File under: Things that make you go, "Hmmm."
It's a long-established tradition of print journalism that when the next edition comes out, you change the headline. It makes the news seem fresh for those who've been reading earlier editions. I'm not saying that there's nothing at all sinister going on in the MSM (that would be nuts), but changes in headlines aren't the main place to look, IMO.
When mainstream media wants to cause outrage among the people by leading them around by the nose, the stories will keep repeating itself. Changes will be made in the headlines but it's basically "stay in your face until a response is forthcoming" type of mentality. DemoncRAT-controlled Washington Post has an agenda of going after conservatives that are making an impact upon the populace.
You find a "Postie" anywhere and they'll lie to you about anything. They are not people to be trusted at your cash-register or in charge of your children.
Something is going on here that I have a feeling is going to reveal itself in time. My guess is that the MSM and MO'M and cronies are going to have egg on their faces. Of course that will be buried very deep by the MSM and will have to find the light of day in the new media.
Seeing the neutered headline may not move people to see which site it is referring to.
Hmmmmm? indeed. Thanks! :)
Declaring war on us poor bloggers and freepers...amazing...
Did you tell WaPo that it also screws up our search engine so the story could be posted multiple times?? Much easier to be ignored if it is only posted once.
How dare they? They must answer for this.
They're still backpedaling and trying to tone things down. The story they ran the day before the one you mention was full of demonstrable lies. Moreover, it's likely that the Washington ComPost was complicit in a political dirty trick campaign engineered by the Mayor of Baltimore and his operatives.
The original story blamed the whole rumor on MDPAC, but this followup story starts talking about the real agent provocateur, who is either a Democrat agent or an employee of the Washington Post, or perhaps both working together as part of a conspiracy to damage the governor.
Presumably Jim Robinson has kept complete records of everthing on FR and has also got copies of the entire Post stories and these alterations made after the fact. Whole articles can't be posted here in the forum, but they can be saved to be used as legal evidence of complicity in fraud and slander, presumably.
I'm only guessing, of course, but there's no doubt that the Post seems to be running scared and pulling its punches after that first dishonest assault.
Sorry, gotta agree with the late edit. No credible assertion was made; there's no grounds for calling it a scandal. OTOH, they would never have corrected themselves is conservatives had objected to a headline.
Revisionists hit again.
guess the newspaper guys woke up to the fact that sooner, rather than later.......it going to be found out that MD4Bush may have been working with them....
And they will take a major hit...
