Postgate? Washington Post behaving scandalously in wake of Romney hit piece
American Thinker ^ | May 11, 2012 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 05/11/2012 5:37:23 PM PDT by Interesting Times

The Washington Post is behaving in a rather Nixonian fashion, refusing to openly admit that its hit piece on Mitt Romney in high school yesterday contained serious errors that seem to reveal malevolent intentions. The coverup -- quietly altering the text in the online version, but not admitting error there, or publishing a formal correction -- may be worse than the crime, in classic "-gate" fashion.

Matt Lewis explains one problem:

How can Romney's old pal Stu White tell the Washington Post that he has "long been bothered by the Lauber incident" - and then later admit to ABC News that he was "not present for the prank" and "was not aware of it until this year when he was contacted by the Washington Post"?

Actually, this incident shows that the Washington Post is working directly with the White House. And other major media are involved also.

Yep. Biden, the Obama "change of heart" on gay marriage, and this are all the same operation.

What are barrels of ink vs. gigs of data available instantly?

There’s a good reason the WaPo and NYT haven’t made a dime’s profit in years. Only their other investments keep the companies alive.

NBC News is a co-conspirator.

That would be gigs of data that instantly refute anything that they assert as truth. It is clear that they are essentially the propaganda organs of the DNC.

The fourth estate cum Fifth Column has become an abject failure, like everything that the left does.

I no longer consider anyone who is a democRAT to be an American, they are enemies of liberty. Filthy F***ing Communists, every last one of them.

>> “What does impress me about Romney is how fast they fight back through their own media.: <<

.
Romney seems to have more common sense than W had. W never fought back, no matter how ugly the lie was.

>> “ His campaign is showing signs of life that were conspicuously absent from the McCain kissyfest” <<

.
McCain never had any desire to win; his performance in the TV “debates” proved that beyond doubt.
