They lie. Did the NY Times rehire Jayson Blair?
The original post on FR, not by NCPAC, simply was asking people to figure out what the truth was. Many, if not, most replies debunked, cast doubt upon, or did not lend credence to the rumors.
The media now has NCPAC feeding the rumor, but the facts of the Post story do NOT support that conclusion. Instead, NCPAC commented on the rumor and said that a lot of effort was made to float the story.
That effort to float the story could easily have been from Dem opponents of O'Malley or corporate lobbyists with non-ideological non-party reasons for opposing O'Malley.
NCPAC even praised a prior post that shredded the credibility of the rumor.
You can read the original thread itself by clicking here, but below are two posts that made it crystal-clear that NCPAC was NOT feeding the rumors. Otherwise, why would he praise velmacruther's highly skeptical post?
To: ElkiejgThis rumor has been around for over three years ... and the identities of the anchorwoman (and the affiliate) AND the alleged father change every few months. At least seven anchorwomen in Baltimore have supposedly had the mayor's kids, or a police commissioner's kid, or a local professional athlete's kids ... too bad "The X Files" was cancelled ... Spooky Mulder was probably the only one who'd pay any attention ...

Nice first post.
Not just him. I've caught Fox Butterfield and Nicholas Kristof in bald faced lies on gun issues.
