Andrew Tyndall tirelessly tracks network news broadcasts, publishing a weekly newsletter, The Tyndall Report, with an exhaustive breakdown of minutes of coverage given to all major stories. Plus some quick analysis. Especially interesting now, I think.
Last one for now. Just something to remember:
"I believe demolishing Hussein's military power and liberating Iraq would be a cakewalk."
Dick Cheney, "Meet the Press", March 16, 2003
Can anyone find a definitive link establishing the validity of this quote? (I'm sure it's accurate, I just want a link.) I'm looking too. I'll report back any findings.
[update: I believe this quote is not accurate. Discussion inside.]
I have no time for this today. Lots of work to do. But I hope to say something soon about the phrase "weapons of mass destruction" and, to a lesser extent, the term "terrorism." These two terms are very dangerous because they are much in use right now, and yet they both appear to have no meaning.
If I was editor of this website I'd assign Bruno with the linguistic backgrounder on these terms - both their use and misuse - and Frank with the (L.R.J influenced) piece on the danger of words with no meanings. Of course I wield no such power, so you'll have to suffer through my no doubt inferior take on these matters.
As soon as I get a few moments.
Sounds like the beginning of the end for Rumsfeld.
