Monkeying With The News

(New York Post)

Front page of the week. Maybe even the year.

Leave it to the New York Post.

No doubt, James Baker and Lee Hamilton were gratified to see the work of the Iraq Study Group welcomed with such penetrating insight and thoughtful analysis. You just know this will be a collector's item.

Meantime, watch out for those banana peels...

Yet we never hear CBS describe the NYTimes as a left-wing newspaper??????? HHMMMMMMM.......; Reply to this comment


by frb01 December 8, 2006 12:09 AM EST: We want our citizens to be participants in governing this country, then why critize their efforts on an issue such as Iraq, has the media taken a Walter Cronkite stand somewhere that I missed? This Bush Administration failed, the Senate and House failed, so maybe this group will succeed. And now with just about everyone saying we have a problem, let's do something instead of taking shots at people who are trying to right the ship, ie the Baker group.; Reply to this comment

by finewoven December 7, 2006 7:20 PM EST: You know, the media makes so much money off wars, it makes sense that Fox (who owns the New York Post)doesn't want to depict this brave analysis of the present situation in Iraq with the respect it deserves. Look back to the yellow press and the fortune that Randolf Hearst made off the manipulation of the Spanish American war. It is somewhat pathetic that Fox News would prefer to keep the killing going in Iraq to maintain viewership of their news broadcasts. Every time I have watched their channel I get the perspective that they are so arrogant, especially Bill O'Reilly with his massive ego. But they make big money through the support of the right-wing conservative war-machine. I think they claim to be Christians too. Lord have Mercy.; Reply to this comment
