Comments on: The Public Eye Chat With…Allen Pizzey

[maxedout3]

"As a member of the military, I can tell you that Iraq is fairly safe; certainly safer than Detroit, Michigan, where there are 18-30 homicides per week in a two square mile radius around Detroit Mercy Hospital."

If Dearborn is more dangerous than Iraq then it is obviously time to bring the troops home. And it is obvious that the spending on the US military is being wasted and should be used to make our country safer at home.

The logic of the military defies common sense. The generals continually lie to the public and sacrifice our troops to protect their own pensions. The military cannot be trusted any longer. The war has been lost by corrupt and incompetent military leadership. It is time to admit that the enemy that the military cannot even identify are running circles around our tactics and leadership. Wehn you have led your troops into the middle of a minefield, it is not time to call for reinforcements.

Mr. Pizzey is another in the long line of CBS Bush haters. Just read between the lines. However I found something he didn't say to be more interesting than what he said. Millions of Africans die each year do to the idiotic ban on DDT, a pesticide that kills malaria baring mosquitos. No mention of that crisis Allen???

This typical Lib reporter says he "does his job" as a reporter, and then says John McCain speaks "utter rubbish". Gee, that's really unbiased! Thanks for just reporting "what you see and understand". If you did that, you Drive-By Media types would've reported at least ONE story about the good things that have been accomplished in Iraq. Yes, Pizzey, you have zero objectivity; it's very clear.

A reporter interviewing another reporter? That's basically a liberal talking with another liberal...there are no difficult questions, and of course they're going to agree with one another 100%.

As a member of the military, I can tell you that Iraq is fairly safe; certainly safer than Detroit, Michigan, where there are 18-30 homicides per week in a two square mile radius around Detroit Mercy Hospital. The homicide bombings that the terrorists carry out kill so many people precisely because they're feeling safe enough to go to the markets to shop, going to school to learn, etc. McCain is certainly more right than the reporter; Baghdad is reasonably safe. libs have to stop believing the bunk sold to them by anti-american slimebag reporters that appear on all the networks, like cnn, cbs, abc, nbc. Fox news is slanted too far to the right, but overall it's much closer to the truth than the other networks in terms of accuracy of reporting and impartiality.

If we look back at the last 4 years of reporting by the likes of Pizzey, we would conclude that absolutely nothing good whatsoever came from our efforts in Iraq. Where oh where are the sons and daughters of Ernie Pyle? The mainstream media correspondents of today feel they must show disdain for their own nation in order to present some image of 'objectivity'. If this war ends badly it will be due not to the terrorists, but to the American left....the Democrat party, the imperial press, the ACLU, and the lawyers. What a poisonous congregation of malevolence.

yeah i'm going with Mccain on this. This reporter and michael ware are full of ***. And in case anybody wondering if I have ever been anywhere near Iraq--twice. Yes not neighborhoods are safe but for the most part it is DEFINITELY better than what's being reported by cnn, abc, cbs, and nbc...oh don't forget bbc too. These reporters try to pass themselves off as objective please give me a break! the sad fact is most Americans are brainwashed by this *** and don't know any better...

[Krunch1]

I think Mr. Pizzey is letting his anti-war bias show. The personnel that I have talked with have all echoed what Senator McCain said. This is another example of a liberal reporter trying to pass himself off as an "objective" reporter.

Allen Pizzy says quote:---I think that part of our job as journalists, as news organizations, is to go out and say to people, "this is an important news story. This is something you should know about. This is something that cannot be ignored.--------My Answer is, no Allen you don't need to tell me what is important, what I need to know...I don't need you as my gatekeeper, as a matter of fact I don't need you or CBS at all, which is why I never watch CBS News or any of its' news programs. In the new the new internet media era I am my own gatekeeper and I alone determine what is important and what I need to know and for that matter from whom I will hear it.

hey wkiernan, have you actually listened to the way Iraq is presented on ABC,CBS, NBC, CNN? If you have, and you detect at least a semblance of anti-Bush bias, then the conversation is over.

You are right most of us have not been within 5,000 miles of Iraq and I dare say that I'm pretty sure you haven't either. You chose to believe, Pizzey. I chose to believe McCain.

Based on McCain track record versus that of the main stream media, I%u2019m pretty comfortable with my choice.
