		<description>What a load of BS.  A special &quot;celebrity correspondent.&quot;  Well, CNN took Kuntran Chetry from fox and now they&#039;re sliding down further into the mud to be more appealing to the 30%-morons who can&#039;t speak in complete, grammatical sentences - - just like their monkey-boy dictator.</description>

		<description>Back to the original topic... When I told my husband about Attorney-gate in December he thought that maybe I was hallucinating or something as he had not heard a word about this. When it blew open in February he asked me why this story was not on the news. Earlier this month I told him about the Iraq oil PSA&#039;s and how the oil companies were going to steal 80% of the oil profits and he was again not sure if he should believe me. I started sending him links to various Iraq oil PSA stories, and he was shaking his head again, wondering why this information was not being covered by the MSM. 

My husband is a very intelligent, usually informed person, but does not spend the time at TP or DU that I do. And he is not the only intelligent person who only gets his news from the MSM (and me!). He doesn&#039;t watch the evening network news anymore because he does know that there isn&#039;t much quality there anymore. He does read the Boston Globe and New York Times pretty regularly, but they were slow to pick up on these stories, too, and is amazed that these 2 &quot;liberal&quot; newspapers did not cover these stories when they first came out. 

And I guess we can understand why the Imposter still has 28% of the population, &#039;cuz they are the ones reading the Boston Herald and New York Post, and watching Faux News.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Gummy - If you had a counter-point, you might be interestingâ€¦.such is not the case. Your ignorant assertion was incorrect and you are incapable of correcting yourself - - oh wellâ€¦.not surprisingâ€¦. Comment by valiant venus â€” May 30, 2007 @ 2:16 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Pure Projection - from the st*pid c*nt, that thinks humans can&#039;t *solve* a &quot;cycle&quot; we created.  Even though for a &quot;man made&quot; accelerated and artificial global warming situation to be a &quot;cycle&quot; - it would have to have occurred before - which it hasn&#039;t.

Dear st*pid c*nt, we are the cause of the current warming - period.  This is *science*, and it&#039;s *settled*.  Just like e=mc2 and evolution - it&#039;s a *fact*.  What&#039;s *religion* is your dogmatic claim that *science* which says if we don&#039;t do something, we&#039;re f*cked is a power grab.  What&#039;s a power grab is our attack in Iraq, the NeoNaziCon policies, and your economic st*pidity!

The IPCC has already debunked your Economic DOOM AND GLOOM PESSIMISM related to fixing the problem - st*pid c*nt.  Grow up.</description>

Nice job of projection, vv. If you can&#039;t reconcile your own two statements, just feel free to admit it and move on.</description>

The Daily Howler is a must-read if you want to see the mainstream media&#039;s strange behavior over the last few elections debunked and deconstructed. Bob Somerby is awsome.</description>

		<description>From the article:
&lt;em&gt;Last week, Al Gore appeared on CNNâ€™s Larry King Live and offered a stinging critique of the mediaâ€™s obsession with â€œtrivialitiesâ€ rather than important issues that affect our collective future&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Once again Al Gore is saying in public on national TV what most of us only gripe about in private&lt;/strong&gt;. And, as usual, to derision and disapproval. As he was forthright about the Iraq invasion before it became &quot;Bush&#039;s War&quot; so he speaks out again about the the degredation of the mass media. And does so &lt;strong&gt;on&lt;/strong&gt; that sad excuse for the fourth estate.
Al Gore was vocal, and out in front of the convential wisdom regarding the Iraq invasion, that became &quot;Bush&#039;s War,&quot; later.

There are many folks that want Gore to enter the race for the Presidency this fall. Those that do, everyone actually, (even those that don&#039;t,) in my view, should revisit the campaign of 2000 where the MSM pundits had a locker room like &quot;snickering campaign&quot; to destroy Gore&#039;s reputation. The lies and distortions (like the one that has Gore saying he invented the internet,) they spewed then, will all be regurgitated once again by the neocon enabling pundits. If we don&#039;t know the truth, and fight against the smears, we will be reliving the 2004 swiftboating of Kerry, in 2008.

A media watch website, that specializes in debunking the mainstream pundits on a daily basis, is called &lt;strong&gt;The Daily Howler&lt;/strong&gt;.&quot; Check it out. Their archive is a tremendous source. They have documented in great detail the destruction of Gore&#039;s reputation pointing out the actual facts against the lying pundits bullshit.

What ever you feel about Gore it should be based on the truth and not on lies and distortions.</description>

		<description>Evidently, we&#039;re supposed to believe Valiant Venus about this global warming thing because of all the credibility she&#039;s built up over time here. She&#039;s been spot on with regard to all the issues. Iraq invasion-great idea! Valerie Plame - just a desk jocky! Libby - innocent! Attorney firings -- nothing to see here folks, move along.

Yep, Valiant Venus has built up a very interesting batting average on the issues and this is why we must pay attention to her opinions. 

On a serious note, I suggest that people take another look at the great 1974 film &quot;Network.&quot; Howard Beale was way ahead of his time.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Evidently, we&#8217;re supposed to believe Valiant Venus about this global warming thing because of all the credibility she&#8217;s built up over time here. She&#8217;s been spot on with regard to all the issues. Iraq invasion-great idea! Valerie Plame &#8211; just a desk jocky! Libby &#8211; innocent! Attorney firings &#8212; nothing to see here folks, move along.</p>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Gummy - go back an S-L-O-W-L-Y read again.  Nowhere do I claim that humans have not contributed to global warming.
Which are you? A consumate LIAR?..Or a very poor reader? Youâ€™re not worth much more of my time either wayâ€¦.

NOTE to AL: You canâ€™t â€œsolveâ€ the Global warming â€œcrisisâ€â€¦.. itâ€™s a CYCLE.
&lt;/em&gt;

So which is it?</description>

		<description>valiant, like I asked patrick1, don&#039;t you have more important things to worry about than Al Gore or global warming?

Your president, he of the 28% approval rating, just gave blanket amnesty to all the illegals.  He&#039;s negotiating with Iran, Syria, and North Korea.  Non-military spending has gone way up under his administration.  Oh yes, and he doesn&#039;t belong, and hasn&#039;t belonged to any church, despite claiming to be Christian (the only time he ever seems to go is when he needs a photo op, needs to give a speech, or it&#039;s Easter).  Shouldn&#039;t you be railing on him?

Maybe you people need to take things more seriously in this country.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Thanks, Gummy, for the tip. Those same climatologists are great for an intense hand-wringing session BUT offer NO tips to restoring glaciers, etc.

Comment by valiant venus &lt;/em&gt;

Ah, you forget. You were going to explain to the climatologists that they were wrong about human contribution to global climate change and that their recommendations on slowing or halting that contribution were politically-driven and not fact-based.

Now you&#039;re apparently admitting that such change is occurring but that anyone who can&#039;t restore glaciers has nothing to contribute.

Do you even stop to think at all before you post this kind of screed? Even from a neocon troll, this is pretty silly.</description>
