Would someone ask the French to please stop surrendering?

They call him "the president of the US, George Bush"...

And then snicker.

I don't know. I don't get French TV. But man, it's starting to really degrade the quality of reporting.

Especially when they get commentators on. I haven't seen one yet that ascribes French actions to any motivation other than greed or hatred for the US. It's usually nice to have at least two perspectives represented. At least they still bother to do that up here...

IIRC The Guardian. a major British newspaper, announced Bush's final victory in election 2000 with "In, but illegitimate."

[KrazyHorse]

Yup. But there are other media outlets in Britain, you know.

And I'm talking about every major station. ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN.

I don't get FOXNEWS, and I'm sort of thankful for that. They probably are chanting "Eurocom"...

[KrazyHorse]

It's really becoming endemic. Especially on CNN with Jack Cafferty and the Moneyline idiot.

You didn't just call Lou Dobbs an idiot, did you? He's the smartest guy on CNN...

I doubt it - this thread is heavily pro-american, after all.

The people in France were very very rude when I was there.

Or maybe I was just used to the manners of living in California.

That's his name. And yes, he is an idiot. If his show is supposed to be a hal-hour (hour?) long commentary, then fine. But they should really balance it out at some point with an hour of liberal commentary. Never mind the guests he has on.

Well, it wouldn't be quite polytically correct to use the term "eurocom" in this case, because it's only "old Europe" that is bad, but yet there is a new Europe out there! Perhaps they should say "oldeurocoms".

[Shi Huangdi]

I get my news from internet(mostly cnn.com, foxnews.com, and washingtonpost.com). I haven't seen them directing insults against Europe, though they do report on the growing US-Europe rift.

[Drake Tungsten]

And yes, he is an idiot.

You must not watch the show much or are letting your bias get to you. You may not agree with Dobbs, but to call the man an idiot is absurd.

But they should really balance it out at some point with an hour of liberal commentary.

Dobbs provides balance to CNN as a whole, as he is one of the few conservatives on that network.

Never mind the guests he has on.

He had former SEC chief Harvey Pitt on yesterday. An excellent guest, particularly for a business show.

Who are the liberals?

What single person has even said "we should wait on Iraq" or "let the inspectors have more time".

The thing is, it seems like the network might have liberals on the payroll, but they've been told to keep their mouth shut while the conservacranks have free reign.

Dobbs was off the other day on the "incompetent, whining French" etc.

His entire show is commentary, not journalistic in its tone. And I'm wondering who the equivalent on the left is. The only time you see a leftist open their mouth is on Crossfire...

Maybe that's why it's called "Lou Dobbs' Moneyline"
edit: or is it "Moneyline with Lou Dobbs"?
