BOMB-GATE [Cliff May]
Sent to me by a source in the government:
“The Iraqi explosives story is a fraud. These weapons were not there when US troops went to this site in 2003. The IAEA and its head, the anti-American Mohammed El Baradei, leaked a false letter on this issue to the media to embarrass the Bush administration. The US is trying to deny El Baradei a second term and we have been on his case for missing the Libyan nuclear weapons program and for weakness on the Iranian nuclear weapons program.”
(For the record, I don’t reveal my sources so if that means I end up sharing a cell at Sing-sing with Judy Miller, so be it.) Posted at 10:00 AM
I think we need a contest to determine which news organization lies the most.
Let me see,
NYTimes or CBS?
Jennings or Matthews?
Decisions decisions
Former Ambassador Ginsberg (just on Fox) has gone over to the darkside! He is mouthing Kerry talking points! What a disappointment!
Well I read your response with its big red type and caps and understand your urgency. Don't know about the rest of you, but I've spent months biting fingernails and fretting about Dem vote fraud and the media bias.
But now we have THE WHOLE WORLD working against Bush what with this leak and The London Guardian's assassination suggestions.
The problem is the President can't do as you suggest. Though I often wish he would.
If Bush did as you suggest he would be skewered and hung out to dry. I'm supposing it's only this forum, the New Media so to speak, that can keep getting this message out.
It's not so much the NYT is biased, that group of horrid metrosexuals that envisions itself as the benchmark of international wisdom. It's that these Old Media outlets are still PERCEIVED by the vast majority of Americans as the last word on what is going on in the world.
The solution is have these Old Media outlets HAVE to fairly present their bias, right up front and first thing.
Thus CBS would have to proceed their 60 Minute hit pieces with a blurb "Attention, this presentation is a left wing hit piece". Or the NYT should have a blurb in their masthead "The New York Times, giving you the left wing International aspect of the news".
Have you ever noticed that magazines often have full page inserts that don't quite look like the advertisements they are? But at the very top of the page there is the word "advertisement" written repeatedly. This is because there is a law covering this that the public not be deceived.
Thus should be the Old Media, yea even the New Media except most know where FreeRepublic or Rush Limbaugh is coming from.
It's the PERCEPTION that such as CBS and NYT are fair and balanced purveyers of news that must be changed.
Sign at the NY Slimes and all MSM should read:
We will lie about anything, anytime, anywhere, to get George W. Bush
I totally agree. If slime ball Kerry gets in we will hear nothing more about the Oil for Food mismanaged program.
Very interesting. If that's your site or you monitor it,
I'd be interested in seeing the answers when they are up.
Will your source or anybody else reveal this forgery to the MSM in the near future?
Heh Heh! Yo, Kerry! How long is going to take you to realize that the Clinton gang is doing a number on you?
The collapse of the main stream media is beginning to look like the collapse of the Soviet bloc. Like the fall of the Berlin wall, the angry crowd is hammering away at the obvious lies and distortions the MSM propagates.
the news that Al Baraideh and IAEA are in on the Bush-bashing leads to one inescapable conclusion:
BUSH Absolutely HAS TO WIN.
For him to lose because of this kind of MSM malfeasance would be a disgusting miscarriage of truth and justice.
For us to let kerry hand our sovereignty over to the corrupt, lying, UN ... I shudder to think of the consequences.
Ginsberg is, always was, and always will be, a mouthpiece for the left. He hasn't "gone over" to the dark side, he has long ago embraced it, and become one with it.
You never see Waxman and this guy in the same room at the same time. Yet they are both annoying buttheads out to harm the cause of freedom .... hmmmmmm. separated at birth?
Very good!
Drudge now reporting...
News of missing explosives in Iraq -- first reported in April 2003 -- was being resurrected for a 60 MINUTES election eve broadcast designed to knock the Bush administration into a crises mode...
Is there a setting on my V chip equipped television that will allow me to block out sites like the news shows from CBSNBCABCCNN??
Possibly an "unadulterated partisan BS" category?
This all fits with Rush's ages old warning that the McCain Feingold Campaign "reform" bill would unfairly give unrestricted control of the election news to the networks.
Once again, Rush is Right!
OK, Fishtalk, you've got to help a FReeper out here. I've been listening to Rush since 1993, and I still don't know what the Snerdly scoop is. At first (in the olden days), I heard he was a real person, a screener for Rush, who also had his own radio talk show. But recently I heard Rush say he's not real, just an imaginary guy whom he used to voice different opinions, that he'd then rebut, or agree with. So, what's the deal?
When Hell Freezes Over!!
You almost might enjoy that bit about the horse semen. ;)
