Foxlett, get real, if Powell steps out of the session a little earlier and starts a press conference outside, what do you think??? Then it is up to the media to either mention this fact or not, maybe even tape the rest of the session, set up some text "we interrput this...."

no one in this country can even begin to control what the press does and does not cover Hiding in your foxhole, watching all those Packer games, you must never have heard of Fox TV or Murdoch. Their master's voice Rupert Murdoch argued strongly for a war with Iraq in an interview this week. Which might explain why his 175 editors around the world are backing it too, writes Roy Greenslade Monday February 17, 2003 The Guardian What a guy! You have got to admit that Rupert Murdoch is one canny press tycoon because he has an unerring ability to choose editors across the world who think just like him. How else can we explain the extraordinary unity of thought in his newspaper empire about the need to make war on Iraq? After an exhaustive survey of the highest-selling and most influential papers across the world owned by Murdoch's News Corporation, it is clear that all are singing from the same hymn sheet. Some are bellicose baritone soloists who relish the fight. Some prefer a less strident, if more subtle, role in the chorus. But none, whether fortissimo or pianissimo, has dared to croon the anti-war tune. Their master's voice has never been questioned media.guardian.co.uk And it was this same Faux news which recently won a lawsuit asserting its right to lie. Fl Appellate Court Rules Media Can Legally Lie By Mike Gaddy SierraTimes.com 3-1-3 On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization. The court reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast rense.com it's not like anything Iraq said that was even of minute note or importance wouldn't be run again and again and yet again on the television news, hourly, Could you get more tedious? A favorite flaw of the moronic - repetition instead of intellectual rigor. lets face it let's not took the ball and ran with it much too far* on this* Could you stretch it a little further? it very much colors and hence weakens You wanted to remove any doubt that it strengthens. Very intellectual. I agree, so much for intellectual discourse You say it so well. 'get real' is my line Ilmarinen, you pilfered Another intellectual achievement that you must guard vigilantly. I find nothing wrong with Powel leaving No one will pilfer your spelling of Powell. the television news would cover Aldouri farting The usual RWE tendency to focus on the ass. Thank you for sharing your intellectual capital on this thread. Keep the cunning comedy coming. We'll try not to pilfer it.
