Siren wailing at Drudge!
I don't see this to be this big a deal. I wonder if Drudge is trying to sucker in the media.
1. Release borderline email showing purported media bias at ABC.
2 Get all the right wingers to go on a witch hunt.
3. ABC will defend it as being his own personal opinion of what Bush was doing at the time.
4. Drudge comes back with another email.
5. Repeat
5. ????
6. Profit
Hey, the idiot sent it via wireless on his Blackberry. He should actually be fired for risking his data network security.
Drudge says more developing so there might be more Hate Bush e-mails posted later.
Well then puke me a rainbow!
I can see it now, Kermit the Frog singing "It's Not Easy Being Green!"
Not exactly a new communication, is it?
I agree with ya, but I think they'll be more to this. At least I hope so because we might look very foolish if the people on the right run to hard with it.
It is not a matter of the date, but the fact that once again the bias shows through the producers that create the shows.
At least with ABC you don't get "mixed-messages."
It's ALWAYS one-sided, ALL the time!
Hi John,
Just checking in to see if you still hate Bush. Please advise... I got a meeting with Karl Rove tomorrow and he demands hearing good news immediately. Thanks!
Warmest Regards,

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print.
The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth: to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks; they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."- John Swinton, highly respected former Chief of Staff for the New York Times, at the New York Press Club, 1953. when asked to give a simple toast before the New York Press Club, stunned a roomful of admiring peers into total silence with the preceding remarks (as reported in the January, 1993 issue of The National Educator, and also quoted in the book "Pure Sociology" by Professor Lester T. Ward)
