The growth of Middle East media is good. As Winston Churchill put it, "jaw jaw is better than war war" (although he doubtless pronouced it "wah wah").

"brainwashed war mongering puppets" - liberalme

When you have no points to make, namecall and stick to the talking points of your masters MoveOn.org and CodePink.

First of all, that wasn''t my first post, secondly, I don''t get my information from those sites----I READ!!
My concentration is not limited to rushlintball and unfair and unbalanced fox news.

What is Codepink? Is that a gay site or something?

Everyone posting has a right to think what they want about Bush or any other public offical. But I believe the point of the segment, unless I missed something, was to reveal the many different ways an event is reported depending on the views of the one doing the reporting. In a nut shell, that''s media bias.

Sorry--Bushs lies and deceit are public knowledge--only his brainwashed war mongering puppets disagree with the majority.

graumli,,,, You ever think about the possibility of 14 pages of Bush Bashing is simply because Bush is the most incompetent, corrupt, dishonest President this country has ever had & he''s losing in Iraq, Afaganistan & the War on Terror ?????

It turns out that there''s 14 pages of Bush-bashing "comments". Seems you''ve all missed the point of the segment..."news" coverage is almost always presented from the deliverer''s point of view and therefore flawed by bias.

In Israel, the President''s visit was portrayed as a belated effort to shore up the tentative peace-making efforts of two weak leaders - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

''That is all Bush was saying; he was AGREEING with thousands of people who have said "we should have bombed the camps"; people who have been saying this since 1945''

Sure, hindsight is 20/20. We also shouldn''t have invaded Iraq. That''s quite easy to see now.

You wouldn''t know Fascism if it was staring you in the face.
