rodent got up , dumb puppet won't

[demon_dave]

okay all you neo-cons, your lying rodent got up, I'II live with that but I reckon the dumb puppet dubya is gone. Been watching very closely and the lies and deceit are gonna bring him undone, as well as the 350 tons of explosives going missing. Kerry is starting to look okay and if anyone saw insight or dateline on SBS there is no comparism between these two blokes, Kerry is an articulate intelligent bloke and dubya is as dumb as a box of nails.

 

[jim boy]

What do you think thed chances are of OBL being caught/killed in the next week?

if anyone saw insight or dateline on SBS

The most interesting thing on the show was both sides have legal teams assembled ready to challenge the result. Got to be ahead of the game.

the politics in america is one big con job.

both sides are essentially the same, the whole thing is one big media circus designed to suck in dumb arse americans with slick marketing campaigns.

if you believe anything on sbs you got a few screws lose. sbs specialises in docos on hitler/nazis or the evil bush family. the left wing media is fond of portraying george bush as a dumb yockel, sure he dont talk good but you dont go to yale and be a sucessful businessman and be president if your a dumb arse.

just like our media like to portray jwh as an evil little lying rodent who eats refugee children for breakfast. if your gullible and easily manipulated by the media then you tend to believe this propaganda.

Or, if you're gullible and easily manipulated *and* you like to shag your sister, you might believe GWB actually got into and graduated from Yale on his own merit, actually ran a business, or can tie his own shoes without jamming his head up his own ass.

 

[Wicked Lester]

Yeah - I wouldn't place too much faith in what's being protrayed on SBS.

The thing that amuses me is that if Bush was the stark raving mad imbecile so often described, it doesn't say much for Kerry that he only just shaded him in 3 debates.

I'm still of the view Bush will narrowly win, but a result the other way would not surprise me at all.

I was just thinking that myself.

2 programs that are as fair & balanced when it comes to US politics as FOX News - just the other way around.

Bull********.

Just because they have some journalistic integrity and actually "report" rather than provide opinion, does not make them as bad as FOX.

DO you actually watch these shows, they call a spade a spade and are just as thorough when reporting on the left. Same goes for good old Kezza on 7:30.

You just have to live with the fact that as the government, most attention will be on you. Sure I've seen interviews where he lays into the Libs, but he actually does the same to the other side.

Don't underestimate how far to the right this current president is.

There's certainly more difference between Bush & Kerry than there is between Howard & Latham.

The head of the BBC's news operations has accused United States media organisations of being overly patriotic in their coverage of the lead-up to the Iraq war.

"Before Iraq, it seemed to me that some US news broadcasters wrapped themselves in the flag and, as a consequence, did not perform the role the public expects of them," said Richard Sambrook, director of the BBC's global news division.

"Our natural instinct is to support our country. But the responsibility of the news media is to ask the difficult questions, to press, to verify," Mr Sambrook said, according to an advance copy of his speech to the Columbia Journalism School in New York.

Earlier this year The New York Times acknowledged it had failed to adequately challenge information from Iraqi exiles who were determined to overthrow Saddam Hussein claiming he had weapons of mass destruction.

The BBC lost a high-stakes battle with Prime Minister Tony Blair's Government over its own coverage of the lead-up to the Iraq war.

The publicly funded broadcaster's chairman and director general were forced to resign after a judicial inquiry into the suicide of David Kelly, a weapons expert who was the source for a BBC report that the Government "sexed up" evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

"We now know that all of us failed to ask the right questions about WMD in advance of the war. That isn't to say the war was wrong: each can make their own mind up about that," Mr Sambrook said.

"But to do so they need accurate information, evidence that has been tested. And if a news organisation imbues itself with patriotism, it inhibits itself from asking some of those questions."

The speech was in part to announce a new international committee to investigate the dangers facing journalists around the world, under the auspices of the International News Safety Institute.

Eighty-five journalists and support staff have been killed in the past year.

Yes I watch Insight, Dateline & the 7:30 Report and I have no hesitation in saying that in my opinion they are clearly biased towards the Left - just about all of the ABC & SBS's news & current affairs coverage is. Before you kick up a fuss about News Corp & Channel Nine, etc being biased to the right I wont disagree, it's all the high & mighty bleating about 'independent journalism' & 'integrity', etc from the ABC, SBS & Fairfax when they are all just as biased that gives me the sh*ts. I wouldn't watch Insight, Dateline or the 7:30 Report for the 'truth' - just to get the left's perspective on things. As for Kerry O'Brien - he's so clearly biased to the left it's not funny. May as well have Andrew Bolt in the chair 2 and half nights of the week just to even it up!

