Woodruff, Rather, (all else) on C-SPAN ("Media Coverage of Campaign")

[UTUSN]

LEHRER, JENNINGS. I want to hear WOODRUFF describe how she is claimed to be a Lib yet manages to impale every Dem daily.

[kaitykaity]

1. Lehrer just made fun of O'Reilly.

I never yell "LIAR!"

[UTUSN]

2. Rather: "Fear has increased in every newsroom in America"

He holds back on telling "all" the truth "because we're going to catch hell." Um, from whom?

[buycitgo]

3. good luck with this

I started two threads on this, and got very little response

it's SEMINAL, though, as they reveal to the world how completely removed from reality all of them are, even as they admit that they SHOULD have asked some harder questions about the war run up.

they come up with the most transparent rationalizations for why they don't do their job

it's the best single insight I've seen into why the media are so craven

[mandyky]

4. Thanks for the heads up!

I saw this the first time around. Fox wouldn't even attend, that should speak volumes.

[kaitykaity]

5. WoofWoof barking now.

EEEEEwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!

[UTUSN]

6. Judy's First Example of Lying is FDR

"He promised to balance the budget."

[buycitgo]

7. here. this gets bogged down, but it has some of the points made

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=2065556

[UTUSN]

8. "We did invite (Faux) News, but they were not ABLE..."

There was some laughter in the audience.

[buycitgo]

10. from what I saw, it's a very much media filled audience

keep watching and you'll see Al Franken bring down the house with a hilarious, off the cuff rejoinder to the pompous as Brokejaw

[UTUSN]

9. Judy: E-mails "cannot govern what we do"

"We want to be interactive TO A DEGREE, but..."

Ferget the e-mails.

[buycitgo]

11. that's total BS, as one of the points they make regarding

their coverage has been how much pressure has been brought to bear by wingnuts.

they just don't pay attention to LEFT pressure

[Only Me]

14. Judy Emails may not , the rules of journalism and responsibility should.

And not just for the right wing. If the Republicans got upset with
the unflattering reporting, at least you had good conscience on your
side to help you take the blows. But the verbal attacks and viscous behavior and cheap shot to the Democratic party you people have taken of lately, is cheap, viscous, demeaning, misleading and destructive. Remember Repugs are not the majority. And a news HOST
don't make a JOURNALIST! AND you can't hide that from the world.

Just my Humble Opinion Ms. Woodruff you make me...

12. Lehrer just POUNDING on the nets for their

decision not to cover the convention.

:wow:

[LizW]

13. Listen to the ridiculous justifications for not covering the conventions

Jennings gave the tired "it's not news" argument, saying something like "there's not much for us to talk about."

How about just showing the convention? Show the speeches, show the crowd! Show us what is happening!

It's hard for these prima donas to get through their heads that the world doesn't wait with bated breath for their next word! They think they are the news.

Lehrer spoke eloquently about the importance of this election. He made it clear that he didn't think the three anchors got it.

[buycitgo]

15. alterman asks key question:

why did networks not do their job in war run up?

Jennings defends their drawing attention to disconnect between saddam/911.

what a LIE!

that's all they said about it; just brushed it right off

[kaitykaity]

17. Alterman took too long to get to his question.

But that brush off was something, wasn't it?

[buycitgo]

20. he made excellent points though, ESPECIALLY about the thirty

year war on news from the right wing

they REFUSE to admit that it's been a completely right wing attack, for whatever reason, though they contradicted that point within the discussion, going so far as to cite specific examples of wingnut presure, then denying its effects

what bull

[pinto]

16. It's a great discussion.

[mandyky]

18. This cover their ass session has made me even angrier

watching it a second time.

[buycitgo]

21. really

can you believe their arrogant disconnect with reality?

[LizW]

19. What did Franken say?

I missed it.

[kaitykaity]

22. "I wasn't listening."

When somebody said he looked "bemused."

[buycitgo]

23. somebody asked a stupid question about them being ICONS,

and when they retire, will their audience go away

Brokejaw started bloviating, with false humility about this, and noticed Al rolling his eyes--he commented on that, and, after waiting for the camera to pan to him, Al said, "I wasn't listening," to which the audience responded with EXPLOSIVE laughter

[LizW]

24. snicker n/t

[ItsMyParty]

25. Their "indepth" reporting and thinking is directly related to

who signs their checks. They are a very special type of traitors to the American people. Bin Laden is no where near as evil. He just blows up and kills people. These slime lure the country to it's death. They don't deserve to be protected by the Constitution. They deserve to rot in an Iraqi prison.

26. I've been trying to find this program on the c-span website

I don't have cable, so the only way I can watch this is online, but I can't find anything on the website.

Can anyone help me out with a link, or the exact title of the program? Is it on c-span2, or the main c-span?

Much appreciated for any help anyone can give...

sw

[grasswire]

27. damn!

How could I have missed this? It's right in my niche of interest. Damn!

[napi21]

28. You should be able to view it on c-span web site

Go to the cspan web site and look for a program called American Prospectives. They should be listed on the left side of the page. Usually there is a small screen in the upper center of the site that displays the shows from today. click on the forward or back arrows till yu find the one about the media and click watch.

It also is replaying tonight at 11:00PM EDST on cspan

[mandyky]

29. Replaying at 1110 PM on CSpan

in case anyone missed it

[linazelle]

30. Judy Woodruff: "..We want what we do to be interactive to a degree but it

can never govern what we do."

She says that calls and letters from viewers cannot and do not dictate what's covered.

[Only Me]

31. Me: "Well Judy W, calls and letters sure worked for the rightwingers."

She's so full of poop. In my humble opinion that is...:eyes:
