Sunday, May 30, 2010Harman Uses Bush/Cheney Fear Tactics On Winograd & Voters One would have hoped Bush and Cheney's terror-filled tack would have ended with their regime - but it didn't. It continued on with Jane Harman.

Saturday, May 22, 2010Will Marcy Winograd Pull a Sestak and Beat Jane Harman in the June 8th California Primary?

Monday, March 22, 2010Winograd vs. Harman in CA Primary: Will U.S. or Israel's Interests Come First?

He was dismissive of the public trust and disparaging of the best traditions of journalism by not digging for the truth.
Saturday, February 13, 2010Will Jonathan Karl Confront Cheney's Crimes In ABC's "THIS WEEK" Interview Sunday Morning? Tomorrow morning, in his reportedly live interview with Dick Cheney, Jonathan Karl has the opportunity to use his This Week host audition to become the first journalist to publicly and directly confront Dick Cheney on his crimes.
