This type of scam has been going on for years, and the FTC has allowed these media companies to have so much cross ownership, it is going unoticed that this is happening
everyday.

This has been the way of the media since the 80's/when 1500 book & Magazine distributors were bought out and now there are 10 for books and 4 for magazines.

There is not a free press.

Ops4 God Bless America!

No date is necessary. Just glad you're on board. :-)

It was the night the Monica story broke on Drudge. It didn't happen overnight, but that's when it started. I was new to the net, but when I saw how the media was trying to spike the story, and then when I saw a reference to FR in a copy of Newsweek (I used to subscribe to it and Time), well, that as they say is history :) My biggest problem was that I was only getting my news from one place, a variety of sources but one place: the Left. Thanks to the net and my curiosity bump, since 1998 that's no longer been a problem.

Cheney is on rush NOW!

He is saying Clarke was out of the loop on most of this stuff.

[mewzilla]

He was out of the loop in 43's admin. Cheney suggested, though, that Clarke should be quizzed about what he did while counter-terrorism czar under Toon. Don't hold your breath waiting for ben Veniste, Gorelick, and Fielding to do that, though. That's NOT what they're there for.

News like this makes me more supportive of efforts to break up media monopolies.

I generally don't approve of attacks on "big business", but in the case of outfits like this, I tend to look at anti-trust actions as more of a defense than an attack.

Anyone remmember the end of the book, "Animal Farm", where the animals could not tell the pigs from the humans?

Sounds like todays Socialist elite.

[Alia]

You are right. And CBS is just beginning to reap the seeds they sowed so many years ago, through their partisanship.

CBS News = unethical journalism.

[Ciexyz]

I don't watch Fox News that often as it turns out, but when I do....

I'd recommend that you at least watch Hannity & Colmes at 9 PM EST to catch Sean Hannity's perspective, then branch out to catch other shows thruout the day, such as the evening news blocks from 6 PM to 8 PM. That's a step in the right direction that you're taking.

Excellent story. Thank you for sharing.

[Rockitz]

Nice resource.

I saw this following posted on another thread, which might be a nice addition. It's from left-wing PBS also.

Interview with Iraqi officer about terrorist training grounds

[SendShaqtoIraq]

"Someone must get the "courage" to watch Dan Rather this evening to see how he sluffs it off."

I will volunteer to do the dirty deed.

Great, please keep us updated. Thanks

Thanks Peach. I called CBS to register my complaint and got right through.

Another article on the subject here -- White House Rebuts Ex-Bush Adviser Claim --

"The White House, fuming over a former aide's charge that President Bush gave short-shrift attention to al-Qaida while obsessing over Saddam Hussein, branded the fighting-terrorism flap as "Dick Clarke's American Grandstand."

-snip-

"Bartlett said Clarke's memo to Rice in January 2001 discussed recommendations to improve security at U.S. sites overseas, not inside the United States. "Each one of these, while important, wouldn't have impacted 9/11," Bartlett said."
