TV Alert....NBC Evening News.....Halliburton Scandal

[AnnInLa]

Excellent report on Halliburton cover up of charges for oil delivery...can't believe how NBC reported it, even uncovering a "covered up" Pentagon report

1. Are my ears deceiving me?

[Beaverhausen]

2. wow! i have to wait three hours to see it

thanks for the tip!

[AnnInLa]

3. Also.....good report on Tom Delay's Woes

I am having a new respect for NBC Evening News....it's probably just temporary tho

10. I seem to recall an NBC exec

recently expressed outrage about *'s attempt at media manipulation.

[whistle]

4. Huhmmmm, that is interesting, so why would BushCo, especially

....Dick Cheney allow this? The backlash from the power base against NBC will be interesting. Do you think this could be another KKKarl Rive dirty trip where the Pentagon report will be revealed to be a forgery like the CBS/Dan Rather affair?

5. They just throw this in there to appear balanced. This is just a bone.

Anyone who eyed the news with a critical eye knew what Halliburton and friends were up to long ago.

[evolvenow]

6. Where the hell is Cheney? Did he die and now they can scapegoat--distract

[cry baby]

7. He's in his crypt.

[Robbien]

8. NBC will be the target of the far right-wing hate mail campaign

They will flood the station with enough hate mail to make NBC back off reporting the news and return to Michael Jackson coverage.

Pentagon auditors have found that the Halliburton Co., which was awarded a no-bid $2.5 billion contract to deliver fuel to Iraq, may have overcharged by more than $108 million. That includes $61 million auditors found in questionable charges more than a year ago.
