I love all of the variations on a theme.
That's very clever. ;o)

pwn3d is a twisting of "owned," but spelled wrong in order to look "kewl." :)

OK. Thanks. But how is it pronounced?

[RobbyS]

Buckhead: Or Jacksonian democracy rules again!

[Constantine XIII]

It isn't, ususally. :)

Most people just say owned, but even then it is a beacon to others that "this guy/girl plays too many video games."

[Bigg Red]

too many video games."

LOL

Thanks for the info for a low tech old lady with a fascination for esoterica.

I was lurking the night all of this happened. At first I thought it would be really nice if they proved these documents were forged, and withing a few hours of reading and playing with word, I could do the same thing they had done.
Lady, you got busted.
The standard is that you have to use original documents and have then authenticated. You did neither, you have no credibility and the documents were created on word. They were forged!!!!! Just because you keep talking and won't admit you're wrong does not mean your right, it just means that you can not be honest with yourself or anyone else in this matter. You have Gone past the point of being mistaken and are firmly entrenched in being a "LIAR."

Well, my friend, I think you have just described about 85% of the so-called journalists in this country today.

I started off my 'career' with selectrics and still love them. Then we went to the memorywriter and daisy wheels, then IBM's, Gateways, and Apple PC. It's back to IBM's at the university now. They just keep getting better, but the selecrics were my favorites. Sigh. Glad we have FReepers who are awake and don't believe the newsmedia. Hooray, Buckhead.

I just wonder how poor Buckhead lives with the thousands of pings (like this one). Do you even try to keep up when you see the red "New Posts to You"?

You're a legend, Buckhead, and thanks for getting this out kristinn!

Press (now: "The Media") took unrestrained glee in the downfall of a President whose policies they detested.

Acute observations all. I also remember after Reagan was shot the Media gave hourly death watch reports with breathless anticipation. Like they were hoping he would die. It turned my stomach.

Thanks for the post, Buckhead. This is information you've explained before, but the MSM needs to hear it many, many times before they will ever repeat it.

Buckhead, just thought you'd like to know you'll be famous in Japan, too! I'm doing an inteview with NHK Tv in Japan. They wanted to know about Rathergate. So I told them the story. Things are hopping here at CPAC. Hope you're doing well.

Back sometime in the 90’s Dan Rather attended a conference on journalism and one of the speakers was Larry Ellison from Oracle. Larry’s talk was on how we get our news and he said in the future we would use the internet and get our news from multiple sources, evaluate it and come to our own conclusions. It would relegate network news to just another source. After the talk Dan confronted Larry and stated, “We determine what’s news and what’s not!” Says it all. Buckhead’s observation based on life experiences hastened the demise of arrogant network news control, and demonstrated the value of the internet.

Thanks-for-the memories BUMP. I was on the thread that night and was grateful to have been there when history was made.

Note: this topic is from November 21, 2005. Just another blast from the past -- in the runup to the 2010 election, we should expect to see more of the same from CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, C-Span, and audio support from NPR.
