THE WASHINGTON TIMES
June 25, 2005
"Major news outlets that largely ignored the controversial comments of the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate last week immediately reported on a fiery speech by White House adviser Karl Rove, giving the story front-page prominence and the lead of newscasts.
Early yesterday morning, NBC's "Today" show, the CBS "Morning Show," and ABC's "Good Morning America" all featured the Democratic outrage over Mr. Rove's comments that after September 11 liberals "wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers" while conservatives "prepared for war."
Each network's nightly newscasts on Thursday also ran stories on Mr. Rove's speech, delivered Wednesday night."
~snip~
"What the networks did was zero, zero, zero, zero on Durbin, and as soon as Rove shows up, boom," said Tim Graham, director of media analysis at the conservative Media Research Center. "To say that one deserves zero coverage and the other huge coverage is just bizarre."

| That is ok though. I do not see Rove going out and apologizing for his remarks. The difference between Rove and Durbin is that Rove was right on and honest. I have never in my life apologized for telling the truth. I may have for hurting someones feelings with the truth but feel the truth needs to be told. |

Why are all those Democrats who reject the label of "Liberal" feeling so maligned??  Could it be they really are ??   (Just a rhetorical question.)

Really. Another thought. If they put that much effort into cleaning up their own act and perhaps shutting up the likes of Howard Dean, they might not be so defensive. |

The Difference between Rove & Durbin is that Roves words where not re broadcast through out the jihad muslim world.

Amen!
Providing encouragement to the enemy - seems like that used to be against the law or something.
Now, it's just another day in Congress.
