RE: The 60 Minutes Report on Giuliana Sgrena.... "Totally inappropriate Post. Ashamed for reporting the news." Since when is reporting baseless & discredited lies as fact considered news? "Just because it does not suit YOUR political agenda is why you talk about their total disregard for the truth." Aye, there's the rub. You still want your news to :suit YOUR political agenda", so you had no problem when lies & scurrilous allegations are presented as fact. And it also explains why you still have no problem with 60 Minutes total disregard for the truth. They reported complete BS as fact, but it was exactly what you wanted to hear. " They reported what happened, what her interpretation of the event was...and that further investigations are forthcoming. " What they reported was another discredited version of events by Giuliana Sgrena as if it were hard news. And it's what they didn't report that was so damning. Did 60 Minutes report that Giuliana Sgrena's ever changing stories were shown to be chock full of inaccuracies & allegations that have already been shown to be false? Did they show the evidence that proves Giuliana Sgrena has already told a number of lies or that her story has changed repeatedly? Did 60 Minutes give equal time to the military version of events that were in stark contrast to Giuliana Sgrena's multiple versions of events? The answer to all of that is NO! They presented her side of the story as fact. And since it was what you wanted to hear, you were willing to buy into it, lock, stock & barrel. "...and that further investigations are forthcoming" Now that the report is out, do you think 60 Minutes will devote equal time to the real facts & openly say that Giuliana Sgrena's multiple versions of events have been thoroughly discredited? " I asked a person.... "What do you think about that story ?..... I think the report if fair..." And what exactly does that prove? Does it make the obvious one sided report from a clearly discredited person acceptable? "AND what does beyond shameful mean. There is a beyond shameful. You hate 60 Minutes so much .Why don't you separate the wheat from the chaff." 60 Minutes has a long history of obvious liberal bias. It became painfully obvious to most Americans when Dan Rather & his team of conniving SOB's tried to bring down a sitting President with obviously forged documents. It's not like this was the first example of their clear liberal bias. And the Giuliana Sgrena story makes it clear that it won't be the last. "You thoroughly put Dan Rather through the lynching scene. He's gone now in case you didn't notice." I did no such thing. The facts showed Rather's serious problems with truth & liberal bias. And he IS NOT GONE. He is still on 60 Minutes. He wasn't fired or even seriously admonished for one of the worst media transgressions in history. "Finally the word Communist must raise a red flag with you ." Yup. And for good reason. History is replete with the tyranny, lies & deceit that Communists have brought on society. And any cursory review of Giuliana Sgrena's history shows she is no different than the worst that communism can do. She used her position as a journalist to lie, distort & deceive. And she has continued to lie, distort & deceive regarding the incident at the checkpoint in Iraq.

"Tim you are so full of crap that you just are not worth my time." Interesting. You wasted all that time responding to me anyway. And what's with the baseless personal attacks? Are you becoming like your liberal peers in that when you can't engage in a civil, fact-driven debate, you resort to vile, baseless personal attacks? I'll not warn you again to cease the name baseless calling & petty personal attacks. It's also interesting that factual discourse that discredits your opinions is considered to be "crap".
