Her experience and the experience of similar newscasters should have received more attention from the media. I cannot help but draw a comparison between the suppression of Tibetan protest coverage in Beijing and the suppression of Government protest coverage at the RNC. It's sad. Poster: No youth in the Driver's Seat Comment: We would not let a 16 year old drive a car on a super highway. So, Why should we allow them to determine what is best for this country? But for many of you - the 24 year olds who made Obama so popluar was 16 years old - 8 years ago during the Bush term. During the term - These teens were living with their parents in a sheltered life while overdosing in pop culture with the likes of Paris and her friends and listening to gangsta rap. This young and misguided group of 24 yr olds is the main reason why Barack has shot up the political charts. Because of this group who prefers to follow the crowd instead of following their own path -they has made Obama popular like the shows on the CW. America, Take back the car keys from the misguided youth and Say no to the youth and say no the KID. Poster: Bob Shavelson Comment: I grew up in New Jersey, and I once held Christie Whitman in high esteem. She was fiscally conservative and socially moderate, and she governed sensibly. But after watching her as EPA Administrator take the drubbing on climate change/C02 regulation from Dick Cheney, then listening to her tonight say the U.S. is the *only* country not utilizing *all* its energy resources, I can only see base political motivation in her words and actions. Then she had the audacity to refer to basic Republican ideals, such as keeping government from meddling in individuals' lives - when her party's current platform does more to intrude on the rights of women than any in history. Whitman came of age in the era of Gingrich, Delay and Cheney, and I'm saddened to hear her spouting the irrational dogma that will only lead to more of the same in Washington, DC. Poster: Mary Wilson Comment: I was disappointed that Cindy McCain made a spin about Michelles comment about 'being so proud of the US for the first time'...when knowledge of the history of the US has for black Americans, and for nonblacks too, had such a horrible history. I would have expected a more understanding response from this educated woman. Poster: mark dahlen Comment: both great pieces this week. I'd like to see the amy goodman piece video available for view on the website. Why is it not available like the other story? thanks Poster: Gerri Michalska Comment: Re Amy Goodman's presentation. Freedom of the press? What do Republicans care about the First amendment or people's rights? Vote Democrat and retain your rights! Poster: P. Ng Comment: Just finished watching David Brancaccio's interview of Amy Goodman on Friday evening, 9/5/08 about her arrest in the Republican convention. There were not much coverage either in the newspaper, TV or web (wondering why). Nevertheles, please send a copy of the video to the Chinese Government so that it knows about the human rights in the U.S. When the Chinese Government arrested the rioters in Tibet, we had a field day. It seems to me (the pot calls the kettle black). The Chinese Government did the right thing to restore law & order. After all, Tibet is always one of the provinces of China for thousands of years.
