DAVID GREGORY: Blame the people for the Iraq war, not the media!
Anyone else watching Hardball? LOL...

He is essentially saying that the media did their job pushing and questioning Bush plenty and that the people are effectively to blame.

Gregory is absolutely nuts!

"So all kinds of buried crap is going to float to the surface, such as the True Facts (TM) about the Absolute Guilt of the American people in forcing Commander AWOL & the Republicon Chickenhawk Cabal to engage in the Eye-ranian Oil-Profits Crusade. Smirk."

3. I watched David Gregory suck up to Bush and Rove at some WH press event last year.
He's like a high school kid bedazzled by celebrities and the powerful, and way too flattered that they let him into the clubhouse. He has little journalistic credibility.

4. What David Gregory doesn't understand is that
people are mad at the press for not doing their job in the BUILDUP to the Iraq War. Sure, they started asking the hard questions after the war started, but it was too late then to keep Bush from perpetuating his endless war.

6. One wee FACT; the MAJORITY of Americans OPPOSED george bUsh's invasion of Iraq.
Edited on Wed May-28-08 04:33 PM by LynnTheDem
FACT.

Funny how the media, who reported all the polls showing the MAJORITY of Americans OPPOSED, don't actually know this. They don't bother with their own media, or anyone else's, apparently.

12. Gregory and (most of) the rest were ONLY trying to maintain "access".
He's a shameless whore, no different than the actual whore(s) who have reported from the WH.

AFIK, Helen Thomas is the last Journalist in the WH press pool.

8. Hey David, did you stand out in the streets of America in Feb. 2003, trying to tell
the public that an invasion of Iraq was a stupid move? I, along with millions of 'people', did just that. Trying to counter the drum beats you in the media were knocking out.

"stretch" to "little stretch" after watching hardball, it should be "long stretch"!
