You rock backhoe. Next time I get down your way the fishing's on me.
What strikes me, is that many of them are heavily invested in Internet outlets. They have discussion boards, chat rooms and everything they are criticizing!
Kinda contorted logic.
BALTIMORE SUN HAS PROVED ITS OWN LIBERAL BIAS-
"Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry was having an affair. But when the mainstream media began chasing that story, it proved groundless."
--There were several sources out there stating that they knew about the affair. Mainstream media did not chase the story. They only stated what Kerry and the Girl stated.
"Rumors of O'Malley's alleged infidelity have long circulated in Baltimore but were not printed in such daily newspapers as The Sun or The Washington Post. "
--Why has the Baltimore Sun and the Washington Post refused to look into the "rumors". Shouldn't they post accountings of their investigative reporting and research on the issue....
BUMP
Thanks for your efforts.
Bookmarked.
Thanks for the recap. The longer the suspense, the greater the fall!
The light is always on for you.
snip... On a separate note, O'Malley was caught up in this very unpleasant story involving a conservative activist/aide to Maryland Gov. Bob Ehrlich who apparently spread rumors of infidelity by O'Malley in e-mails and on FreeRepublic.com, where other posters were engaging in speculation about O'Malley's private affairs. Gov. Ehrlich deserves credit for immediately firing the rumor-mongerer (who posts on FreeRepublic today here). Some GOP insiders are complaining about the timing of the story and seem to be justifying the rumor-spreading on the Internet by noting that the rumors have been floating around the capitol for a while. That doesn't make the whisper campaign right. I feel very badly for O'Malley's wife and kids, who reportedly have had to face these ugly rumors at school. O'Malley's to blame, his critics will say. Maybe so, but it's the O'Malley family's own damned business, and no one else's.
-----------------
And just to show just how much of a desirable place Dublin is for musicians The Mayor of Baltimore - the much tipped future President of The USA (yes you heard it here first), Martin O'Malley brought his bulging biceps and rockin' tunes to Eamon Dorans to show there is still some soul in politics... Good Man yerself!
Lawyer Martin O'Malley, Balitmore's youngest ever Mayor, also leads O'Malley's March, an Irish folk rock band which has played in town pubs for the last 12 years.
Thanks!
marking for reference
Thanks for bring this all together, backhoe!
Kinda looks like AlGore on Bowflex, doesn't it?
Quilla, you raise a point that has occurred to me many times in reading and linking the stuff we uncover here- we do get to the truth, but sometimes it's hard to find it buried among all the replies. I'm not sure what the solution is to that.
LOL! That's cute!
Twice in two or three days Howie Kurtz has had a column LOADED with snarkiness about the "blogosphere."
In the Blogosphere, Lightning Strikes Thrice"
is one and there is another one about Eason Jordan that I can't locate right now.
In the one I can't located, he actually said that the story would have "fizzled out" if not for the internet, implying it was driven needlessly farther than it needed to be.
It's sounding more and more like Howie's beginning to get the picture that WE don't need HIM to tell us what's "what" with the press anymore.
It's only going to get more frantic with these people are they realize how irrelevant they are becoming.
His show today should be really interesting.
