Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before...
First, she's donated the maximum amount legally allowed ($2,000) to Dick Gephardt's campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination in the 2004 election cycle.
Second, she's on TV crowing about the her confidential, unnamed sources.
And finally, the USAToday is pushing the "they didn't object" angle as a confirmation of their story. We all remember how well that worked out for CBS's John Roberts.

No surprise. Just more lies by the liberal media. Let's see if they get away with this one. Haven't noticed much coverage in the MSM on USA TODAY's exposed lie; maybe if the MSM doesn't cover it, it didn't happen.

Here's how the editors at USAToday phrased it, "On the night before the story was published, the newspaper described the story in detail to BellSouth, and the company did not challenge the newspaper's account."
We'll that settles it; it must be true.

Your line is worth repeating...
"We make up the news other reporters won't report."

Yeah, USAToday probably called Bellsouth Customer Service and was connected to some flunky in Bangalore.

Millions of people saw the USA Today headline on newstands all over the country. How many people will see NewsBusters?
That's the basic secret of how the MSM gets away it. They are gradually undermining their credibility, and their bottom lines are eroding, but it's a slow process. Meantime they still control the propaganda war.

The MSM is just so pathetic.
I mean..do they like deliberately set out to find the world's biggest liars, the people with the least morals, and most evil, obnoxious human beings and then employ them in the MSM?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Surely it can't be by accident that nearly everyone that works in the MSM is so totally without principle or morals and is so evil?

"Millions of people saw the USA Today headline on newstands all over the country."
Which is precisely what the MSM counts on, they know their readers, the majority simply read a headline and take it as fact, they then feel informed and equipped to talk about it at the water cooler. Does anyone think that this is far more organized and intentional than just a few rogue reporters or journalists slanting the news?

Hehehehe...
The MSM has had a free ride for the past 30, 40, 50 years. They've never had to fight and have grown fat, dumb and lazy over the years. They're sitting ducks to anyone that wants to f with 'em.

With the phone companies demanding a retraction . . . . I thought it was only BellSouth? Are the others as well?
