Remember the Dems. motis operandi: It is the seriousness of the charge that matters. Lying and deceiving is just part of their character what little there is left.
Whatever happened to "Truth in Advertising"?
I work in Bloomington IN home of IU and a ridiulous leftwing local paper. Some idiot wrote the editor how Bush has a "secret plan" to draft "boys and girls" age 18-26 and how people should contact their congressmen to stop this outrage. I read the supposed "bills" s69 and hr 163 (I think these are the #'s) and found they are bills sponsored by Fritz Hollings and Charles Rangel, and they were introduced almost 2 years ago. I nearly had steam coming out of my ears! The "editor" of the paper could have taken literally 30 seconds to check this out before printing an obviously fraudulent attack on Bush, but no. What liberals say is unquestioningly believed.
Only applies to civilians. Politicians are exempt. You and I would go to jail if our widget ads were as deceitful.

"Truth in Advertising" doesn't matter to dems, or their MSM enablers. In fact, the entire "seriousness of the charge" theme doesn't matter either, at least not when it's the dems... And this goes back decades... The best example being Ted Kennedy and his little "accident." It seems to me that the "seriousness of the charge" of being involved in vehicular manslaughter or worse would be pretty serious, but then the MSM probably felt that the punnishment of not being electable was enough. And let's not forget the collusion on the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, where the dems agreed to "appear" to support finding out what happened in the September 11th investigations for as long as it supported their causes politically, then to turn up the heat on the republicans? And it was dutifully ignored by the MSM, with the exception that some laws might have been broken when the memo was leaked?
When CBS is able to get away with reporting things that are proven to be false beforehand, and doing so knowingly, we're looking at a very ugly situation, right out of Orwell's 1984. Something that's really scary though, is that the MSM isn't controlled by the government... It's controlled by the DNC and other leftist organizations which are attempting to mold the government into what they want.
I wonder how long before CBS changes its name to the "Ministry of Truth?"
