We've spoken briefly about the trip that Speaker Pelosi and a bipartisan group took around the Middle East in past shows, but we dedicate a nearly triple-wide segment to the raging media controversy surrounding it. The neo-con familiars in the media have obfuscated the truth or outright lied for the past week, which means it's time for the ELPN to get to work and bring the facts. Israel's "clarification" of its position was probably more due to the right-wing slander than anything Pelosi did. She's also been traveling and going to these meetings with State Department officials, who surely would not allow her to overstep her bounds. The GOP also conveniently ignore the fact that congressmen from their own party met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad both before and after Pelosi did. Jared and Ralph shine some light on just how desperate the MSM is to paint the Democrats as soft on foreign policy, since their party has blown every foreign policy challenge it has been presented with.
