   Apparently, it isn’t necessary for a modern “journalist” to be informed. These are the guys who are supposedly keeping us informed. When you’re as smart as these people tell us they are, maybe it isn’t important for them to actually know things.

   That’s why we do this in our underwear and they do it in $5000 suits and full make-up.

   Or, an alternate read… he gets his stories from the rest of the MSM… he ADMITS that it is newsworthy, yet had gotten little if any publicity… and the MSM is not covering this story.

   I believe him… put now he needs to take a look at WHY he did not know about this story, and what that says about Journalism today.

    I have started to notice my two Deomcrat Senators, Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, often, “are not aware”, of an issue I think is common knowledge. It’s happening so often, among Democrats especially, that it sounds a lot like a talking point from Democrat leadership saying, “if asked a question that might require an answer detrimental to the Obama regime, just day, “I was not aware of that”.

    Either that or they really are hopelessly uninformed.

    Shortly after President Kennedy was shot in Dallas, while in the Star-Telegram office, he (Schieffer) received a telephone call from…Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother, whom he accompanied to the Dallas police station. He (Schieffer) then spent the next several hours there pretending to be a detective, enabling him to have access to an office with a phone. In the company of Oswald’s mother Marguerite and his wife, Marina, he was able to use the phone to call in dispatches from other Star-Telegram reporters in the building.

    It seems to me that “one of the most trusted names in news” has been a proven liar since at least 1963…and for the purpose of personal advancement, no less.

    Old Bob says at the end, a litte exasperated…”there hasn’t been a lot of news about it” [prior to the whitle blower].

    Really, Bob, that’s our complaint. You say you knew about but imply that it had just never been that significant until the smoking gun was laid upon the table last week.

    In other words, you (and the rest of the MSM) have been aware of it pretty much as long as the bloggers…ever since it happened. But you preferred to ignore it.

    Well, that makes sense. I have noticed how the MSM always ignored stories that might embarrass the Bush administration! [bitter sarcasm]

    Shieffer was asked recently why he didn’t bring up the story about the whistleblower, and his answer was simple: He didn’t know about it. Why? Because he was on vacation the previous week.

    From now on, whenever some weasel like Shieffer claims to not be aware of a significant national issue such as this, I think we need a Malkinlanche at them with the video\link to video\link to news article.

    Oh, I also asked how many stories they ran of voter intimidation during the 2000 election. I doubt they will respond with an answer.

    I actually know a couple of people who have been working at CBS since the late 70′s (back when I could not give a shiite about politics and before the inter-tubes). I suppose I could broach the subject but that could be a friendship-killer.

    This is a perfect example of one biased media source getting their information from another biased media source who ignores stories like this. If it wasn’t on the MSM stations or in the NYT, then of course Schieffer didn’t know anything about it. Heaven forbid he should refresh his information by watching FOX News or having his researchers check all viewpoints before going into an interview with Holder. All he had to do was Google Holder’s name and he would have all kinds of great questions to ask him. Wouldn’t that be BASIC PREPARATION FOR AN INTERVIEW 101? He gets a great bit “F” for journalism.

I am sure Bob feels that anything not printed on his teleprompter just isn’t real news.

    Do you think that he will go back and determine that he needs to be more informed or at least pretend to be more informed now? I don’t. Not with out a change to their cushy lives, not so long as it continues going on as it always has, not without a big wake up call. I think we need to wake the MSMs up by beginning to outwardly protest their organizations. We need to do more to let them know that they are not to represent a single political party but represent the truth and help keep government accountable, not accountable only when a Republican is in office. We need to rock the boat they are all traveling in and shake up their cushy little lives. We need to make them accountable for their lies…

    “This form of socialist collectivism, which has failed miserably elsewhere, places the underachiever above the achiever, discourages innovation, curtails incentive to succeed, stagnates the economy and oppresses anyone who objects. Government becomes a suffocating organism that continues to expand, requiring obedience, bleeding the life out of its subjects, destroying individual freedom, spreading despair and enslaving the masses.”

    “Driving the nation into financial ruin in order to increase the size and scope of the central government, thereby securing a stranglehold on power by forcing more and more people to be dependent on a monolithic central bureaucracy, is an insidious nightmare perpetrated by Chicago-style (Sock Puppet) politicians who adhere to the principal of rewarding supporters and punishing opponents. Instead of bringing the country together, they are tearing it apart.”

    “Worshipping”. Is that what they call it now?

    Bob, now you know why fewer and fewer of us are watching you or buying newspapers or news magazines.

    Now you know why you are all loosing viewers and readers. Now youi know why you will be out of business.

    We all know about it already, but we can’t ask Holder about it and you won’t ask. We don’t need you. Period.

    One question not asked is now that Robert Schieffer knows about the story, how closely is he going to cover it?

    If the thugs standing at that Pennsylvannia polling station had been white supremacists — with all other factors being exactly the same – you can damn well bet Bobby-Boy and his Liberal-Grievance-Monger buddies would … “somehow”… have “known about it”.

    The biggest danger to the West is not al Qaeda, it’s Big Government and Big Media.

    Oh, and by the way, in that recent “controversy” whipped up by The LameStreamers between the NAACP and The Tea Party, where the Sharptonites and their genuflecting lackies in the MSM asserted that racism is involved between the two groups: they are right!

    The “little detail” the MSN’ers don’t mention, of course, is that the racism is being directed toward the Tea Party by the NAACP, not the other way around.

    Wouldn’t want to upset “The Narrative”, after all.

    uhangtight said: I think we need to wake the MSMs up by beginning to outwardly protest their organizations.

    The problem now is the ongoing marginalization of the Tea Party as a group of raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacists. Anything the conservatives will do from now on will be marginalized, as well. Any protests will be looked upon as “just another example of those lousy, dangerous, racist, evil, …” (fill in the blank).
    They have set the table, and we are in danger of falling into their lair.

    That was worth repeating.

    And by the way, wasn’t the story of the NBP video and the Justice department handling of the guilty verdict and the DOJ whistelblower testimony all going on for more than the “week” he was on vacation? And thats scary too, when a journalist has to “lie” about something like that. The coverup is worse than the original transgression. Its the coverup stupid.

    It really does not matter that he was on vacation. In a programme like this, he has a lot of research-staff back-up as well as producers, and someone should have flagged that this is very much a live issue.

    But maybe – just like BS himself, they all read and watch a very narrow range of sources – liberal sources, so they remained pig-ignorant that the issue was on the boil.

    Bill O’Reilly said that he was not able to have Obama on for an interview and was told not in the foreseeable future. But, here’s Scheiffer getting a one-on-one with him in prime time. You can bet he was told exactly what questions to ask. No exceptions. Obama was well prepped –Scheiffer was just the moderator. This is election campaigning for Obama under the guise of a serious “interview”. Bah, a pox on them.

    Schieffer was on vacation in late July of 1969, so if anybody really wants to make his day, just let him know that we finally landed on the moon.

    That was the same week as Chappaquiddick, so he probably missed that one too.

    You just can’t make stuff like this up.

    I’ve always had a fairly good feeling about Schieffer, but he’s wearing it out at a great rate. You can’t run with that CBS pack and not be affected by the company you keep — or the company that keeps you. Ask Bernie Goldberg.
