ABC Suggests White House Trying to Suppress Pope's Envoy ABC's Terry Moran complained Wednesday night that the Pope's envoy, Cardinal Pio Laghi, was �prevented...from speaking at the White House� after he met with President Bush to urge that Bush do all he can to prevent war, but FNC's Jim Angle managed to find Laghi saying something which ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC all skipped over: Angle pointed out that Laghi �made clear that the Vatican doesn�t have much faith in Saddam Hussein.� 2. Jennings Stresses How Anti-War Marchers Back Homeland Security Peter Jennings went out of his way on Wednesday night to make anti-war demonstrators appear more well-rounded and reasonable. Highlighting some protests on college campuses, Jennings stressed on World News Tonight that �while the students oppose war,� they made �a point of saying they support homeland security but believe the government should be focusing on jobs, security and health care, as well.� 3. Ex-CBS Reporter Vieira Wants Anti-War Marches �Every Day� Former CBS News correspondent Meredith Vieira proclaimed on Wednesday's ABC daytime show, The View, that anti-war protests �should be consistent and repeated every day, I believe.� 4. ABC and CBS Treat Pro-Saddam March in Baghdad as Newsworthy ABC and CBS on Wednesday morning treated an officially organized march in Baghdad by police officers and firefighters as a newsworthy �show of support for Saddam Hussein� and a display of how Iraqis will �fight to the death� any American invaders. ABC's Dan Harris insisted �men wearing masks� was �a sign that they're willing to die for President Saddam Hussein.� CBS's Lara Logan contended that the parade was part of an effort by the Iraqi regime to �reassure� a public apprehensive about an invasion. 5. Helen Thomas: Why Does Bush Want to �Bomb Iraqi People?� The day before a presidential press conference, Hearst's Helen Thomas demanded of White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer: �Since we have no direct access to the President, would you state for the record, for the historical record, why he wants to bomb Iraqi people?� When Fleischer suggested Bush wants to eliminate the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, Thomas fired back: �There is no imminent threat!� 6. Jennings Notes Anniversary of Stalin's Death Leave it to Peter Jennings to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Josef Stalin as he highlighted how �more than 3,000 people met today at the Soviet dictator�s grave adjacent to Red Square. Many of them said Russia could use a leader like Stalin again.� But at least Jennings described Stalin as �one of the world's most brutal dictators� and pointed out that �he murdered millions of his own people.� 7. Rooney: Bush Team Hopes Some Journalists �Will Get Killed� Andy Rooney doesn't think much of embedding journalists with military units since it will give the military control over them and, he suggested, �I think maybe they're trying to stick it to the correspondents, they hope some of them will get killed.� Though he agrees with the French on Iraq, he told FNC's Greta Van Susteren on Tuesday night that the French have not �earned the right to be objectors to our position.� 8. ABC's Diane Sawyer Worries About �Massive Tax Cuts� In interviews on all three broadcast network morning shows on Wednesday, Treasury Secretary John Snow was pressed, given the growing federal deficit, about abandoning any further tax cuts. But while ABC's Diane Sawyer, CBS's Hannah Storm and NBC's Ann Curry all pushed Snow from the left on tax cuts, all failed to hit him from the right by asking about plans by both parties for a huge spending increase to create yet another entitlement program -- prescription coverage in Medicare. Sawyer put an emphasis on the word �massive� as she punctuated the word and said it louder when referring to �these are MASSIVE� tax cuts.� See today�s entire CyberAlert at: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2003/cyb20030306.asp ________________________________________________________________________________ Advertisement Media Research Center DisHonors Awards On Sale Now!

One of the nominees standing on the risers was Miguel Estrada. Liberal groups quickly decided to fight this 41-year-old Honduran immigrant tooth and nail. People for the American Way thought they were insulting him by calling him the �Latino Clarence Thomas.� Today, the Senate failed to end the Democratic filibuster of Estrada by a vote of 55 to 44 (60 votes are needed to end debate).

For decades, teenagers the world over have taken their fashion and musical cues from mop-topped Brits or satiny Swedes, but in the dour, lifeless world of the Soviet Union, rebellious youths were probably defined as those destined for the concentration camps. But that is changing with the growing pop-music phenomenon known as "Tatu" � an acronym in Russian for "This girl loves that girl." A pair of Russian girls who like to...
