[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] On Friday, while all three network morning shows covered Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry

arriving in Gay Paree to offer U.S. condolences following the recent terrorist attacks, none of the broadcasts mentioned one of the most embarrassing moments in American diplomatic history that occurred during the visit Kerry bringing musician James Taylor to a presser to sing "You've Got A Friend" to the French people.

The bizarre attempt at international damage control following the B.O. regime's failure to have a single top U.S. official attend a anti-terror march in Gay Paree on Sunday played out while the NBC, ABC, and CBS morning shows were on the air. NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell reported the musical incident on Twitter at 8:01 a.m. ET. Later on her 12 p.m. ET MSNBC show, Mitchell referred to the moment as "a somewhat awkward musical make-good."
The morning shows each gave only seconds to Kerry's Gay Paree trip, focusing on him laying wreaths at the sites of the attacks but avoiding his appearance with Taylor.
Only CBS This Morning actually noted that the visit was designed to fix a major misstep by the White House, as co-host Gayle King explained: "[Kerry] arrived in Gay Paree days after the U.S. was blasted for not sending a top official to Sunday's giant unity rally." |
