Valerie Plame: Far-Left Media Matters 'Seeks Accuracy' & 'Truth'
Newsbusters ^ | December 9, 2007 | Brent Baker

Removing any doubt about how she sees the world from the left, Valerie Plame Wilson, in an interview Thursday which aired Saturday night on a Washington, DC area cable channel, admired the work of the far-left Media Matters as she revealed she seeks out the group's postings for their “accuracy” and presentation of “the facts.” Carol Joynt (her blog), a former CBS News producer who as the owner of the Nathans of Georgetown restaurant every week interviews a newsmaker in front of a lunch crowd in what becomes the hour-long Q&A Cafe on NewsChannel 8, asked whether she reads “news differently than the rest of us?” Plame Wilson replied:

Having been at the center of this, I'm much more skeptical. I do try to seek other sources of information. I find something like -- there's a blog called Media Matters, I think it's Media Matters, that seeks to sort of accuracy. You know, here's some statements in the Washington Post or the New York Times or made by presidential candidates of both stripes, here's, here are the facts on them. I find that is helpful.

The exchanged on Q&A Cafe run at 6pm Saturday night on NewsChannel 8, an all-news cable channel owned by the same company which owns DC's ABC affiliate:

CAROL JOYNT: Do you read the news reports now and see it, you can't help but see it through the lense of your CIA experience. Do you read news differently than the rest of us?

VALERIE PLAME WILSON: Hmm. Like we touched on before, having been at the center of this, I'm much more skeptical. I do try to seek other sources of information. I find something like -- there's a blog called Media Matters, I think it's Media Matters, that seeks to sort of accuracy. You know, here's some statements in the Washington Post or the New York Times or made by presidential candidates of both stripes, here's, here are the facts on them. I find that is helpful to go-

This, like all episodes of Q&A Cafe, will re-run Sunday night at 11pm on NewsChannel 8.

Bob Novak is scheduled to be a guest in January.

I think people had to pay to attend this luncheon and that Channel 8 paid Plame to speak. How much IIRC, they wouldn’t say. Read a blurb about that little factoid somewhere. LOL.

LOL.

Nathan’s isn’t even her “joynt”, it was her dead husbands. Carol inherited the restaurant after he died suddenly.

LOL. A big “Media Mutters” fan.....

We already knew that Valerie Plame was/is a tool of the vicious America-hating Soros/Clinton left, but usually she tries to keep her real views under wraps. Now the real Valerie Plame begins to emerge, and the idea that this leftist twit had burrowed into the heart of our intel world is almost as disturbing as that appalling NIE just produced by Valerie Plame’s pals......

It’s a pretty crap restaurant. There is no reason to ever eat there given the other choices within a stone’s throw.

I had this take on it myself- Very good. Wonder if Rush has picked up on it. —

Dem Ethos:
It’s terrible to reveal the name of a CIA agent who is helping Saddam, but its mandatory to reveal the name of a CIA agent who is hurting Al Qaeda.

What is even more shocking, is to think that such a leftist socialist worked for the CIA?

As Anne COulter says, McCArthy was right then and he is right now.

Duty within the CIA was likely "optional" depending on whether she agreed with the presidential policy involved at any given time.

I'd like to see this petty excuse for a woman put behind bars as a result of her aiding and abetting the enemy.

Since when do CIA employees make their own foreign policy and then go about traducing the policy of the president of the United States?

Seriously.

Why isn't this woman behind bars, along with her puppeteer husband?

Valerie needs a Christmas goody-bag from Doc Johnson.

After all, she’s already married to a douche bag.
