embarrassment in its shamelessness and lack of objectivity.......I heard during the 2004 campaign that one of AP's Washington guys that year said that it was his "mission" to help defeat Bush. This from what is supposed to be just a straight, news-providing service.

Editors do write the headlines at the larger papers, although readers often blame the reporter. At smaller papers, the reporters themselves sometimes/often lay out pages and write headlines.

"war rally "

It sounded that way to me. Did anyone pick up on the martial music following the speech that played for about fifteen minutes while the President chatted with the officers? (on C-Span, Fox cut away about five minutes after the speech was over)

Fear the Pickler.

LOL! That's like a movie tagline on a poster.

And the background is all dark, and you can just make out the lumpy green surface of a giant pickle towering over a cowering babe in a t-shirt, who is just about to turn around and see...

Yeah, she must be a real pistol, huh?

Go on, try saying it with passion: "Oh yeah, Nedra, baby..."
