CBS News Changes Its Story-- AgainWithout noting previous error, CBS News slips in mention of Beverly Cocco's partisan connections to Parents Against the Draft This is sort of what I expected, but I'm still surprised. But Rathergate has a clip of the story as it actually aired-- no mention of an ideological affiliation, and they don't seem eager to correct the record. No mention about the sham emails CBS endorsed, but I expect we'll be seeing a rowback on that score shortly. Another rowback seen by at most thousands, when the actual dishonest broadcast was viewed by millions. This is a corrupt organization. I said it, I meant it-- corrupt. There are affiliate phone numbers and emails at the sidebar. It would probably be a good time to use them. Update: Protein Wisdom has some documents of its own to report. posted by Ace at 05:25 PM

I think NBC is about to hatchet the fuck out of the CBS story. Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on September 29, 2004 06:33 PM
Eh, it wasn't so much a hatchet, but a mild debunking. Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on September 29, 2004 06:36 PM
Brit Hume carried the newest fake story. Unfortunately, he seemed to yawn - you know, so what's new. Posted by: MaDr on September 29, 2004 06:54 PM

CBS: Putting the ANAL in analysis. Must be true, cuz only bullshit passes thru their signal. Posted by: Joan of Argghh! on September 29, 2004 08:46 PM
Here is what Unabrewer mentioned. On the one hand, they don't mention CBS at all. On the other hand, if you see the video, when they show the e-mail they stamp a giant red "BUNK" on it. The good news is that it is far more responsible journalism than at CBS. The bad news is no well-earned spanking for Rather. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6134043/ Posted by: Terry Notus on September 29, 2004 09:01 PM
If anyone at CBS had a pulse, they would have immediately (after the Killian memo fiasco) hired a blogger -- or at least, someone who has read blogs and has been around the internet for a few years, and has a passing knowledge of the "hoaxes" and how to verify (or at least raise flags about) questionable email. You know -- a college intern, or something. These people are dinosaurs. Posted by: cj on September 30, 2004 12:26 AM
Terry Notus: thanks for the MSNBC link. That was a fairly decent article. I may actually try watching the news sometime, if this keeps up. It would've been kinda nice if they'd pointed to some of the obvious warning signs in the email (friend who works there! did the email end with 'send this to everyone you know'?) and referenced some of the hoax-watching sites, but all in all not too bad. As for pointing more fingers at Dan Rather, I'm glad NBC did not. That sort of behavior is rarely wise on a news show. In fact, that's the behavior that has us all riled up, reaching conclusions instead of providing facts. Posted by: Persnickety on September 30, 2004 03:51 PM

Rich Lowry observed that while both Vance and Walz agreed with each other and polite, it hit different with each. Vance was clearly beating up this fat retard, so his agreement was seen as magnanimous to a clearly-outclassed opponent. Walz's agreement back did not seem magnanimous, as he was not in any position of strength, but seemed like the stupid kid in class agreeing with the smart kid so that the teacher would move on to the next kid. (On Megyn Kelly's post-debate show.)
Bill Kristol Not even Bill Kristol can lower himself to the Jen Rubin standard. Mollie A commenter noted that when these "ladies" asked Vance about what Walz babbled, they cleaned it up to make it sound semi-coherent. They couldn't just use his words because his words were Bidenesque. I saw someone note that -- what people just saw was a smart, capable, nice-mannered fellow against Fat Joe Biden.

Star of Shazam and Chuck (where he co-starred with Adam Baldwin, btw) Zachary Levi endorses Trump, says "We're going to take this country back"
Levi opened the event by explaining that he initially was backing RFK Jr. in the 2024 presidential election, and when Kennedy suspended his campaign, Levi knew to whom he was sending his support. I've had a feeling about this guy. A while ago he condemned the "attacks" on Brie Larson and the Captain Marvel movie, but I got the sense he felt he had to do that, because he's in a compromised position: a non-leftist in Hollywood. Glad to have him. I mean he's not Gary Oldman or Nicholas Cage or Star of Stage and Screen Nick Seacy, but he'll do.
Nine Inch Nails started off as a yacht rock band, you know
Sounds more like Kool & the Gang to me. They later changed their sound and recorded it for The MTV Thanks to @alexthechick Wait did Whitesnake start as a yacht rock band too? Again, I think this is much closer to early eighties R&B than yacht rock.

Yacht or Nyacht?
With a combined score of 49.5 on Yacht or Nyacht, I'd say this one is a "Nyacht." No Hoe Snow snap. Not bouncy. Pretty dreary. No smooth groove. You won't be able to snort cocaine out of the cleavage of a "Naval Mabel" or "Poopdeck Patty." Or even if you do, it will be half-hearted at best.
From Instapundit, a Free Beacon Fact Check:
Joe Biden, nominal president of the United States, sat down with the ladies of The View for an interview on Wednesday. "It's like having one of the Beatles at the table," co-host Sarah Haines said as the audience roared and her colleagues cackled. I guess that's true if you're talking about the Beatles. But individual members of the Beatles did some decent stuff in the 80s. Kyrsten Sinema
Classics of Yacht Rock Mystery Click
Oh but it's all right Once you get past the pain You'll learn to find your love again So keep your heart open This is a fantastic (casual) driving song, when you're actually driving a little below the speed limit because you don't really have anywhere to be. Going forward, if we have any arguments about what is or what is not Yacht Rock, we can just consult the Yacht or Nyacht? website, which has ranked hundreds of songs according to their Yacht Quotient (YQ). I can see this website stopping arguments, fistfights, and formal duels.
In solidarity with the MSM, Rich Lowry and National Review vilified the Covington Kids as racist agitators back in 2019. Now, it’s Rich Lowry being canceled for an accidental slip of the tongue that sounded like a forbidden word. There’s a lesson here for the Polite Right, but they won’t learn it. [Buck]
