WaPo: Bush Katrina video shows ‘nothing that was not already known’

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on March 4, 2006 at 6:04 pm

Well how about that?

In its substance, the video reveals nothing that was not already known from previously released transcripts and government investigations. But in politics, images carry a power far beyond written words, and the video, played again and again on cable television, instantly provided new fuel for an emotional debate.

More like ‘media-driven new fuel’ for those who want to demagogue the issue in an election year.

Thanks for nothing, MSM.

      It figures – in the MSM bubble the truth never quite catches up to the lie.:^o

    2. Baklava says:

      Anyone on the left want to apologize for their behavior? :-w

    3. sanity says:

      It will never happen.

      They will passthe blame to someone else, or it was a glitch, or if they do, it will be buried in the obituary section.

      We have allowed for personal responsibility to be removed from our culture. It is never your fault, it is someone elses. Don’t take responsibility if you can shift the blame.

      Former CNN anchor Aaron Brown has it in a nutshell:

      “The news in this country is a business,” he said. “You might not like to think of it that way, but it is.”

      Your credibility in the news is only as good as the truth you tell in reporting.

      It’s time for a drug test for Baklava!

      =d> Good one Dana! Apologize? If they can get past recognize, maybe they can consider it. :-j

      I told ya so\:d/ They ran the Cheney story into the ground, don’t want to discuss the fact that after everything was said and done, the dems didn’t change anything on the NSA spyingl-),David Gregory called the Imus Show while drunk:-" and they can’t let the public know that Bubba and Hil are not on the same page with regards to the ports[-(

      ST: Are y’all havin’ issues with selecting a post on your site or is it the way I’m holdin’ my mouth. I have to hit the refresh doodah. A lot.

      I had an old ford like that. Big blocks make heat I guess and the bendix would go all brokeback on ya. But ya jest put’em on a little hill and hell. Good to go. :">

      Pam nailed one thing: the Democrats have had a succession of kerfuffles that they saw as issues, which turned out to be nothing.

      I use WordPress (as does our wonderful hostess) as my blog software, and WordPress allows me to post-date entries. I’ve got one due to pop up on April 25th, to remind people about how the left was attacking President Bush on the Dubai Ports World issue, which I’m guessing will be a nothing. I’ve got one due to pop up in mid-May, asking people where the Cheney hunting accident story went; it’ll have been forgotten. And, I’ve got one due to pop up in December, with the predictions for 2006 posted on The Liberal Avenger; where we had predictions that Sam Alito’s nomination would be defeated and that there would be a rally of 100,000 people demanding impeachment by year’s end.

      Oh, puh-leeze! Your credibility in the news is only as good as your ability not to get caught telling a lie.

      This story is the gift that keeps on giving for the Democrats. Peace

    11. Mwalimu Daudi says:

      Thanks for the admission, steve!=d>

      But, wait a minute! Does the constant MSM campaigning for Democrats violate the McCain-Feingold campaign finance laws? Or is the MSM above the law? Why is Tom Delay being tried in court and not the MSM bigwigs?

    12. Baklava says:

      Time for prosecution for breaking the law (as liberals like to accuse all the time) Mwalimu

    13. steve says:

      Breaking what law? All weekend FOX News pushed the “we should invade Iran” propaganda routine. They were the only ones using this fearmonger tactic, so were they breaking a law? Or was it just another excercise in warmongering that they know so well? Peace

    14. sanity says:

      Fox news or the opinions of the commentators?

      There is a difference.

      O’Rielly is not Fox News, same with Hannity and Combs. They are commentators and not the news anchors or reporters.

      Same as Olberman, he is not the news, he is a commentator.

      Next….

    15. Baklava says:

      McCain Feingold campaign finance law. Or… they should clearly call themselves commenters instead of reporters. That’d cover it.
