1. Thanks

Haven't seen any of these on the MSM. Guess he hasn't made a "gaffe".

[Muttocracy]

2. Yeah...

has he called for a "Crusade" yet, like the last administration whose national security advice they're still seeking?

[jillan]

4. Exactly! However the BBC is doing an excellent job of reporting on Biden's trip.

He is there because there are elections coming up in Lebanon, with one party being Hezbollah....just a minor detail....

Oh but look - there's Cheney! Cheney, the msm's shiny object of the day.

8. I didn't get to see it

I was on the phone. Hopefully there will be video.

[jillan]

10. They will have it on again....

the BBC news is on throughout the day.

5. Complete Biden blackout on MSM. If not for the Internet, I wouldn't

even know he was out of the country.

[PatSeg]

9. I know

He has been such a busy VP and I wouldn't know it if it wasn't for posts at DU.

21. Same here.....

Biden is our CURRENT Vice-President, not Cheney, who seems to be the "golden boy" of MSM. Thank you, Jackeens, for the photos!

6. Could you imagine how much coverage this trip would've gotten if PALIN was VP?

EVERYTHING she did would've gotten full coverage.

7. Like bush and cheney's were?

The corporatemedia are the dinosaurs and the Net is the Meteorite that's aiming for their ass.:nuke:

11. Well, since she would have somehow sparked a war between Lebanon and Syria

that would be expected.

[Jackeens]

12. Lebanon's in Africa, right? And Syria? Is that near Brazil?

:shrug:

[SoxFan]

14. I can see Damascus from my house!

[Jackeens]

15. Damascus? Isn't that the capital of Belgium?

:shrug:

[SoxFan]

17. Luxembourg

Belgium is the capital of West Dakota.

[Jackeens]

18. SoxFan, you are SO ignorant: Belgium is the capital of EAST Dakota.

:shrug:

[SoxFan]

20. My bad. I got it confused with Belgrade

[Jennicut]

13. Would Putin have reared his head in on her? Joe is more approachable and friendly.

Bush ignored the Balkans and things just got worse. I am glad this administration is paying attention.

16. I shudder to think that it could have been Sarah Palin in these photos instead!
