Today on the
Chris Matthews Show, in a discussion about the campaign, BBC Washington Correspondent Katty Kay said that the Iraq issue would not hurt Bush because although people are still dying in Iraq, the people dying are not Americans. I wish she would tell that to the family of
Seaman Eric Knott or
Lance Cpl. Nicholas Perez and Capt. Alan Rowe.
But the disturbing thing isn't so much this blatant lie, it is the fact that neither Tweetie or the other whores on his panel (Maureen Dowd, Paul Gigot, Sam Donaldson) corrected this disgusting statement.
I have never been so outraged by a statement made on one of these talking-head shows. It represented everything that is wrong with this country. Young Americans are getting killed every day and the fucking media has ignored it for the past two months.
We have to do something about this bullshit. You can contact the Chris Matthews Show here.
(The program airs again later tonight on CNBC, I will either update this entry or create a new one when I have the exact quote)
Update below.
Here is the quote:
When was Kerry doing better? He was doing better when there was bad news from Iraq, on the front pages of the papers, and that was when Americans were being killed. Well, there is still bad news, but it is not Americans being killed, so it's not on the front of the papers and he is not doing so well.