I just don't see it. They give it to the left when required, they insist on straight answers and do not settle for the whitewash, and they ask the tough questions to BOTH sides of the political spectrum.

you leave my sister out of it.

besides, she's the best kisser i know and she gives great head.

and before you say anything it's not real sex, just ask bubba.

he's not stark raving mad, he IS an imbecile but he is also a puppet for corporate America who are running the country at the moment. Don't forget war makes money for these greedy evil toerags so thay have someone up there who pushes their product, War.

SBS has excellent programs that are telling the truth but some people just don't want to hear or see the truth.

that's exactly what they should do, even things up by having conservative presenters, producers and reporters. but it's virtually impossible to get a job at abc, sbs unless your part of the 'long live the revolution' crowd.

Aha! A root cause of your frustriation. You really want to host 7:30 report!! Well judging on your posts you are right it must be a left conspiracy because you strike me as so balanced and even in your opinions!

A very sobering article from the USA.
Pity Howard and is henchmen were not put under this sort of media spotlight in Australia.

A form guide for that even bigger race
While Australia stops to watch a horse race on Tuesday, much of the rest of humanity will stop to watch what one American journal calls "a crisis of American democracy". The comparison is as stark as the choice offered US voters. Our election was as nothing compared with the consequences of the US presidential outcome. New York's 139-year-old magazine, The Nation, in endorsing the Democrats' John Kerry, this week put the argument for ridding us all of George Bush with a power and eloquence unanswerable by reason.

An edited extract: "While we have sharp differences with Kerry, we believe he is more than 'anybody but Bush'. His instincts are decent. He is a man of high intelligence, deep knowledge and great resolve. At times in his life he has shown exemplary courage. He respects the law. As for Bush, where to begin the list of his mistakes, delusions, deceptions, follies, tragedies and crimes?

"He failed to respond to repeated clear warnings of an al-Qaeda attack [in 2001]. He displayed startling incompetence when the attack came. He tried to cover up both failures by opposing the September 11 Commission. In the name of 'fighting terror', he waged a war in Iraq that has nothing to do with terrorism and was as unjustified when it was begun as, after the loss of thousands of Iraqi and American lives, it is unwinnable now. He has inaugurated an immoral and unsustainable policy of global hegemony based on military force, estranged most of America's principal friends and dismayed the world at large. He mocked the United Nations as 'irrelevant' and defied the Security Council. Today our forces are overstretched in pursuit of delusional goals.

"Bush's policies have turned away from this country's tradition of seeking disarmament exclusively by diplomatic means and adopted force as the mainstay of its nonproliferation efforts, violently pursuing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, where there were none, and overlooking them in Pakistan and North Korea, where they existed. He withdrew from negotiations to address global warming, which except for nuclear war is the gravest danger facing the world; sponsored a Clear Skies Act that fouled the air; gutted regulations limiting strip-mining; sold off public lands to oil, gas, timber and mining companies; rejected fuel conservation measures; and tried to suppress or repudiate the science on which knowledge of environmental hazards is based.

"And while conspiring to discredit scientific findings, he has pandered to a 'base' of religious fanatics, many of whom look forward to a day of 'rapture' when Jesus returns to Earth and kills everyone but them. His attitude to the factual world in general is one of hostility and rejection. He has made fraud and fantasy foundations of his Administration. His own belief in something appears to be evidence enough that it is true. One of his advisers has mocked critics by stating they live in a 'reality-based community', explaining, 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality.'
"Bush has by any measure worsened the US economy and set it on a likely path to disaster. He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from people of ordinary income and given it to the rich through tax cuts, while driving the country into unprecedented federal debt and trade deficits. He has broken his oath to uphold the law. He asserted and made use of 'inherent' powers nowhere mentioned in the constitution to lock up American citizens and others, with no access to courts. He has governed through fear and intimidation. His party will not tolerate dissent. His Administration insinuates his opponents are in league with America's enemies.

"Kerry's election would not necessarily save, and Bush's election would not necessarily destroy, democratic government in the United States. Yet it remains true that of all the things Americans can now do to support democracy, the election of John Kerry is the most important..."

You do if Grandpa was the retired Chairman, though...

Any president who believes he talks to god everytime he wakes up is a bit scary, especially when he uses religion as a basis of attacking other countries.

Mr hardcore christian who speaks to god and is given orders by god as he thinks has to go, bye bush you loser.

Then again tuesday is the day when bin laden will be unveiled.
