When No News is THE News.

Charles Gibson on ABC World News Tonight, a week ago:



It's the kind of news that some journalists in the mainstream think isn't worth reporting, because it's not part of their narrative.

And now, good news for a day: There's nothing to report.

Charles Gibson on World News Tonight, October 18, 2007:

One item from Baghdad today. The news is… that there is no news. The police told us that, to their knowledge, there were no major acts of violence. Attacks are down in Baghdad and today no bombings or roadside explosions were reported.

No news is GREAT news! Now I'll wait for all the MSM to report the development. Yeah, right.

Excellent Word, I knew you'd find the clip. I'm busy today getting ready for the big rally tomorrow. I'm breakin out the monster flags and it's going to be windy tomorrow too. The Philadelphia news reporters will be there too. Lots going on will report back for mission debriefing. The guys in Iraq need to see we're still behind them and we haven't forgotten about them.
