BUMP. Too bad Ivan and 9/11 are helping the Lame Stream Media to bury this story.
BUMP. Too bad Ivan, CBS and 9/11 are helping the Lame Stream Media to bury this story.
The voicemail boxes are full, but I sent them an email.
I also donated some more money to the swifties.
After the 2002 election, I wrote, “Remind me never to complain about ‘liberal media bias’ again. Right now, liberal media bias is conspiring to assist the Democrats to sleepwalk over the cliff.”
Just damn, I mean just damn. This man Steyn is a magnificant jewel who deserves the highest recognition and acclaims.
Shiite, I digress, he is not liberal, so henceforth the "real" jounalists say blah, blah, blah, blah, and then some more egotistical, blah, blah, blah.
I don't expect him to resign, or quit the race, but I hope that his negative coattails cause the Democrats to lose big time in Congress. It almost goes without saying that he will not be elected president.
Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful
He's done it again!!!
"The standard of clear and convincing evidence," he said, talking to Swiftvet John O'Neill as if he were a backward fourth-grader, ''is what keeps this story in the tabloids -- because it does not meet basic standards.''OWNED. Absolutely. Frickin'. PWN3D.
Last week, we got a good idea of what Thomas Oliphant's ''basic standards'' are.
BUMP!
"This should be enough to put a LOT of heat on CBS if you're willing to do the work. "
I'm wondering if this is actionable from a legal standpoint.
It's my sense that CBS affiliates may be subject to stiff fines for violating FCC regulations prohibiting false or deceptive radio transmissions. We need to encourage our congress critters to raise a clamor calling for proper enforcement of FCC regulations in this matter. This is way more serious than JJ's wardrobe malfunction.
Also I think that each member of the electorate has cause against CBS and ViaComm for the attempted fraud and election tampering that the Sixty Minutes show was.
Freedom of speech allows people to tell lies to advance their politics but the electronic media is held to a higher standard. Broadcasters are licensed to operate "in the public interest" using the public resource of the RF spectrum.
Man what a happy time.
Home run excepting he missed that the first pitch came from FreeRepublic.
Get on Pokey78's Steyn ping list. You won't regret it. I have been a dedicated Steynophile for a few years now.
Do we know for a fact that the document came from the Kerry campaign, as the title of the column suggests? Do you know where I can get confirmation on that?
No one in the media will admit that publicly, but I imagine they are quietly furious about this screw up. The incompetence of the forgers exposed the partisan media pretty glaringly.
Thank you. (Think they'll figure I'm part of the VRWC?)

Re: Killian Memos
I haven’t watched CBS in years, but I have found a list of its advertisers (yes, every show). There’s not a single product or service represented that I can’t live without; so they’re going on a card that will be placed in my wallet (and, yes, I may need my trusty magnifying glass to read them) to remind me when I’m shopping. I’m producing copies of this card for my very large Irish Catholic family and all my friends. Several products have remained on my no-buy list for over 40 years; e.g., ALCOA (they sponsored Edward R. Murrow during the years he slandered Joe McCarthy), Kelloggs (they contributed to Planned Parenthood); Calvin Klein, Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, et al, need no elucidation.
That CBS spent a purported six weeks to “study,” “analyze,” “criticise” the late Lt. Col. Killian’s private memos and decided to “run with it” proves beyond the most generous arguments that CBS is actively campaigning for a Democrat–and not just any Democrat, a Democrat who, by any reasoned reading of his 1971 testimony to the Senate, betrayed his comrades and his country, admitted that at least one of his Purple Hearts was deceitfully gained, lied to the Congress while a Senator (as recorded on numerous occasions in the Congressional Record), and managed to find the time to vote, as a “believing” Roman Catholic, for the legality of the most barbaric medical procedure in history. Not to mention that in six weeks, no one at CBS considered in even the vaguest terms that it might be slandering a dead military officer and causing untold pain to his family and former associates. If this be journalism, I’ll take “My Pet Goat.”
Suffice it to say that it’s far from surprising to learn that an organization unable to spot a hypocrite of John F. Kerry’s proportions is unlikely to spot a forgery. You have, however, provided the answer to a much debated question: we now know what the F stands for.
Sincerely,
I don't think we know that, but this little operation is classic Carville and Begala, who, by coincidence, were just hired to fight Bush more aggressively after the Swift Vet debacle.
I know you know that and were looking for factual verification, but I can't resist pointing out the giant donkey in the room!
What is hilarious is that the same producer for Wednesday night's broadcast was the same one from the Abu Ghraib picture scandal (which broke on the first day of the Swift Boat press conference.)
Coincidence?
I'm wondering if contacting CBS is the wrong approach. I think we should contact the other MSM outlets to cover this story instead. If only CBS hears about it, then they will simply ignore the complaints, and the issue will go away.
If however, CNN, NBC, ABC, (the axis of MSM evil) start to eat their own, then this story will have legs.
Thanks. You're right on the money.
