« John Kerry: "I actually supported my country during the Vietnam War, before I aided the enemy's propaganda efforts" | Main | Update on Kerry's Claim of Being at Game 6 in '86 Series: ESPN Prints Kerry Spin Without Much Question »
October 26, 2004

Gee, I'm Glad There Are No Liberal Equivalents of the Sinclair Broadcasting Group

CBSNews and 60 Minutes forge ahead with their illegal coordination with the DNC, planning to run the fake "missing explosives" story 24 hours before the election.

But remember, it was very, very bad for the Sinclair group to show 4 minutes of anti-Kerry footage. Because, you know, they didn't have the proper "news judgment" that might have informed them that the media is allowed to be partisan, but only in favor of liberals.

If you don't vote, Dan Rather wins.

Please don't let him win.

UPDATE! Corrected Link! Were These Documents Even Real? Garfield Ridge has his doubts:

A "government source" is quoted in The Corner suggesting that it may be. They call the memo a "false letter."

Now, I'm unsure whether this person is accusing El Baradei of writing a false memo in his IAEA report to the U.N. Security Council, or if the original memo El Baradei allegedly received from the Iraqi Ministry of Science & Technology is false.

Obviously, if the original Iraqi memo is false, so is the story. Then again, we already know the story is false-- but what do the memos say?

How, um, shocked would you be if it were turn out 60 Minutes were relying on cheap forgeries for another Bush-bashing bit of illegal coordination with the DNC?

And... CBS' attempt at illegal coordination with the DNC apparently lost it its scoop.

Which, actually, sort of turns out to work in their favor, since the story was a sham from the start.

Oct. 25th front page of New York Times:

"HUGE CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES VANISHED FROM SITE IN IRAQ:
U.S. admits the loss of material it was urged to safeguard -- Inquiry is set"

Oct. 26th front page of New York Times:

"IRAQ EXPLOSIVES BECOME ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN
Kerry sees blunder -- Bush aides respond"

No mention of other, shall we say, nuanced developments.

By the way, thanks for all the traffic. I'd reciprocate, but I think most of my 15 readers already read you.

I notice that ABC News has expanded the quantity of missing explosives to 400 tons. Hey, whats 40 tons of explosives when you have a hot story?

Perhaps from now on organizations like 60 Minutes should carry an identifying letter like politicians and fun Puritan women. Like so:

Ace, I know that you're suffering from typing fatigue and are typing faster than you are thinking, but you need to fix a few aggravating typos.

On your left-hand Lede, please insert the word "of";

and in this current post's headline you need to put "there" there instead of their.

Geeze, Ace, you NEVER need a grammar nanny, are you outsorcing your typing? Not to worry, I've got your six.

Wait! I know a bunch of grammar police! Shall I get the Banterist to cite your site and send some web hits your way?

:o)

CBS was planning to air this in the eve of the election. Does this mean it's the "hottest" stuff they have on the President?!? If so, that's just lame.

Another nail in the coffin for CBS. Anyone mind if I gloat?

PBS is airing a show called "Rumsfield's WAr" TONIGHT From the PBS Website:

Rumsfeld's War
With the United States Army deployed in a dozen hot spots around the world, on constant alert in Afghanistan, and taking casualties every day in Iraq, some current and former officers now say the army is on the verge of being "broken." They charge that the army is overstretched, demoralized, and may be unable to fight where and when the nation desires. This fall, FRONTLINE and The Washington Post join forces for an in-depth assessment of the state of the American army and the nation's military establishment. The program digs into the aggressive attempts to assert civilian control and remake the military by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his allies."

Where is the outrage? Isn't this the "line" now that the libs are pulling - that the military is "broken"- stretched too thin ... and here comes PBS to put it all in perspective for us.

Just a point about securing Iraq:
I am sick of hearing about how we "protected the Iraqi Oil Ministry but didn't bother to secure high explosives!"

Just to explain or make this point - As I have said many times before - Could it be that the President and the Army knew more about what our real enemy/objective was in Iraq?

The weapons were not in the ammo dump when the army got there!

But the Documents that prove the UN was corrupt and was actually paid to be our enemy in this endeavor were still in the oil ministry! Got that! Without those we wouldn't have proof as to why they blocked us - why they stopped our entry through Turkey, which would have freed up our troops to stay behind and guard an empty ammo dump!

We wouldn't have been able to confront them (which I believe will happen in Bush's second term) and cause a real alliance against terror!

Folks, our real enemies in this matter are spinning this and Kerry and the Main Stream Media is helping them just so they can take over power. But what kind of power will they have at the end of this? We will be lucky to have the "spitballs" Zell Miller discussed at the RNC!

Ace--

Your link to my site is bad.

I wouldn't normally mention, but I eat site links for fuel.

If my Sitemeter doesn't go up, I could go into a coma.

As Dr. House says, YOU'RE RISKING THE PATIENT'S LIFE!!

Cheers,
Dave

I read on Amy Ritenour's site that on 11/01/04, Sundance will air (4) hit piece's on President Bush and his administration starting at 7:00 pm.

The first one's actually a cry piece about the 2000 elections.

The second one is "The Whole Truth About Iraq".

Three is "The War On Our Civil Liberties". Yeah, I really feel oppressed under dictator Bush.

Then they round it out with "Bush's Brain" which is actually about Karl Rove.

After all of that they'll serve up a wise-ass Al Franken as a sort of "cool down" sedative for all of the liberal democratic audience who had become so angry at watching the Bush bash that they'd began foaming at the mouth like a rabid liberal democrat is becoming known for.

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.
