His defiance in the face of John King's "scoop" will go down in teevee news history.

heard his reporting tinged with right-wing undertones and there have been times I know he was out-right lying to the audience.

I'll grudgingly give him this week tho.

Tonight they'll be pouring blood into him, prepping him for surgery, sending him to surgery. Once he got to the ER, the cops probably couldn't get through the crowd working on him, anyway.

I've seen injured bad guys Mirandized at the bedside once they're conscious and stable. Likely this will be the same.

I get ABC, CBS, PBS (x2), local FOX (x2), and numerous religious wackaloonery. No NBC.

I watched ABC and CBS last night and today while surfing DU. Both did fairly okay. Certainly nothing like CNN or FOX.

Happy to R&K
