MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski refuses to talk about Paris Hilton as a *Lead Story* on the Morning Joe show. Perhaps more people in the media & news outlets should TAKE her example and STOP propping up worthless news as LEAD stories. The public deserves a little more respect than to be fed gossip and 'filler' material disguised as NEWS. A bit more on this is said at http://tinyurl.com/26wsc7and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M ka_Brzezinski- - - - - - -Comments have been closed as of March 4, 2008. With 6,400+ I think the opinions have run their course - the overwhelming majority in favor of the stance by Mika Brzezinski. Not staged, partially staged or all about staged... this brings forward a solid point: Gossip stories are not News, let alone Top Hour news on a major broadcasting outlet. Comment voting will remain open. Thanks to all who took the time to pour their thoughts and opinions on the matter. ~cc6809

Cecile Richards on John McCain"Hardball with Chris Matthews" 05:17pmInterviewTRANSCRIPT: CECILE RICHARDS: I think it was an incredibly telling moment. [] the law of the land under the Supreme Court, as you say. I think it showed a complete lack of regard for womens health, for mothers health, and it really followed on his entire career in Congress. 26 years in Congress, hes voted against womens health 125 times, including very basic issues like affordable birth control, support for family planning, and even when he was asked by a reporter, couldnt say whether or not he supported insurance coverage for birth control, even though he voted against it twice. I think this really was simply in keeping with John McCains record as being very out of touch on womens health issues. []There is a protection for womens health and life, and thats been under the Supreme Court, its been the law of the land for decades now, and thats what I think Senator McCain was questioning. But I think the real point [], the American people, this is a divisive issue, its a very personal, private issue. And what really the American people want to see is a focus on getting to the root of the problem in this country, which is we have the highest unintended pregnancy rate, and teen pregnancy rate in the Westernized industrialized world, theres so much we could do to come together to support affordable family planning, to support information for young people, to support insurance coverage for birth control. Those are the kinds of things that could reduce unintended pregnancy, and the need for abortion. John McCain has opposed every single one of them his entire career [].LABEL: CR JM MSNBC 10-16-08 17.17 (LR#118)
George Busch Gets Shoes Whipped/Thrown at Him 12-14-08 while visiting Iraq.George Bush vs ShoesGeorge Bush attacked by shoesCredits to MSNBC no copyright was intended.msnbc.comPresident Bush dodges two shoes hurled at him by an Iraqi journalist during news conference; Press Secretary Dana Perino injured in meleeBAGHDAD -- His legacy forever linked to an unpopular war, President George W. Bush visited Iraq under intense security Sunday and declared that a long, hard conflict is necessary to protect the United States and give Iraqis hope. "The war is not over," he said.Bush got a size-10 reminder of the fervent opposition to his policies when a man threw two shoes at him -- one after another -- during a news conference with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "This is the end!" shouted the man, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadiya television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.Bush ducked both throws. Neither leader was hit. In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt; Iraqis whacked a statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes after U.S. Marines toppled it to the ground in 2003."All I can report," Bush joked of the incident, "is a size 10."White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, however, was hit in the eye with a microphone as security guards scrambled to restrain al-Zeidi. The U.S. president visited the Iraqi capital just 37 days before he hands the war off to President-elect Barack Obama, who has pledged to end it. The president wanted to highlight a drop in violence in a nation still riven by ethnic strife and to celebrate a recent U.S.-Iraq security agreement, which calls for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq by the end of 2011.
