We'd know who to nominate.
McCain's inauguration will be scheduled for late January and the ship of state will sail grandly onward to victory in Iraqistan. The right wing journalists will get raises for perceptive writing.
Otherwise . . . they might find themselves writing their angry memoirs from their home office. You know?
Bad news! How do we get them here?

Thus far the unimaginable radiation levels existing outside cislunar space present the only (if huge) hurdle to Bush-style corporate fascism in the cold vacuum of space.
Part of the new journalism order is a public record that's only selectively corrected or corrected when the public outcry is large enough.
The media, like its onetime war king, has lost all credibility...its toothpaste shall not see its tube again no matter how much rock 'n roll bumper music CNN uses.
The fossilized corporate media is trapped in amber of its own making...Soon all you'll see unless government assumes its rightful regulatory role is interviews with adult film stars, jesus-shaped food products and more and more anchor skin...

1) Was correct about the climate crisis, before it was trendy to think so.
2) Was on the trail of Osama Bin Laden, befre anyone knew who this clown was. Weekly reports on the guy.
3) If Al Gore were elected in 2000, YES I will say it. 9/11 would most certainly have been thwarted. 7000 Americans would be alive today, hundreds of thousands Iraqis would be alive today. And Sadam would be boxed in and insignificant to the world.
9/11 happed on the republicans watch. Period. McCain is a fraud and a liar. Period. Bush has been a disaster for the entire world.
Let's just call it like it is folks. At the water cooler, around town, and cocktail partys. JUST SAY IT. These Republicans need to start taking responsibility for their vote. Don't back down....they don't.
Bad form for a news organization.
Should we expect a story from Reuters such as:
"John McCain, the presumptive nominee for the Republican party and ancient historical artifact, ...."
"Dick Cheney, Vice President and walking colonoscopy bag, ..."
"President George W. Bush, dimwitted and inarticulate twit, ..."
"Robert Novack, columnist and pedestrian crusher,..."
"Political advisor Karl Rove, satanic hellboy spawn of Nixon and Watergate, ..."
"Grover Norquist, well known bore unpopular at Washington parties, ..."
"Reuters PROPAGANDA agent Thomas Ferraro, long mocked as a biased ass... "
I'm sure Karl Rove couldn't have picked a better speaker at the Denver convention
Al Gore, long mocked as an exaggerating bore, seems certain to land a lead role at the Democratic National Convention as an internationally recognized defender of the Earth. This was the first sentence of a piece by your reporter Thomas Ferraro. Why has Reuters become a cover for Republican lapdog hacks like your Mr. Ferraro? Why can't you inform your "journalists" that they must at least pretend to be unbiased if they are to write legit news? Reuters is now officially part of the Opinion Media...along with Sidoti and Fournier of The AP. Congrats! I know what you traitorous Bastards are doing and I will not forget...

And they do allow comments. My comment was only the ninth.
You know what to do...

It's probably even better to join Joyce and register at Reuters and make a public comment, as well.
The rest seems to be up to the blogs.
Seems like they all jumped out of the closet over the past few years.
I wonder how these folks call themselves "journalists" with a straight face? Don't they have kids and colleagues and old friends they have to face??

Assumes they aren't doing EXACTLY the job they are being paid to do.
Enjoy.
On Reuters FAQ page it claims that:
"Do Reuters journalists voice their own opinions?
No, never. News stories are sourced very clearly and precisely to enable readers and viewers to form their own judgment. Our correspondents do not use unconfirmed reports as the basis of a story, nor do they offer subjective opinion."
It is obviously apparent that Thomas Ferraro iis injecting either his own biased opinion, or far-right-wing talking points into the very first sentence of his article titled:"Gore likely to star at Democratic convention" Link:<http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN3050730520080731>
The clearly propagandistic, opinion-based opening sentence reads,"Al Gore, long mocked as an exaggerating bore, seems certain to land a lead role at the Democratic National Convention as an internationally recognized defender of the Earth."
Al Gore has only been mocked by a small number of far-right fringe Republicans. That description has no place in a news report, unless it is a report on far-right extremists and their blatant lies about people in the center of moderate left.
Since the two editors credited in this article let his personal bias pass into print indicates to me that the staff at Reuters is heavily biased and Reuters has far more interest in promoting propaganda rather than presenting fact-based news in an unbiased manner.
I can no longer take Reuters at their word, all future articles are suspect, since Reuters endorses the bizarre and unrealistic viewpoint of America's extreme right-wing.
That being said, the economy, and other things can be blamed on George Bush and the war effort and all. Take a look at the most recent dip in the stock market to see the impact:
