Sex and the Virginian Pilot

Pravda was a beacon of journalistic truth and technical prowess compared with the Virginian Pilot

The editors at the Virginian Pilot must have had a thrill running up their leg when they wrote about the new best seller "The Obama Nation."

The Virginian Pilot, never one to let facts stand in the way of opinion, had declared Jerome Corsi’s “The Obama Nation” “ - a scrim of discredited reportage..”

It is, of course, a matter of settled wisdom among the Leftards that remain employed at this disreputable rag, that the Swiftboat Vets were also discredited. What’s never disclosed is what points the Vets made were discredited and by whom. It’s just one of those “facts” that’s accepted on faith by the Left.

So now we have the same theme being practiced by the MSM: ignore Corsi and his book on Obama because it’s “discredited.” Bullshit on stilts.

Why even go with this smear? Simple, Corsi’s book is at the top of the best seller lists.

At JustOneMinute "Unfit for the truth" we have a more fact-filled discussion of “The Obama Nation” from some people who have actually read it.

And for the benefit of those who bought into the Swift Boat Vets being discredited, here’s reality without the bluster from the cover-up media:

It appears to me that the Obama Freikorps have made a huge and costly blunder. All he has done, all he has done, is to insure that sales of Jerome Corsi's book will go up. People who never heard of Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., have now heard of Jerome Corsi, Ph.D..

Ah, yes. The Virginian Pilot. A hard hitting source for news and opinion. Today is Sunday; usually an extra page or two in the editorial section. Alas, not in this rag. The Pilot uses the extra editorial page to put puffball non political claptrap cartoons in between George Will and MC et al. I asked them to move it to a more appropriate section to no avail. They are making USA Today look like a highbrow publication.

Bullshit on stilts.

LOL.

I thought that was a particularly good turn of phrase.

I'm stealing it.
