PBS impartial? BS! The former military man is a hack for the right wing anti-anything. Regardless, let’s make sure that we siilence those that are not sucking up to the leftist elites of the world.

[…] You see that in the Melanie Morgan-Jon Soltz encounter of the past week. Morgan’s “intellectual” position is based on a self-perception that she is standing alone on moral high ground. In her mind, she represents the people who really love America and support the troops and Soltz does not. Her part of the “debate” consists entirely of her drawing that (imaginary) distinction between herself and Soltz. That Soltz may, in fact, love America and the troops as much as she does is utterly beyond her comprehension. (And, of course, it’s possible a psychological dissection of Morgan would reveal her devotion to America and the troops is less than pure, but I’ll leave that alone for now.) […]

Hi Maha,

I did see Melanie doing her thang….she was yelling at Jon Soltz that he wanted Al Qaeda to win. VoteVets represents thousands of those troops, people who actually put their lives on the line. If they disagree with bush’s policy, they’re not alone.

And that brings me to this: why is the MSM repeatedly presenting the view that we need a new policy as the “far left” of the Democratic Party? Most of America is begging for a new plan. In fact if people (read hard core republicans) could dig deep inside themselves, they’d be favoring a new plan. Jon Soltz and all the members of VoteVets are concerned about their friends. Is asking for better leadership and better plans somewhere off in some leftist cosmic la-la land?

No. The media needs to be set straight. If the majority of the country feels the war is a mess, then the people they invite on their shows need to be treated as part of the mainstream; cause they are.

Yes, Melanie Morgan was very effective in her presentation.
She is very effective in being an ignorant boor.
If All these flag waving nut jobs really “supported the troops”, they would give the soldiers a break by taking their place “on the ground”.In Baghdad. Instead they live vicariously through the military, claiming “WE” for every “they”. The son of one of my wife’s clients has been home from Iraq for a little over 6 mos, and was just told he’s going to Afghanistan for an 18 month deployment. He has a little boy that he barely nows. If these fuckers insist on making war, the ought to grow some balls and start the draft. Only then will the peasants storm the castle and impeach the morons.
I’m bloody sick of the bunch.(including nabelzbbfr)

Zeus — I haven’t watched Newhour in a long time, although I can’t say exactly why I stopped watching it. But I’ve got my television rigged to self-destruct if it is tuned to Faux Snooze for more than five minutes.

maha - your response to nabalwhatzhisname tickled my funnybone - as they say on instant messaging - LOL.

On a more serious note, I never watch Lehrer. My clicker has been stuck on CNN, MSNBC, FAUX, etc. Although I’ll give myself some credit - I love C-SPAN (in fact that’s how I found your site). But now that I know there is a program that is actually hosted by mature people and usually has mature people as guests, I will make it a point to tune in. I’m sure my blood pressure will thank me.

I didn’t see Morgan’s diatribe. Don’t want to.
She is infamous here in the San Francisco area for extreme right wing views. She at one time suggested that Nancy Pelosi be targetted for treason, a diatribe that suggested she be shot.
The audience responded with calls for advertisers to withdraw. That got her to subdue somewhat. Now she just lies and obfuscates.
Unfortunately she is married to the program manager of KGO, the parent organization of KSFO. KGO is highly respected here as fair and balanced, a credit to her husband, Jack Swanson and Micky Luckoff, it’s president.
Despite Newshour’s promise, I think the only way to subdue voices like Morgan’s is through advertisers. It worked with Don Imus.
