Fresh from the phony Bush Air National Guard documents scandal, CBS 60 Minutes was planning on running the phony al-Qaqaa explosives story on Sunday - 36 hours before the election. The NY Times leaked it early, and the story it's self is leaky and full of holes.
Also yesterday, CBS, which had planned to break the explosives story on "60 Minutes" on Sunday — 36 hours before the election — said it now plans to run a story on the show charging that U.S. troops were sent to Iraq without proper body armor because of Bush's tax cuts, a charge often leveled by Kerry. The network recently came under fire for a now-discredited report by Dan Rather questioning Bush's National Guard service.
Now, the New York Post dropped a bombshell at the tail end of an article about the al-Qaqaa explosives story.
Yes, you read it right.
The Blogspirator as absolutely furious. There is no doubt in our mind that CBS is doing everything they can to manipulate the election.
This is nothing less than a coordinated attempt to steal the election between the mainstream media and the DNC.
Their license should be revoked. Or Bush should demand equal time.
The question is, will we sit by meekly and watch the MSM and the RATs smear us once again, or will we actually be proactive this time and vigorously contest the charges and discredit the sources? The entire election may depend on the answer to this question.
CBS is so out of touch with main stream America if they think that this will swing it toward KERRY. IMHO
"IN HARM'S WAY - Even though roadside explosive devices account for half of all the war's U.S. casualties, soldiers are still getting killed and wounded by them because the Pentagon hasn't provided enough fully-armored vehicles to protect..."
They just don't know when to stop. They lost all credibility with their last NG fiasco, don't they realize they are a big joke? No one with any common sense will take them seriously anymore. This last episode before the election smacks of desperation as well. Sucks to be CBS.
Fully armored vehicles can't protect you against every explosion. They also weigh more and go slower - making them easier to hit with RPG and .50 Cal guns.
CBS are dumb.
I wonder what a WWII vets wore when they stormed Normandy or Iwo Jima beaches or Korean war vets at Inchon or even a Vietnam vets at Khe Sanh. I'll bet that they didn't phone home about there body armor
They don't know Kerry voted against body armor??
cBS are evil and they hope the sheeple are dumb.
ping
MAybe they should be threatened like sinclair was about stolen honor!
So this is OK, but showing Stolen Honor isn't OK. Does that sound about right?
