2. This is considered news?

Stories from inside the White House briefing room



As the White House Correspondent for Talon News, I see and hear some of the most amazing things from my colleagues - the media stars and journalistic elites.


ABC Doesn't Get Snub

Ann Compton, a correspondent for ABC news, recently delivered her news report on a Washington, DC talk show and then spent a few moments chatting with the hosts.

President Bush had just given an exclusive interview to a London tabloid, The Sun. She noted that the newspaper was owned by Rupert Murdoch and lamented that ABC was unable to get a similar interview with the President.

Why might she think that ABC deserves to have special access to President Bush? Perhaps poor Ann hasn't heard Terry Moran's accusatorial questions at the White House briefings. Maybe she is in a bar every night during Peter Jenning's broadcast. It's anybody's guess what she's doing on Sunday mornings when a former Clinton spokesman conducts the worst of the network news shows.

Most everyone else figured out how Bush felt about the quality of the coverage the major networks were giving to the war in Iraq when he announced he would give interviews to regional media. He explained that he wanted to remove the "filter" from the news coverage, what did Ann think he meant?

But then again, maybe ABC means Always Been Clueless.


Thanks for the link. I had no idea how good of a journalist this guy actually was.

3. Love this article
<< Media Aiding Terrorists in Iraq

Major media continues to refer the “Iraqi Resistance” when reporting on who might be behind the bombings and attacks on American troops. While it has been said, “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” the goal of these killers has nothing to do with
freedom. >>

Uh, wasn't it raygun, saint ronnie himself, who said "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." ?
