NBCNEWS: CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES VANISHED FROM SITE IN IRAQ BEFORE TROOPS ARRIVED...
The NYTIMES urgently reported on Monday in an apprent October Surprise: The Iraqi interim government and the U.N. nuclear agency have warned the United States that nearly 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives are now missing from one of Iraq's most sensitive former military installations.
[The source behind the NYT story first went to CBSNEWS' 60 MINUTES last Wednesday, but the beleaguered network wasn't able to get the piece on the air as fast as the newspaper could print. Executive producer Jeff Fager hoped to break the story during a high-impact election eve broadcast of 60 MINS on October 31.]

Well, they will have to lie to do it; we didn't know until sometime after October 15th.

Drudge makes up some ridiculous story, get's NBC embedded reporters to support it, and then CNN picks it up and blasts it on their main page:Dear God, we just cannot let those people rule this country!

60 minutes could not get it out fast enough for "The source behind the NYT story."
Okay, WHO IS THE SOURCE? Who begged NYT and CBS 60 Minutes to go with this FALSE story?

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING Perhaps we should all examine our portfolios and verify that we are divested of Viacom stocks.
CBS-MTV-Nickelodeon-Logo-Viacom have been a DNC house organ this past year.

so they now agree that Saddam had WMD's....I am getting confused.... It makes perfect sense to them, "they voted against it, before they voted for it". Same logic!

I suspect anything and everything reported as NEWS for the last half century from the MSM! You should. Agnew was right.

"I thank God for the alternative media that is out there now. Thank you Rush! Thank you Sean! Thank you Drudge! Thank you Laura! Thank you Savage!" And it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway:
Thank you Jim Robinson and family and Free Republic and all the dedicated FReepers and posters and the MOD SQUAD!.

Well, I wonder where that "appears to be politically motivated" came from?? (not that I don't LOVE it, mind you -- I was just so surprised somebody in MSM got "there" as fast as we did.)

I have heard it called a death rattle. In death, often there is this spasmotic breathing and physical shaking as someone passes. This is a political death rattle.
To: Howlin
In Nazi Germany, at first, the Nazi Party took away the right of other parties to be heard. They shouted down opposition with shrill lies. They tore down the campaign signs of opposing candidates, leaving only Hitler and his supporters. Then, after the election, they took over the courts and abolished the Weimar democratic government, imposing the will of a few hundred unelected judges and Nazi officials over the will of millions of Germans.

"Dan Rather's probably thanking his lucky stars that this clunker wasn't hung on him." Haha. Exactly what I though. He's probably thinking there is a God after all.

CNN might be well advised to expand on that "politically motivated" phrase. They say it is politically motivated, but from which side?
