CBS’s Strassmann: ‘Mayhem and Misery are Back in Baghdad
During a news brief at the top of the 7am hour on Friday’s CBS "Early Show," CBS Correspondent Mark Strassmann reported on a suicide bombing in Baghdad:
So these twin attacks are devastating here, and not just to the families of the killed and wounded. To many people here, this morning's a frightening reminder that Baghdad may feel safer but is still a long way from safe. Mayhem and misery are…
Tapper Holds Up Coulter as Symbol of 'Blind Outrage' at McCain
ABC's Jake Tapper took some jabs at conservative columnist Ann Coulter in a February 1 post to his Political Punch blog.

UPI: Sour Economy Killing America's Horses

ZIMMERMAN, Minn., Jan. 31 (UPI) -- The…

As U.S. Troops Succeed, Network News Retreats from Iraq War Story
After months of improving security in Iraq, the big network morning shows on Friday cited one horrific suicide bombing as proof that “mayhem and misery are back in Baghdad,” as CBS correspondent Mark Strassmann put it.

Sit, Roll Over, Speak
