FLASHPOINT for Feb 01, 2007

Sen. Harry Reid's office is being so helpful to the media by sending out "suggested cutlines" for photos. One of Reid with the county manager had: "U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada and Clark County Manager Virginia Valentine discuss a variety of issues facing Nevada during a meeting in Washington, D.C." One of Reid and the delegation: "U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada meets with members of the Nevada congressional delegation to discuss the latest developments with Yucca Mountain, including a strategy to end the nuclear waste dump." Are they joking? Try this: "County official kisses senator's ring." And: "Delegation poses for camera during meaningless meeting." These pols say we should be accurate, right?
