| [I wonder how many msm outlets will give this an airing.] Well, in the MSM the following appears in the second sentence of the first paragraph; In his syndicated column, Novak did not dispute that former CIA spokesman Bill Harlow told him he should not print the covert officer's name, Valerie Plame, during conversations they had prior to Novak's July 14, 2003 column. accurate, but misleading. You have go to the 11th paragraph and get past all the crud about who Valerie Plame is, why Rove should be persecuted, the valor of her husband etc., before you get to any mention of Novak saying Harlow's account is "so patently incorrect and so abuses my integrity as a journalist.'' (the guy is lying through his teeth) By then most readers will have given up on the story, and unless they read Novaks column in the Chicago-Sun-Times or the coverage by "Editor & Publisher", they will not have a clue of what Bob Novak was really writing about. |
