Kerry doomed, Fake docs and FR mention all on ABC's Notes.

ABC Notes ^ | 09-10-2004 | Various- ABC notes

[Smartaleck]

For those not familiar with the Note, it's sort of a synopsis of what various MSM are doing for the current day. Very informative and at time enlightening.....even if it is the MSM.

[hflynn]

The Clintons (Begala, carville, Lockhart, McAwful) are now in total control. Kerry is burn't toast. What a maroon.

[GOPJ]

It's time for real coverage of how the news is made. Here's some questions for CBS:

How large is Rather's staff? Does he take "research" from the DNC or their spin-off fronts?

Is his job to investigate, or to read though the stuff that's handed to him?

If he's "fed" the "news" is there an inherent bias to keep his handlers in power?

Is there a conflict of interest when the people who feed you the "news" are out of power and your take isn't as good? Is there an incentive to get "your guys" back in?

Does Rather have a dog in this fight? If the insiders who give him the "good stuff" are out of power, how "good" is the "stuff"? Rather still shills for dems, but people don't care as much because dems don't call the game. And Rather doesn't have insider Republicans to do his job for him....

If the DNC is doing Rather's work for him and for CBS, is CBS being paid by the DNC?

What is the is the coin of the realm for a one-sided "bribe" in the news field?

Our country was attacked and is at war, and this is the best that democrat's can come up with ?

Can you just imagine how the republicans would be

regarded if they had attacked FDR during WWII in

the same way the democrats attack Bush now ?

The islamofascists hate us all, democrats, republicans and independents.

[The G Man]

I'm pretty sure they're implying that buckhead's secret indentity is ... Karl Rove?

[FesterUSMC]

So now they are trying to say Bush smeared himself?

[bert]

"I told you so" GWB

[Amore]

So all the stuff not in bold was written in the "ABC Notes"?
How'd you get them?

[Snake65]

They must not spend a lot of time at FR if they think it's suspicious that we discuss news stories while they're going on. Didn't they check the 4000 + posts of the various campaign speeches?

[frog_jerk_2004]

Now NBC and ABC need to feast on their own (ABC) MSM. They need the ratings and I hope it turns out to be a feeding frenzy. A house divided (MSM) cannot stand.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Where would this story have gone without the FREEPERS?!?!

Congratulations to all involved!

[frog_jerk_2004]

Now NBC and ABC need to feast on their own (ABC) MSM

I meant their own (CBS)

[mabelkitty]

Burden of proof is on the Democrats and CBS.
They have to prove their charges.
They have yet to do so.

[mhking]

Kerry is DOOMED (DOOMED!)!

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[garyhope]

Did you mean "moron", "macaroon" or "marooned"?

Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe he's all 3.

Maybe he's a moron marooned on a desert island eating humble macaroons instead of pie. Or crow.

[Amore]

Oh, never mind, I see you used bold for emphasis and put your comment in parens. It just reads so oddly to me, I obviously have never seen such notes.

[Smartaleck]

Oh yeah....Rove without a doubt. LOL

G-Man of PT fame? If so, sure would like to see your room in rememberence of 911.....what a great time.

[VadeRetro]

I like the idea that CBS was taken in by Karl Rove but will protect him to the end by refusing to reveal their sources. (Karl Rove is known to be able to disguise himself as some guy named Ben Barnes when he so desires.)

[Smartaleck]

So all the stuff not in bold was written in the "ABC Notes"?

Pretty much. My smarty comments are in parenthesesessss.

[Mike Fieschko]

Here's part of how this story got here . . . from a little Marc Ambinder back-lurking on the blogs . . .

At 8:00 pm ET Wednesday night, CBS News does the story . . .

at 8:59 ET — before the broadcast is finished!!! — the documents come into question via a poster named Buckhead on the Free Republic Web site: LINK

Buckhead seems well-read on his forensic document examination skills.

ping

abcnews.com's the Note. Money on the next being the Maha Rushie?
