Really news? Too much to hope for. Amazing. There is a conscience at CNN.

1000

Dana Bash (Bush) seems to think 'the news conferences' and 'question and answer session' with the public is something the White House has no choice in 'performing.'

There is an alternative, Ms. Bash did not explore. Impeachment.

1005

The Democratic Candidate from Chicago. How about that? A segment worth watching.

1010

David Gergen. I would think you would be more positive about the Democrats, David. After all they didn't lie, they didn't corrupt the nation, or run the country into debt. They ARE the candidates with conscience and good government. Come now, Mr. Gergen. Let's get over this already.

I told you so. There are a lot of dead people buried on the Gulf Coast yet. "An intimacy" of one human being searching for another. Did the desire for searching of every increment of remains not exist after 911? It's high time that same sentiment arrived on the Gulf Coast. That love of fellow citizens should have existed long before, LONG BEFORE, Katrina ever arrived. The Gulf Coast just like every other case of negligence and incompetent became a 'Blame Game' i.e. "The problem..." according to MIchael Brown, "...were the Democrats in Louisiana." If that is not politics in the face of human tragedy don't ask me what is?

The news secretary. Steady as she goes, Anderson. It is about time you all started looking like Americans rather than Bush's puppets.

Rob Marciano. One degree centigrade since 1975. That is a lot of calories when one considers the size of the oceans.

The 'storms' of the Atlantic have increased in intensity since the vortices of the in October 2002. The 'end of the storm season.'

This is the lack of conscience that is also immoral.

Let's start with this:

Again. The ONLY place on the planet that debates the issues is Bush's America.

Public service ads aim to raise awareness about global warming
BY SANDY BAUERS
Knight Ridder Newspapers
PHILADELPHIA - Your favorite TV show has ended. You've just seen the ads for Lipitor and light beer, and here comes another:
"Tick. Tick. Massive heat waves.
One after another, the faces of small children appear.
Tick. Tick. Severe droughts.
The kids look serious, maybe even upset.
Tick. Go to
www.globalwarming.com. While there's still time."
Yikes - did some ad exec get lost on a horror movie set? Not quite.
Fred Krupp, president of Environmental Defense, has teamed with the Ad Council, which has challenged social norms with public service campaigns like "Friends don't let friends drive drunk" and Nancy Reagan's "Just say no."
In a series of TV and radio spots that one publicist termed "edgy" - and that a global warming skeptic called "the ultimate triumph of propaganda over science" - the group is hoping to spawn a massive shift in social awareness that will send millions rushing to turn down their thermostats, inflate their car tires and recycle their plastic.

Denial of the fact this is high level of carbon dioxide due to human induced reasons is complete suicide. So what if the storms were increasing over the last nine years. Global warming has been an issue since the invention of the the railroads in the late 1800s. Xince 1960 scientists have been measuring the makedly noticable trend. I am assuming you all have heard of the Mauna Loa Labortories? This is the most hideous argument I have heard by a '?climatologist?' - Rob? I mean for real already. Are you actually that unsure? I am not and most of the world scientists are not. Time to join the communities of conscience. Perhaps you have heard about the conscience driven Christians that have come out to support the opposition to the continued abuse of the planet. I can't believe after all this time this news team has no clear message about Global Warming and Climate Change but simply uses the subject to promote it's popular exploitation of extreme weather. It's a darn shame. AC360 the staff of 'fence sitters.'

It's time for the LA Terror Hour of AC360. Frankenstein is still insulting the viewership.

Dana "Bash" Bush
"It's time to put a government in place (in Iraq.)" Bush.

It's time? It's long past time. It is however time to put a government in Washington, DC.

1104

The Kents believe Mr. Kent is a better journalist than any other news media service.

Oh?

He states the bridge the GIs were building was a priority for Iraq.

Oh?

I thought bridges were important for transport vehicles like the trucks Halliburton runs around Iraq. Right? Bridges? They are a strategic issue for the military. The soldiers are doing their job in the heat because it is a military project. Military projects aren't supposed to be the mechanism whereby Iraq is rebuilt. The Iraqis are supposed to be rebuilding Iraq. This such nonsense.

1111

Journalists are endangering soldiers. Excuse me but these men and women that report the war are doing so as imbeds. Not only that but they put their lives on the line. Nic is right the American media is not recruiting Jihadists. We call them suicide bombers. Al Jazeera calls them martyrs. This is more hideous stuff. You tell them, Nic.

1116

Michael Yon is an asshole. He is nothing but 'mind speak.' He has to be for his closed minded readership. The GIs are complaining about the media because they have such poor leadership. I am sure they complained about the media in Vietnam as well. Too bad. The nation is not about to stand behind immorality, prisoner abuse, lies and deceit for the sake of blowing smoke up the butts of GIs so they can have their morale'. Sorry. Lives are more important than egos here. The media far outshines in helping rather than hindering any effort in Iraq. If it weren't for the media like The New York Times, the American Soldier wouldn't have improving conditions or remotely adequate armor. Any 'insurgent' network does not need the American media to carry out it's plans. That is so stupid. How many people in Iraq even speak English, yet alone understand the sophisticated debate the American people engage in daily. Go straight to hell Anderson. You are NOT a good pier to other journalists. You know countries jail journalists for exactly these issues. Go straight to hell. This discussion is a 'designer' discussion to change the tone of the debate at a time when Bush is struggling for votes for his party this Novermber.

Get over it. People that criticize the media NEVER speak about the good the profession brings. If it weren't for The New York Times, there would never be the identity of 'The Military Class' instead of The Lower Middle Class where they were once consider to be and there would never be improved death benefits for families whom in the past lived in poverty worse than their military service poverty. The criticism is hideous.

Enough.
