"Scarecrow Woodruff" doing Rove's bidding to "silence blogs"....

[cthrumatrix]

She , Howie Kurts and another guest were "suggesting" blogs have "too much power and are not held accountable".

Excuse me !!!!!!!

What about the damn filth RW radio spouts 24x7 and is held to ZERO fact checking.

She is "conditioning the americans" to thinks "blogs are bad".


Your thoughts?

[jpgray]

1. BLOGS have too much power? Who let us get lied into a war, assholes?

:grr:

[Shopaholic]

3. When someone holds Faux accountable for their many, many

lies, and someone holds RW radio accountable for theirs, then I'll listen to their pathetic little arguments. Not until then. They are really trying to shut this all down aren't they? Face it, if the MSM did their damn jobs, bloggers wouldn't have to do it for them!

[Haymare22]

9. Cant have

..opposing views. Gotta be lemmings....

[ananda]

5. wtf

Who the fuck does she think she is?
I can't believe that Woodruff has sunk so far that she doesn't even know how low she's gone.

6. You don't want to know my thoughts!

They are the kinds of thoughts which make dogs go yelping
off into the distance.

The thoughts which make concerned mothers gather their
children into the house and close the shutters.

The thoughts which make grown men cross themselves and
spit.

I'm talking some pretty dark thoughts here.

It'll take a moment to compose myself.

:grr:

7. Freedom of speech is too powerful ??

She sounds confused.

[geniph]

8. Funny how none of them squawked about Drudge

when he was busy spreading lies about Clinton.

[Stirk]

10. That's a laugh. Corporate media complaining about the lack

of accountability.

[Junkdrawer]

12. Expect a CBS-Style sting soon...

Historically, Dictatorship and Free Speech are incompatible concepts.

[Hugin]

14. They're already trying to paint the "Gannon-thing" as such. n/t

[mattclearing]

13. I think people know better.

They are about five years late on lidding the Internet.

[BiggJawn]

30. No, plenty of Luddites out there...

...Who think the only thing you can find on "the Internets" are kiddie porn pictures and cheating spouses.

This will play right into Karl's hands.

But who holds the MSM accountable? would we ever had found out how far down his throat Armstrong Williamns was taking Karl (figuratively) if it hadn't been for some Blogger?

Who holds the BFEE accountable? Not the MSM, Bush OWNS them.

[kittenpants]

15. I like how the blogs scooped them on a major story so they're forced to

cover their asses with a segment acknowledging the blogs, but they spend the entire time trying to discredit them. If we have no credibility, then why are they discussing it as a segment every day!

[nolabels]

16. Welcome to the Information Age, glad you could join us :^)

[kittenpants]

20. info-what now? That whole interweb thing confuses me...

[nolabels]

27. It's all about the INTERNETS

What it INTERNETS do you read?

[Hugin]

28. I hope there's no spiders...

Spiders scare me...

;)

[rniel]

17. Held accountable

What law did they break. Was someone killed as a result of something that some bloggers said.

On the other hand. When "the press" outed Valeria Plame there were probably people who lost their lives over this.

So which of these 2 ought to be held accountable.

MORANS!!!!!!!!

[cthrumatrix]

21. but but but.... they are making people report "things"

[rniel]

26. We wouldn't need bloggers

if the goddamn press would just do their job.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. Sorry, you can't silence the voice of the people.

There's this little thing called freedom of speech. Like it or not it does still exist.

I think someone's ego is stinging. :eyes:

[Skidmore]

19. Yesterday when I was home, I noted that she had two "reporters"

going to the blogs to see what the bloggers were saying. They were only going to RW blogs, nothing left of center. The corporate media is beholden to the blogs for fact checking now and they are irrelevant when it comes to actual news. Corporate media is motivated to put blogs out of business.

[Old and In the Way]

22. "Open Source Journalism" is a real threat to the MSM

And their interests coalesce with the treacherous, lying, anti-American Republican Party on this issue.

Their hastening their own demise because their inability to safeguard the public's interest and do real journalism has been more apparent.

[Cooley Hurd]

23. They want to silence the only voice we have left...

Welcome to the Occupation...

[Generator]

24. They're going to have to pry the mouse out of my dead cold hands

Everything I read on DU isn't true..but I can fact check a half dozen things in the time it takes to sit through four minutes of commericals for crap I don't need.

And they stuff they say is TRUE? The lie constantly by omission and by subtle innuendo..some people say...is Dean dangerous?

How about is CNN a propagandistic source of pseudo news, Judy? What are your politics? Who owns your station, Judy?

I can find that out on the WEB...that's world wide web, Judy..and you won't even know that I know. :smoke:

[cthrumatrix]

25. how about "freedom of speech for starters"...forget the rest

[BigBearJohn]

29. Woodruff needs to be focused on by the left wing BLOGS

BIG TIME

32. Woodruff comes across as an a**-kissing up to power dried up old fart.

[msanthrope]

33. Scared, much, Judy?

After all, Madame Woodruff, you are becoming a liability:

Dropping circulation notwithstanding, your employer is paying your escalating legal fees. Lots on money on your worthless hide.

Would any blog hire you, Judy? Are you beginning to see your 401k and salary and raises disappear as more and more readers leave the major media?

You'll be out in the cold, Judy.

Maybe Chalabi can lend you some money.
