From JIM MURPHY, executive producer, "CBS Evening News with Dan Rather": The entire staff of the "CBS Evening News with Dan Rather" was pretty miffed after reading Paul Krugman's column today that claimed not a SINGLE issues piece has aired on the big newscasts in the past two months. He must have missed the SIXTEEN different "issues" pieces we did over a four week period during that time, part of a series that will continue until the election. With the resources of the New York Times you would think that would be kind of difficult to miss. The Washington Post's media critic found the series so intriguing amid all the debate over campaign coverage he actually wrote an article about it. How can anyone take an editorialist's arguments seriously when he ignores some FACTS completely?

The truth of the claim doesn't matter. What matters is that he "raised awareness" of the issue. At least that's what leftists keep saying when they get caught making things up.

I read somewhere that Slate magazine was keeping a running tally of Krugman's blown economic predictions. I think that at this point he's pretty much been outed as angry partisan hack who starts with a conclusion and selects the evidence to fit it.

Krugmanfreude.
Krugman is a complete waste of oxygen, skin and hair and the food he inhales.

Krugman's a liar and Rather's a liar. Pretty funny that Rather calls Krugman a liar. I guess Krugman figured he could get away with it since people would easily pick up the irony of Rather accusing anyone of lying.

Too bad they can't be bothered to expose all of Krugman's Bush-bashing lies.
Oh, that's right, they LIKE those. It's only when their own ox is gored that they suddenly get all concerned about Krugman playing loose with the truth.

CBS News has the same problem. No, well, yes, but not on this issue.
They (Jim Murphy and CBS) are under the impression that the statement on the big newscasts still applies to Dan Blather.
To: RobRoy
Good advice.
My answer is more Steyn.
MARK STEYN RULES!
