It's not surprising anymore.
I've also come to expect the national media parrotting the administration line and not knowing/desiring to report that three republican congressmen were sent by the administration to Syria a few days earlier.
It's just a sad fact that we don't have any Cronkites or Murrows in this country anymore.
Instead, we get Courics. Flashy exterior with no backbone inside. Someone who tells the news like the parent corporations want, which is not rocking the boat.
But how ballsy of the Administration to publicly blast Pelosi for this when they had already sent three Republicans to the exact same place. America is going to fall for his lies and spin on this one too. Noone is telling them any different...
Noone is going to know that Bush sent three Republicans to be diplomatic too. Only that Pelosi is going behind Bush's back to undermine the troops or some such nonsense.
Pelosi is actually there on behalf of Israel, who is willing to open diplomatic channels and start negotiating. link

There are different audiiences. Bush is sending a message to Syria. Pelosi is sending a message to her base. Syria is sending a message, using Pelosi (look at their national headlines), to its supporters. Bush stopped caring about what you (or we) think about two years ago. Bush is more forcused on what he wants to accomplish before the end of his term, his ratings can't get much lower.
