General Batiste was fired for speaking the truth? Must be rewarding for following the dictates of an immoral and corrupt White House and we hear it pays good too. The news in America is about as UN AMERICAN AS IT CAN GET!; Reply to this comment

Now that the Old Guard like Koppel and Rather have been run off, I think the anchor has less sway over the choice of coverage -- I could be wrong. So, as long as the news staff is good, and her celebrity doesn't get in their way, all Katie's really got to do is make me like watching her present their stories. She does that.

The biggest systematic problem I've seen so far has been one shared by all serious journalists, which is a lack of confidence in reporting the story, a timidity about how it will be received by "Real Americans", which you think are all Red State Hicks who love Bush. Once you have the confidence to let your reporting stand on its own, and defend it, you'll gain your audience.; Reply to this comment

I can't believe you fired a man who had quit his first job so he could be honest...for being honest. The General has more scruples in his little finger than you have all day long.
