Partisan American Media Ignores Putin’s Newsworthy Statement

July 13, 2004
Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) made the following remarks from the House Floor:"Mr. Speaker, leave it to the former head of the KGB to inject a little common sense into the American presidential race - and leave it to the partisan American media to ignore it," said Congressman Wilson."During the recent G-8 summit in Georgia, Russian President Vladimir Putin said to a gathering of the news media - and I quote - "I am deeply convinced that President Bush's political adversaries have no moral right to attack him over Iraq."Image removed. Watch Video"I did not find this quote in the New York Times or the Washington Post because they refused to report it. I didn't find it broadcast on CBS or NBC or ABC News either. I found this quote in China Daily, straight from Beijing!"You could have found the same quote in some Russian publications as well, including Pravda and the British-based Reuters News Service. But you could not find that quote in the American media except for one outlet - CBN."It's a sorry day for American journalism when they find themselves out-balanced by their counterparts in Communist China and Russia. It's also a new low for partisan media bias.In conclusion, may God bless our troops and we will never forget September 11th," said Congressman Wilson.###
