| Another "Distraction:" Terry McAuliffe Was Using Words From Forgeries 9 Hours Before Rather's Broadcast Began »
September 23, 2004
Shocker: Public Confidence in Media Reaches 30 Year LowI'd like to claim that bloggers and internet newshounds had something to do with that. The truth, however, is that they did it to themselves. To extend the Watergate analogy-- a gift that just keeps on giving -- they gave us the sword with which to stab them, and we all collectively drove it home with relish. I have come not to praise the liberal media, but to bury it. At some point the mainstream media is going to have to twig on to the fact that it actually isn't so very "mainstream" at all. They are entitled to their opinions; but they're not entitled to continue insisting they speak for a nation which increasingly looks at them like some sort of pot-smokin', hot-tubbin', wife-swappin' tick on the national underbelly. Is it wrong to allege that an entire class of professionals engages in pot-smokin' and wife-swappin'? Well-- I have "unimpeachable sources" who've passed me vigorously-authenticated documents which "raise serious questions" about the media's preference for tokin' ganj and gettin' the occasional dose of a little strange. PS: Obviously, I'm really hoping for that appearance on Paula Zahn. Fingers crossed! posted by Ace at 03:25 PM

Hah! All along the man posing as the Legendary Unimpeachable Source of Baird Texas was... Mr. Burkett?!?! So, all along Mr. Burkett was peddling forgeries in order to trick Old Man Bush out of his amusement park. I've seen it a thousand times before. Oldest story in the book. Posted by: ace on September 23, 2004 03:41 PM
From kerryspot... At an 11:00am press event Sept. 8 (9 hours before the infamous 60 minutes report) Terry McAwful said, 'George W. Bush's cover story on his National Guard service is rapidly unraveling. ... George W. Bush needs to answer why he regularly misled the American people about his time in the Guard and who applied political pressure on his behalf to have his performance reviews 'sugarcoated.'

A story that (tangentially) involves Rather and the words "a little strange." Struck me as funny. Posted by: Birkel on September 23, 2004 03:56 PM
Read down to the poll details. the percentage of people expressing a great deal of trust and confidence in the mass media is down to SINGLE DIGITS! 9 %. And make sure you read question 32. Posted by: Phil on September 23, 2004 04:09 PM
And by an "appearance on Paula Zahn" what you really me is "gettin' a lil strange". Right? Posted by: Senator PhilABuster on September 23, 2004 04:47 PM
Want simple proof of MSM liberal bias? Mr. Bush (the draft dodger) long ago signed a form DD-180 which opened up his entire military case file to the world. Mr. Kerry (the war hero) has refused to do the same thing. But when have you heard anyone in the MSM demand that Kerry allow full access to all of his records? Nuff said.

Hey, don't equate -- or even correlate -- smoking the kind with wife-swapping or liberalism. There are plenty of libertarians and even conservatives who happen to prefer grass to alcohol. Of course, they can't come "out" any more than homosexuals could in the 1930s. When the sh*t is legalized you'll all be amazed to learn who's been smoking all along.

So Ace, You're saying you'd like to appear on tv on top of Paula Zahn? Well, I must say I wouldn't hate that myself. Posted by: thebastidge on September 25, 2004 06:30 AM

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.[CBD]
