Please all day Fox was running the deperation headline.

btw the one thing I find hilarious about CNN is the font size for the headline will startout small in the morning and by night will be size 92.

It was more pronounced during the London bombings but just watch it during the day.

Ummm... words cannot describe.

Fox isn't stupid and neither is CNN. They know who their customers are.

Get ready for the Bush photo ops. They'll be flooding the airwaves and print pages soon!

Gotta hug them black chillen!

Bill O'Reilly is bashing Bush? That's a first.
Talking POINTS " The politics of Katrina... "

FOX has done a pretty good job keeping the information flowing, but they never do miss a chance to boost Bush.

Well that evens out CNN, seeing as how they never miss a chance to bash Bush.

 

[CaptnKirk]

I don't buy that, Bush's actions bash himself.

Camels, Wide, Full Flavor. And I'm not sharing

Nah, I gave up on CNN after that Judy whatever-her-last-name-is practically broke down in tears when Bush won the 2004 election!

 

[conjur]

Judy Woodruff? The Bush-whore?

What about Wolf "Gawd I love G.W" Blitzer?

Jack Cafferty and the morning crew was very pro-Bush but Cafferty has apparently had a big change of heart after having been down at the Conv. Ctr.

All I saw was a bunch of black people asking where a bunch of white people standing around with their fingers up their asses, yapping, were.

Well it didn't take long for someone to toss out the race card in this thread either.

 

[Pabster]

It never does.

You didn't see one picture of black people wondering where the government was and the other picture of white people talking? Gosh, I had no idea I was such a racist and even knowing it it's still what I see. I have no shame I guess.

He was kinda puffy too. I didn't like the way he came across.

BTW, both channels were bouncing back and forth between the two stories. I did see Shep and Heraldo getting pretty emotional and upset about the people who were in dyer straits. Heraldo was crying and yelling at O'Reilly to get some buses to the convention center.

 

[ntdz]

I must say that CNN's tv coverage of the hurricane is better than FOX's. Shepard Smith is doing a pretty good job, however.

 

[Zedtom]

The reporters for Fox on scene seem to be unbiased and emotional, as opposed to the personnel in the security of the studio. I have never liked Shephard Smith until yesterday, and I now have a new respect for him.
