Giuliani's Serial Lying - Are any in the MSM TV media
calling him on any of this? I don't watch anything except Olbermann so I'm just wondering if the Tweeties and Wolfie's of cable news have gone after him in anything approaching the infamous "lying Gore" attacks of 2000?

Thanks for any insight

1. No.....
The media is much too busy dissecting Hillary and Obama to go there!

2. This is as bad as "the fix" has ever been.
Guliani says something once a day, on average, that would have ended 100s of political campaigns in a world with an impartial press.

I have never seen anything like it... the election in 2002 was covered more objectively.

3. No, see IOKIYAR
That is, It's OK If You're A Republican. Now, if you're a Democrat running for high office, you're calculating and manipulative because you're trying to get people to vote for you. A Republican just has all these people voting for him because they'd like to have a beer with him.

If a Democrat bungles the name of the FEMA official he visited a disaster relief site on his third trip there, he's a serial exaggerator who can't speak the truth. A Republican who tries to steal the mantel of real heroes, like the workers at Ground Zero, is a swell fellow whom everyone loves.

A Democrat who makes his or her marriage work despite some rough spots is a cold fish, a political machine who does everything with one eye on the polls. A Republican who runs through three or four wives and an equal number of mistresses is a strong leader that America pines for.

Does it all make sense now? :crazy:
