   That’s newspapers for ya, you can fill volumes with what’s not in them.

    Gibson is as dumb as he looks.
    He “lectured” Palin on the Bush doctrine, when Krauthammer, who coined the phrase, said Gibson had no clue what it is.
    Now Gibson continues to be willfully blind to anything negative on Obama.

    He admitted that his “formative years” were shaped and inspired by his involvement in anti-Vietnam protests. Clueless.

    Remembering a favorite Far Side cartoon: dinosaurs in a meeting, one says something like “The ice sheet is advancing, the mammals are gaining ascendency and here we are with brains the size of a pea”

    Maybe the Dinosaur Media fits.

    So where does Gibson get HIS information?

    CBS?
    NBC?
    ABC?

    HI JOHN DEAUX–I think I have the answer to your question WHY DOESN’T MICHELLE MAKLIN BAN DISAGREEABLE POSTERS.

    There are always two (or more!) sides to most issues. Sometimes the poster’s comments are valid concerns stated by rational people. At other times it is CRAZY WACKO stuff.

    Good journalism is fair to both sides–and MM is a fair journalist. Her documentation and proof skills are excellent. And she isn’t dumb–letting a fool vent shows them up for poor thinking and a lack of basic “smarts” and civility.
    ***
    Like the old West adage said, “Give them enough rope and they will end up hanging themselves!” Or like the Bible (paraphrase) says–better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a wise person–instead of speaking stupidly and confirming that you are a fool.

     Charles Gibson and the rest of the media HAVE NO CHOICE but to do what they are doing. There is an old saying, “You have to pick the hill you want to die on.”

     The media will bitterly contest this story in order to kill it or “die on the hill” trying. They have no choice, because they know where this story leads……….to the front door of the White House.

     The Democrats in Congress, the RNC, the NEA, the AFL-CIO, SEIU, and Organizing for America all have strong links to ACORN. David Axelrod sent e-mails from the White House to people who NEVER had emailed they White House. Just where do you think he got them? Of course they are exchanging data and information, as well as cooperating fully.

     Obama was a lawyer and community organizer for ACORN. You know intuitively, he still have links to them. They helped him gain the White House. Logically things will be coordinated through the White House.

     If properly investigated, this will make Watergate look like a parking violation. People like Charles Gibson are FULLY AWARE of that. They can’t let this story be taken to its logical conclusion.
