Jennings Advances His Anti-War Agenda as Sunday Night Anchor The summit in the Azores, Peter Jennings sniffed Sunday night, was just “a summit of the convinced, some people said, when the time might have been used to work on those who are not convinced that war is the way to go.” Jennings also pressed a retired Lt. General to agree that “the U.S. would be somewhat readier if we waited a little longer” and highlighted a small anti-war protest as he insisted there is one “somewhere every day now.” From Baghdad, Dan Harris trumpeted Iraq's “continued cooperation with the weapons inspectors” before an ABC reporter discovered that in a small Indiana town “many...are not convinced the man they helped elect President is making the right choice when it comes to war.” 2. George W. the “Dumbest” President? Plausible to Andy Rooney 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney admitted on Sunday night that he found perfectly plausible the Internet claim that, based on his IQ, George W. Bush was the “dumbest” President in the past 60 years. “It sounded possible and I foolishly tried to find the Levenstein Institute,” Rooney conceded in noting how the charge was a “hoax.” 3. CNBC Notes Difference in Media Interest in Moran vs. Lott CBS on Friday night picked up on Democratic Congressman Jim Moran's blaming of Jews for driving the new war on Iraq, leaving ABC as the only network evening newscast to yet touch the controversy. And on CNBC, Joe Johns noted the similarity with the Trent Lott case but differing media reaction: "Moran's comments were the most public recent blunder by a member of Congress since Senator Trent Lott lost his leadership position for racially insensitive remarks in December. But Moran's mistake has so far failed to generate as much attention as Lott's did." 4. Boston Globe Editor Defends Reporting as Helpful to Hussein Hey Saddam, be nice to us journalists since we are helping you spread your propaganda! Reacting to Iraq's expulsion of a Boston Globe reporter for using a satellite phone in his hotel room to file a story, the paper's Foreign Editor, Jim Smith, told the AP: "It was a story that should have been regarded as useful for Iraq in telling its story and responding to allegations that it had a very impressive and dangerous drone."

May I ask what went wrong that so many governments and peoples around the world now not only disagree with you very strongly, but see the U.S. under your leadership as an arrogant power?” Find out who said the quote and many more, read today's Notable Quotables http://www.mediaresearch.org/notablequotables/2003/nq20030317.asp And, check out the Adobe PDF version: http://www.mediaresearch.org/notablequotables/2003/pdf/Mar172003.pdf ________________________________________________________________________________ Advertisement TELL A FRIEND TODAY If you enjoy our daily Web news update, pass it on to your friends.
