That was exactly what we were told during our coverage of John Edwards. I’ll repeat: if it’s true, we’ll report it. If it is not, we’ll report it. As we are a member of the Maintream press, we won’t black it out and tell you later we goofed: we’ll report on it and if what we report changes, we’ll report on that.
We assume that if people have the same info as us, they can make up their minds on the validity.
And see? You’ve already made up yours.
So that’s reassuring.
Thanks for your comment.
No, they’re not scamming, they’re just covering all their basis in order to preserve their credibility. It’s very important to them, even if the unedited tapes have an impact on the election, to release this information. It will be coming very, very soon. /s
This thread needs a BS meter.

LOL!! Daily Moonbeam update. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s (non) update!
Did you know PBS is running a poll about Sarah Palin?
what does DEBKA have to say about all of this?
At which point they we will trnasfer to FOXNEWS the documents and all pertaining materials and a check for $1 million US dollars to deposit for which they can keep 30% for processing fee"
This is a bunch of crap from some international agency who thinks they can “toy” with the U.S. Back off.
I will believe this when I see Fox News state they are in negotiations.
I didn’t read this close. Did they say FOX News or The Simpsons?
