The Left Stream Media is now throwing Bob Woodward onto the sacrificial fire....
amazing
Thats great. Even the Hudson will cough him up.
bttt
She tampered with evidence, which WAS proved. That is also a "crime."
I don't think that Joe is a Dem. I know that his wife us a GOPer.
should say leapfrog.
you know bent over and all.
Pinko Pincus and his wife are VERY good friends of the Wilsons and if Pinko claims that he never did know about Mata Valerie, he's lying through his teeth!
The best point he made was that with this new information about Woodward knowing before Libby allegedly blabbed, then Fitz will have to "re-calibrate" his case. In other words, maybe the "lie" Libby allegedly told is now fact given this new info.
More popcorn?
I'll kick in the other $3. :=)
"... but I/(Woodward) testified that if Libby had said anything on the subject (of Plame being a CIA agent), I would have recorded it in my notes."
Blows Joe Wilson's allegations all to hell! If I wanted to 'ruin my wife's reputation' who better to blab to than Woodward? However, Woodward himself says that Libby didn't even mention anything on the subject.
Joe W., you're such a pos. argh!
From Jed Babbin's mouth to God's ears BUMP!!
Take it easy. I am not mocking you, I am making a statement about my faith in government never doing the right thing.
Maybe Im wrong but when he was a prosecutor I thought he qualified as being on the left side of the aisle ...at any rate he is honest and smart
Best guess is that the calls to Novak were taped by Joe IN THE PRESENCE of and at the direction of Joe's attorney.
Well, he just dashed that reputation right against the rocks, thanks to the DNC/MSM Kool Aid he's been chugging by the gallon. At the very least he looks like a total idiot. At worst, he looks like Ronnie Earle with a bit more gravitas and lot more money to burn.
"That happens a lot when you keep trying to bring down big game with no real ammunition and the critter keeps getting away as a result. The Dims in the government and the media have been after Bush for so long and with such venom that they make Captain Ahab look reasonable - real easy to convince yourself that there's some "there" there when you're so blinded by rage."
Your metaphor is so right on-It needs to become our sound bite. I tried to cut and paste a great photo into this reply. but couldn't do it. Can someone put in a great visual?
Beyond peradventure. In studying the problem of "bias in the media" I became fully convinced of its existence and became bored by further examples. So I stopped reading Reed Irvine's Accuracy In Media (AIM) Report and became fascinated with the reason behind the phenomenon.I realized that "the media" was an overbroad topic; whatever tendentiousness might exist in fictional movies and books there was no possibility of identifying any change which could be realized which could concievably make any difference. So I focused on nonfiction, and on the particular genre of nonfiction which is the locus of the problem - journalism.
And in studying the possible explanations for the leftist tendency in journalism I first hit upon the deadlines which actually define journalism as a genre of nonfiction. The deadline is actually "the show must go on" in the print world. Which highlights the fact that journalism is entertainment. As such journalism is intrinsically superficial.
The second characteristic I identified in journalism is negativity. "If it bleeds, it leads." Journalism isn't interested in the fact that Quaker provided all the oats anyone wanted for breakfast today - but let someone slip and fall in front of the Quaker plant - and the journalists descend upon the scene.
But the question about negativity was, "negativity towards what?" And what about journalism claiming to be objective, when its negativity and superficiality was such a clear non-objective tendency in journalism? And I then realized that the one characteristic which explains and defines the negativity of journalism is arrogance.
It is arrogant to argue from the assumption of your own superior virtue - and journalism constantly argues from the assumption of its own objectivity. The fact that journalists are arrogant would lead you to expect that journalism would be negative - would tear down any reputation in order to build up its own reputation.
Journalism and leftism have the same vice in common - arrogance and a bullying tendency.
Why Broadcast Journalism is Unnecessary and Illegitimate
Media bias bump.
I think Patrick Fitzgerald should get together with Gerald Fitzpatrick and throw out the indictment.
