This is Mainstream Media at its most devious, suppressing things from most of the people. Bush doesn't understand the BASIC facts, And Scott Pelley suppresses this? How many people are going to go back to the original transcript from January and read what Bush actually said and find out Pelley is playing them for fools?

The leaders of Iran, America and Israel should "pull their heads in" at this time in history. The strategic postion of the world is at a very delicate point. Confusion always precedes understanding. It is my fervent hope that understanding will reign between the various nations in the very near future. Cool heads should be prevailing at this time.

What's creepier than a heavily-armed lunatic coming to save us in the name of God? Who is so convinced he's doing God's will no exterior fact or reality can dent his mental armor? Ahmaddie has some excellent questions for Bush and his so-called christian beliefs. Note how Bush's puppets act in the same unchristian way. Hannity criticizes liberal Catholics as hypocrites for supporting abortion, while he acts precisely the same way by loving the war contrary to the Pope's position. How many buffoon evangelicals out there pray to the God of Life while shrieking for America to drop death and horror on countless innocents? A crank is a nut is a fanatic no matter how you slice it.

Where, exactly, did the blogger get it wrong? Your post is fact-free and argument-free, so it makes it difficult to understand your objections. I understand that, in your opinion, we are boobs and Ahmidinejad is Hitler. Would you like to back that up with a real argument? Or should I just take your word for it? If this is the state of political discourse in this country, then the future is dim indeed. Which history would you like us to study? Where, exactly, did the blogger get it wrong?

The millions who watch 60 minutes never heard much of what is written above. The official transcript did not include Pelley's introduction and narration with highly tendentious statements.

He isn't. He is an owl-worshiping pagan and a member of multiple death cult frats. Religion is just a tool that Bush uses to fleece the sheep. The mistake is to assume Bush is a Christian. He isn’t.

It is very apparant that members of the US media have little interest in reporting the news, but every interest in either making or framing the news. The two talking heads on CNN could not and did not even bother to try to hide their obvious bias. When war comes to Iran you can bet these 'reporters' will do just as they did Iraq and be the Administration's best cheerleaders and propaganda instruments.
