MSM Admission: Tenet Did Not Call Iraq War "Wrong"

... pretty much obvious from reading the actual quotation. So why did the reporter claim that's what he said? Why was this falsehood the story's headline?

Correction, but of course less prominent than the original article.

The media always chalks these unbelievable gaffes up as mere mistakes -- "we're just human," they say. But it seems to me that all of these alleged "mistakes" seem to inure to the benefit of the Democratic Party, and against the Republican Party.

If you toss a coin 1000 times and it comes up heads 996 times and tails 4 times, well, now, you may be experiencing the tiny end of the probability curve. Or you just might be flipping a biased coin.

Drudge ran the original headline about Tenet calling the war "wrong" on their front page. I'm intensely irritated that, even though I (and probably others) let them know as soon as it popped up that there was an obvious problem with the piece, the lazy bastards ran with the inflammatory link text for the rest of the day until other news pushed it out of the available space. They could have pulled the story until they checked it out, or changed the headline to something like "Reporter claims Tenet called Iraq war wrong."

I haven't been so pissed off with a non-Leftist news vendor since the NY Post's front page screamed "BUSH KNEW!" about 9/11.

Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed
I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris.

Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.
