...That is unless you are the re-packager and disseminater of left wing propaganda!

Then it reads like this ;

Bush to keep troop levels in Iraq for '08

He would then pull up to 8,000 combat and support troops by mid-January

1. NBC's 'Fact Check' on Palin's False Claims Not So
Damning

Two weeks after Sarah Palin's
convention speech "reporters are still fact-checking what they hear from her,
as our own Savannah Guthrie does for us tonight," NBC Nightly News anchor
Brian Williams announced Wednesday evening. But of Guthrie's five presumed
misstatements by Palin, two were remarks made by Palin "aides," not Palin
herself; one, the "Bridge to Nowhere," was already dissected eight days ago
on the same newscast; and on another, how previous VP nominees have not met
foreign leaders, Guthrie didn't disprove Palin's contention. Up first, how
Palin asserted "my job has been to oversee nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic
supply of oil and gas." Guthrie pounced: "She's wrong. Alaska accounts for
only 3.5 percent of America's total energy production, 7.5 percent of oil
and gas." Unmentioned by NBC: How the Alaska Resource Development Council's
Web site has stated: "Alaska's oil and gas industry" accounts "for an average
of 20 percent of the entire nation's domestic production."

2. ABC Grills McCains on Abortion; Skipped Issue with
Obamas

Good Morning America host
Diane Sawyer on Wednesday grilled Cindy and John McCain about differences
in the couple's position on abortion and the subject of overturning Roe V.
Wade. And yet, when co-anchor Robin Roberts talked to Barack and Michelle
Obama in May, she didn't raise the issue, instead wondering if the Illinois
Senator would be prepared for all the negativity he would surely face as Democratic
nominee. In fact, on at least seven appearances in 2008, no GMA host asked
Barack or Michelle Obama about abortion and that includes skipping issues
such as the Senator's controversial opposition to a bill that would have offered
protection to babies who survive botched abortions. On Wednesday, Sawyer cited
a CBS interview with Katie Couric in which Mrs. McCain stated her opposition
to overturning Roe v. Wade. The journalist then interrogated: "And yet, Senator
McCain you have indicated in previous interviews that you would like the repeal
of Roe versus Wade so that the states can make their decisions. What's the
difference in the two of your view of the issue?" Sawyer followed up: "But,
Mrs. McCain, do you oppose the repeal of Roe versus Wade? Was that report
correct?"

3. Roland Martin & Jeffrey Toobin: CNN's Resident Obama
Spokesmen

Two segments on CNN's Election
Center program on Monday and Tuesday evenings which aimed to fact-check political
ads by the McCain and Obama campaigns were followed by panel discussions in
which contributor Roland Martin (on Monday) and senior legal analyst Jeffrey
Toobin (on Tuesday) took active roles in denouncing the McCain ads as being
filled with "lies" and "falsehoods." Martin accused McCain of "playing in
the gutter" and repeating "constant lie after lie." The next day, Toobin stated
that "John McCain has told outright falsehoods about Obama and sex education,
about the 'Bridge to Nowhere,' about earmarks, about taxes, and the examples
we cited in those Obama ads are not even close to the falsehoods that have
been said about Obama by the McCain campaign."

4. Early Show Focuses on Palin 'Trooper-gate,' Leaves
Out Key Facts

At the top of the 8am hour
of Wednesday's CBS Early Show, co-host Maggie Rodriguez teased an upcoming
segment on an ethics investigation into Sarah Palin's firing of an Alaska
public safety official: "Sarah Palin and trooper-gate -- why the Alaska Governor
makes an about-face on this issue and why it could haunt her on the campaign
trail." Later, correspondent Chip Reid remarked: "Palin may be back here in
Ohio campaigning, but she's still being hounded by the so-called trooper-gate
controversy back in Alaska." Reid went on to describe the case: "Last July,
Palin fired Alaska's public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan. He says he
was fired because he refused to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, Mike Wooten,
a state trooper who went through an ugly divorce with Palin's sister...At
first, Palin said she welcomed the investigation, but now the McCain-Palin
campaign claims it's being exploited by Democrats for political reasons and
says it's now unlikely she will cooperate. And the campaign says Monegan's
firing had nothing to do with Palin's brother-in-law." However, Reid never
went further to explain that new email evidence corroborates Palin's reason
for firing Monegan or to describe the political motivations of those leading
the investigation.

5. Limbaugh 'Inducer to Violence,' 'Sick' Palin 'Gutted'
Sp Olympics

On Tuesday's Countdown show,
Keith Olbermann referred to Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly as "inducers to
violence" as the MSNBC host, during the show's "Worst Person" segment, attacked
conservative talk radio host Eddie Burke of Anchorage, Alaska, for making
inflammatory remarks calling two women who organized a protest against Governor
Palin "socialist, baby-killing maggots," and for giving out the womens' cell
phone numbers to his audience leading the women to receive death threats.
Olbermann suggested that Burke would fit in with Limbaugh or O'Reilly: "Mr.
Burke, he got a paltry one-week suspension, and, no doubt, consideration to
fill in some day for comedian Rush Limbaugh or Billow or some other of radio's
inducers to violence." And during the show's regular segment, "McCain in the
Membrane," the MSNBC host charged that it was "sick" for Palin to tout herself
as an advocate for special needs children after she had, in Olbermann's words,
"gutted" funding for the Alaska Special Olympics. Olbermann ignored findings
by FactCheck.org that, as Governor, Palin secured a substantial increase in
state spending for special needs children in the education system.

6. ABC's GMA Train Trip Finds Economic Misery and Desperation

This week Good Morning America
has been touring America via train and finding economic misery and despair
along the way. During the three special shows that have aired so far, which
ABC has dubbed the "Whistle-Stop Tour '08," the program traveled to struggling
towns in Massachusetts, Ohio and New York. On Monday, while talking with an
elderly man who had lived through the Great Depression, co-host Sawyer described
him as someone who had survived "another time of economic crisis." (As a comparison,
a quarter of the population was unemployed during the Great Depression. Unemployment
today stands at just over six percent.) On Tuesday, co-host Robin Roberts
mentioned the people of Rome, New York and their "tough times." "...Some of
them are feeling hard times," she added. On Wednesday, near Gustavus, Ohio,
Roberts reported from a small town that "is not booming." While visiting the
"suffering town" of Niagara New York on Tuesday, Sawyer talked to parents
at a high school hockey game and lamented, "There were moms up in the bleachers,
who say they have to look across the river [to Canada] too and wonder about
American leadership."

7. NY Times Architecture Critic Blames Reagan for Bridge
Collapse


The New York Times' architecture
critic praised communist China's Olympic infrastructure and compared such
"planning" unfavorably to the Reaganite U.S.: "This kind of bold government
planning died long ago, of course, a victim of both the public's disillusionment
with the large-scale Modernist planning strategies of the postwar era and
the anti-government campaigns of the Reagan years. The consequences were obvious
as soon as Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. And they have been reaffirmed many
times since, with the collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis
and myriad accounts of our country's crumbling infrastructure."
