Confirming what we reported earlier today, ABC News has admitted that it knows nothing about the origins of the "GOP talking points" memo that it first published. An ABC source writes:
the memo discussed a republican bill and was distributed to repulbican senators. That's what we reported. we are obviously not going to divulge our multiple sources. I appeciate your questions, but believe you are approaching this from the wrong end. We asked numerous sources - all confirmed that senators had received the memo in conjunction with one of the bills on the floor. For three days none of those sources has given us any reason to think there is more to the memo than a particularly naked expression of the politics of Shivo case.Try to ignore the spelling. ABC first reported the memo as a bombshell that disclosed Republican strategy. Now it says that it the memo "discussed a republican bill" and was "distributed to [some] repulbican senators." Whatever ABC may think of the "politics of the Shivo [sic] case," the network admits that it knows nothing about who authored and distributed the memo.
More MSM tricks!
ABC and their minions in the death culture pushed the bogus story to influence public opinion.
The "Sub-Media" has Spell-Check at FR
And brains
And we don't use a 1971 typewriter
Or 2002 MS Word
Hey, that's some great reporting there, ABC. Shout accusations from the ramparts, then claim complete ignorance as to your sources when asked. The MSM is taking "reporting" to depths that would embarass the National Enguirer, and maybe even Dan Blather.
Update Ping
Thanks for the ping, It looks like the MSM has been caught again :-)
LOl!
ABCNNBCBS are at it again.
Thanks for the ping! I have been following this story. :-)
Surprise, surprise. Smearing Christians and Republicans with a memo they cannot verify. Must have received pointers from CBS.
Let me guess ... it was the producers fault *L*
LOL, The cruckst of the Memo was correct, it's just the memo itself was a forgery :-)
Just want to say .. Good job to PowerLine for nailing their butts!
Your post made me laugh .....(...ps...IMHO, you left out a "Karl Rove must be involved" reference, otherwise GREAT !!)
I've been wondering what ol' Dan's been doing since "retiring" from the anchor chair a week or so ago...

Dan is now Product Development consultant at Kinkos.
Thanks for the ping. :) This is certainly interesting to follow ever since I read it in the WaPo.
I can't wait to see Peter strap on the bomb vest.
Dan Rather didn't go over to ABC did he?
