Joel, HONEY, I just came across your response to my comment.
The first thing that I have to say is that for you to suggest that folks who demand a serious investigation of this travesty should by ridiculed and marginalized shows me that you probably possess neither the desire or skill to take on such serious questions. In this country, we do not just decide to marginalize and ridicule fellow Americans for asking for an investigation into such pertinent and hugely influential matters., especially when they are asking in concert with many who have done their own investigating, like, what is it, six members of the Official Commission.
We do not need to insult each other over a simple quest to find the truth. That is wholly what we are actually to ask for as citizens priviledged to have been born American.
If you are thusly an American citizen, then you should respect the basic right to free speach and also a right to question any “official” story. Our Founding Fathers wanted us to be more, to be willing to be truly informed and to welcome a robust debate. Asking questions is not un-American or simple minded. It is actually the essence of democracy.
So, I challenge you to watch “Loose Change” one more time, and then come back and talk real issues. Blessings.

Dear Mr. Goldberg:”For What’s It’s Worth” Thank you for your analogies. You are insightful and thought provoking. That said I want for nothing. While all the roosters and hens are in the barnyard participating in poultry activities, you sir, have maintained your edge and dignity. I’m sure you’ve been cannon fodder for some rags + hacks, but you never seem to loose your wits or integrity.
I think the reason for the media free for all is the number of media outlets. Compare it to the watered down pitching in MLB due to expansion. We went from 3 local + network feeds to several. Teletype was AP + UPI. I always liked Mr. Cosell”s hook “Tell it Like it Is”, bad toup and all. Never thought you had to sell your soul for a scoop. Guess you actually have to owne a soul to be able to sell one.
Same goes for radio. Top 40 jocks are wearing pancake and hollering about politics. I like some of their passion,but find most of them over the top and theatrical. Going for and falling far short of ,Orson Wells,”War of the Worlds”live broadcast. The independent 25yr old filmmaker and a convincing actress scooped the media complex on Acorn. I Loved It! It’s like the old bait and switch and 3 card montie spawned.
How about the “Late Nite Debacle”. Yea like an affair with a staffer is a new concept. Ethics are involved, but two consenting adults having an affair, Stop The Presses. What about the producer? Maybe we should all fire off a resume to ,Worldwide Pants, before they hire Polanski, provided we aren’t required to “Take One For The Team”. Best Regards, Anthony Ferreira

Mr Goldberg was on Oreilly last week, and talked negatively of an unnamed Fox host who he claimed told lies and pretended to be a journalist and how bad this was. Well Bernie, why are you so infatic that commentators state whether they are a journalist or not?? There are millions of them that work for the Main Stream media, who tell lie after lie every day, they are the people who are suppposed to get the real story for the people, but in their failure the rise of conservative commentators seems to be the only ones in media who are looking for the truth and the crooked ties between Obama and his cohorts. I dont see any journalist at CBS,NBC ABS reporting the Obama ties, so give me a break with your comments

I don’t listen to Rush so I can’t speak to your criticism of him but I do listen to Bill O. You obviously don’t. Otherwise you would get your facts straight. Listen to the man if you want to criticize him – not some pieced together clip from a competing news source. That’s just good advice for both Left and Right.

I LOVE it!!! “My point is that I don’t hate anyone, what I hate is the uninformed people….” she doesn’t hate anyone….. LOL
By the way, have you ever looked at the hate speech that comes out of the left wing. The hate that comes out of the fringes of the right wing can’t even match that hate that comes from the ordinary left wing….

THAT WELL CHOREOGRAPHED SCENE BETWEEN GOLDBERG AND O’REILLY WAS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD. NOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS HAVE SHOWN THEIR DISLIKE OF FOX
POX, BERNIE SAYS A FEW DISINGENUOUS THROW-BECK-UNDER-THE-BUS COMMENTS, THEN PARRYS THROUGH IN TIME TO TELL O’REILLY THAT HE IS NOT LIKE THAT. BILL FEIGNS SURPRISE, BECAUSE IT’S JUST LIKE “EDITORIALS”, “EARTH DAY”, AND “PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT”,SO WHY ARE PEOPLE UPSET. THIS RANKS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BODY LANGUAGE “EXPERT” WHO TELLS O’REILLY WHAT PEOPLE REALLY MEAN, ROUGHLY TRANSLATED: DEMOCRATS, BAD. REPUBLICANS GOOD. THEN REASSURES BILL THAT HE NEVER USES BAD BODY LANGUAGE. WOW, I DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING. DO THOSE STEAMING PILES OF FODDER EVER STOP? EARTH DAY, AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, DO NOT CALL THE PRESIDENT A RACIST, DO NOT ENCOURAGE VIEWERS TO SUBBORN TREASON BY OVERTHROWING THE GOVERNMENT, DO NOT RACE BAIT, AND DO NOT USE LIES AND INNUENDO TO FRIGHTEN THE CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY. WE HAVE FOX NEWS, RUSH, AND DOBBS TO DO THAT FOR US! YOU CAN ONLY LISTEN TO NEGATIVE HATE SPEECH FOR SO LONG, THEN YOU TUNE IT OUT! CYA ALL YOU CAN BECAUSE THE MAJORITY HAS HAD IT WITH PIN HEADS LIKE YOU, LOOFAH BOY!

I was shocked to hear you bash O’Reilly and Fox News. The only reason many of us even know who you are is because of Fox News. Guess you don’t like anybody.

What happened to the reporting of the NYT? I remember as a young french girl when we entertained NYT reporters and others in our home. My older sister dated one of them . They were our heroes and better than the French newspapers related what had happened since D-Day. They listened to my father who shared with them what life had been under the German occupation (we had a camp across from where we lived) to the average person,. The nightly bombings ,the shortages , the constant fear . Little did I know that years later, living in Manhattan ,I would be reading read the newspaper every week end and working closely for a then famous man, Bernard Baruch. We would do the crossword puzzles together. Where did this, one time the best newspaper, lose its way?…

Bernard:
Thanks to you, I’ve been able to refute the liberals I see every Saturday morning at the local coffee shop. An ex-Marine who claims to be an independent said George W. didn’t “volunteer” for Viet Nam.
It’s also a pleasure to read so many thoughtful comments. Apparently the liberals who search blogs to attack conservatives haven’t discovered you yet. Or… the arguments posted are so irrefutable, they are left speechless.
Bravo to you.
