FLASHPOINT for Feb 01, 2007

Thu, Feb 1, 2007 (7:09 a.m.)

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?
