Moyer's ludicrous premise

Brian Montopoli challenges Moyer's premise and his editing in his show critical of th media's questioning of President Bush before the war in Iraq. He talks about several tough questions put to the president in the same news conference Moyer's cherry picked for soft ball questions. He is right, of course.

The proposition that the media has ever given President Bush a pass hardly passes the laugh test. What we have hear is more of the same speculation that was raised when we, like Saddam, were not able to account for the WMD that Saddam had previously declared and that intelligence agencies around the world, as well as the UN said he had.

It should be noted that the Iraqi survey group as well as others who looked for the WMD were never able to prove Saddam did not have it. All they proved is that we could not find it. They were left to speculate on why it could not be found. That is very different and it suggest that it is still unaccounted for.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
