CBS News: anyone catch John Roberts' incredulity at Bush?

[FlashHarry]

He could barely bring himself to say that Bush's response to todays bombings was to say that it showed that we were making 'progress.' The look on the anchor's face was priceless. I think even the media are having trouble stomaching BushCo's Orwellian rhetoric.

1. Didn't pay much attention to Roberts's face, but

The brevity of the reference to bu$h was most telling. Not too long ago, CBS would have had a sound bite from Glorious Leader himself.
Interesting!

:evilgrin:

2. And how much longer

can Shrubba kkep saying "it's because they hate freedom!" before some reporter yells "shut the fuck up!"

3. 'The same kind of incredulity is seen in the faces and voices of ...

Canadian anchors and reporters. It is a hoot to watch them try and report what Bush said without adding a "What the F*ck?".

7. Yes, the folks at CBC have had that look for months.

They can't believe what they're seeing.

8. Remember, Roberts IS Canadian...

He used to be JD Roberts, the host of The New Music in Toronto, in the late 70's / early 80's.

Nice to see he's done well for himself. He wasn't really remembered as one of the sharpest knives in the drawer up here.

4. It's time to cross over from mere face pulling

To actual reportage, media whores! You are once again being weighed in the balance, and you've been found wanting on so many prior occasions. Thousands of lives have been lost so far, and thousands more are in peril. When will the media begin doing its job, questioning and analyzing, and stop doing the White House's PR department's job, which is disseminating and parroting?

5. Yes! My wife and I both said that "they are starting to speak up now"...

His expression was "priceless"...can't think of another word right now.

[AlinPA]

6. Actually it looked like he was irritated with Bush's stupid remark.

Isn't Roberts in news conferences at the WH?

9. I wish I had seen it... I wish there was more incredulity

10. On CNN today they read some letters. One was very good,

ripping bush a new one. The reader grinned and nodded, and the gal next to him smiied and did a a subtle but noticeable thumbs up.
