How Does It Feel To Be So Loathed

Leave it to CNN to bring the MSM’s “perception is fact” to the shoe throwing incident.

Thanks to HotAir for the hat tip … It is the one of our favorite sites. Welcome those of you here for the first time. We tend to be video heavy.

CNN’s Zain Verjee gets a one on one with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and asks her about the shoe throwing incident in Baghdad. The questions speak volumes about the media’s narrative … we are loathed around the world. Leave it to Condi to put it into perspective and set her straight. In no uncertain terms I might add.

A symbol of utter contempt? By the media I am sure.

    Dr. Rice has a remarkable temperment. She maintains her poise and is very polite in responding to questions from the MSM. The type questions asked, always have "loaded inaccuracies" in the body of the question, that imply untruths and any direct answer affirms the context of the question.

    I doubt that Miss Hillary could be as effective and eloquent in an equally hostile biased media question session. Perhaps Miss (I never wore a blue dress) Hillary could take notes on how the O-ster shuts up questioners when the question asked do not meet the desired outcome of the interview.

    When all else fails, throw 'em off the plane.

    Here's the question: what would have happened to that reporter if it had been Saddam Hussein's Iraq, or Saudi Arabia, or Iran etc. etc.

    He would be lucky to have the feet to put into new shoes. The very fact he was allowed to express himself without being shot on the spot, then tortured, then beheaded, is testament to the success of the Iraq war.
