Tom Brokaw Decides Bush Needs an Editor

Via the indispensible Real Clear Politics, I struck on this link to New England Republican, who catches Tom Brokaw editing out important parts of President Bush's answers.

Pay particular attention to the second part of the transcript, in which Bush mentions al-Zarqawi and Abu Nidal of examples of Saddam's connection to Al Qaeda and terrorism generally, but which Tom Brokaw edits out. And we're only talking ten words here:

"He had Zarkawai in his midst. He had Abu Nadal."

Ten words, which Tom Brokaw apparently felt had to be clipped out. It's not as if this were some long, ponderous aside. It was ten words. Ten words which Brokaw edited out of the President's answer. Ten words which have important bearing on the question of why we went to war in Iraq.

So, let's sum up: Not only does the liberal media refuse to report on Saddam's extensive terrorist connections, they actually delete statements regarding such from the President's answers during interviews.

Oh, that liberal media.

Meanwhile, check out both RCP and for sharp skepticism about the LA Times' poll showing Kerry at 51%.

Kaus can't help but note that the LA Times also showed Gray Davis in a dead-heat with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Update! Gee, what are the odds? Brokaw also edited out Bush trumpeting the surging jobs-creation.

When the nation is losing jobs, it gets wall-to-wall play. When we're creating jobs, it's such a boring topic that Brokaw feels he needs to delete the President's comments about it in order not to antagonize his audience.

You know, if I were watching Tom's show, and he accidentally let slip that nasty bit about Zarqawi, I would have been furious. I might have decided never to watch Tom Brokaw ever again.

CBD and Sefton discuss President Trump's cabinet picks, including the all-important "Bikini Measure." And the continuing pogroms in Europe, driven by uncontrolled and massive Muslim immigration, and aided by Europe's traditional Jew-Hate.
Written by Ben Meiselas:

"Chuck Todd wrote the most idiotic thing I've read today, and it perfectly encapsulates the problem with corporate media. It's also a confession. He wrote, "These confirmation hearings may just save cable TV for the short term."

You see, people like Chuck Todd and their corporate benefactors are losing relevance. Americans are sick and tired of their lazy reporting, blatant lies, "both sides" equivocations, and outright cheerleading for fascism. By ignoring the most obvious lessons of history, corporate media rooted for chaos, drama, torment, crime, and hardship, believing idiocracy and fascism would be good for ratings.

Well, here it is, Chuck Todd. And no one cares about you or your network. In fact, we hold you responsible for forcing this circus upon us.

If Senate confirmation hearings take place at all, we, the people, are not watching them on your network, Chuck."

(Found on DU, if you hadn't guessed.)

Trump announces RFKJr. for HHS (via the NY Post):
"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote in his announcement, making rare use of his X account to broadcast a cabinet pick.

"The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"

Midnight's Edge: Woke "Muh Diversity/Muh LGBT" leftist feminist Grace Randolf actually wonders if she's been in a leftwing bubble all along, and realizes that maybe the "Republican bubble" is larger than the leftwing one
She also realizes that social media and the legacy media have "misled" her.
Republicans aren't in a bubble. We all know what the left is thinking and saying because corrupt social media companies constantly push the Marxist propaganda media on us. It's the left that is sheltered and protected in curated spaces from ever hearing a dissenting point of view. Many of us might like to be in a bubble, but the Marxist propaganda media's domination, along with the Google/Microsoft determination that everyone's feeds must be stuffed full of the Marxist propaganda media ops, means we can't bubble up even if we'd want to.
