N.Y. Times, CBS & Terrorist 'Conspiring' With Kerry to Defeat Bush

we need to be accurate!

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Will the last one out of the Old Media please turn off the lights?

[ArmyBratCutie]

>>>Thanks to their media collaborators, and President Bush's wimpy refusal to denounce the Times and "60 Minutes" and Kerry and John Edwards, the stunt could succeed. <<<

I agree....Pres Bush should be out there HOLLERING that this is a lie... everyone in his CAMPAIGN should be on TV HOLLERING this is a lie and call The NY TIMES and CBS what they are .. LIARS......

It looks like all these wafflers like O'Reilly and Kristol (and others), are coming out of there Halloween costumes the final week and finally speaking what they believe instead of towing the Fox News line.

"No weapon formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that rises against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. For this is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord for their righteousness is of Me." Isa 54:17

Everyone claim this for Bush until the election is over.

Good Morning,

"That minor issue hasn't kept the Kerry campaign from creating a television ad based on what may well be untruthful claims. ...

I wrote and complained, just to see what would happen. Here is the reply below.

Although the FCC licenses broadcast stations, we have virtually no control over the content of what they broadcast. That's because of the First Amendment's freedom of expression and the no-censorship provision of the Communications Act. Thus, we cannot tell stations what to air and what not to air. (A notable exception to that is obscenity and indecency, because the U.S. Supreme Court has held that obscenity is not protected speech under the First Amendment.) Consequently, in most cases, it is within the station's discretion to determine what it will air. A key exception to that is candidate advertisements. Section 315 of the Communications Act prohibits stations from censoring the content of candidate-provided programming. Therefore, both the FCC and the stations are without power to censor the content of candidates' advertising - even if the information included is false. Moreover, stations are forbidden from adding a disclaimer advising viewers of the falsity of such an ad.

Sincerely,
Mark Berlin
Policy Division (political office)

Cbs and the NY SLIME should be shut down and the doors locked or register as part of the dnc.

Kristol has the 'wimpy' part right

[eyespysomething]

Didn't he mention the 'wrongness' of leveling such untruths, or at least unknown truths against a sitting President? I was in and out of TV range, and thought I heard that.

[Quilla]

I watched the first segment of Kristol's appearance on F&F this morning. ED (Established Democrat) attempted to brush off Kristol's observations of collusion as a typical political ploy. I was spittin' nails.

CBS has no credibility...they can't even keep their own stories straight...

Well ... since the mod pulled that cool thread, I am reposting the cop pic here, using another web host. Can you see this?

This all started with an IAEA tip. But about them:

Duelfer also said U.N. weapons inspectors recommended in 1995 that the high explosives be destroyed because of their potential use in a nuclear weapons program.

The International Atomic Energy Agency instead ordered the explosives stored in sealed bunkers 30 miles south of the Iraqi capital. The last time the IAEA verified that the bunkers were still sealed was in March of last year, about a month before the first U.S. troops moved into the complex as they pushed toward Baghdad.

you know, fighting about what Pres Bush SHOULD or SHOULDNT do, on here, is doing nothing .. THEY NEED to do something.... Im surrendering on this CBS / NY TImes mess....its overwhelming ..

[bahblahbah]

Cheney needs to go unhinged on this story. This has to remain in the news for the next few days and the conservative commentators needs to keep making the point that this was just an October Suprise coming from the UN to hurt Bush.

I watched Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai again. The themes of honor, courage, and basic human decency resonate as never before now when the once honorable Free Press, long the protector of representative government and guardian of truth, has sunk to previously unimaginable depths of immorality, dishonor, depravity, distortion, disinformation, depravity, lying, and corruption and has degenerated into nothing more than a ruthless propaganda machine.

He is speaking in front of 70,000 Michiganders today, ya think the subject may come up?? Please, Kristol go change your depends and grow some stones. This is a hanging curveball in the bottom of the 9th with bases loaded!

Pray for W and Our Troops

"That minor issue hasn't kept the Kerry campaign from creating a television ad based on what may well be untruthful claims. ... Shouldn't he at least make sure that such a charge is true?"

Five will get you ten that that ad has been sitting in the can ready to go for a month!
