Another transparent propaganda technique.
Talking about whether someone will be indicted, implies they have committed a crime and the only question is if they will be charged.
On local TV the other night,there was a story about a teacher who was arrested on the basis of a single accusation by a single witness, concerning an incident which occurred 2 years ago.
The newscaster said "Police are asking for other victims to come forward and report ....." Assumption is clearly the person is guilty of multiple cases of sex abuse.
What if the police said; "the wanted to talk to, any adult who may have been falsely accused by (teenagers Name), who is claiming he was molested.
I think the proper wording is something like "Police would like to speak with anyone with information about this case."

I think there is some lefty bimbo in the copy room at Luskin's law firm who is leaking stuff to Leopold and his ilk, but she doesn't know the truth and just wants her fellow "true believers" to still believe that Rove is going down.
What I can't believe is that morons like David Corn and Joe Wilson and Chris Matthews still think this damn case is important at all, with the CIA leaking REAL secrets like a freaking sieve.

NRO Corner - Byron York
I talked with Rove defense spokesman Mark Corallo, who told me the story was completely baseless. Part of our conversation:
Did Patrick Fitzgerald come to Patton Boggs for 15 hours Friday?
No.
Did he come to Patton Boggs for any period of time Friday?
No.
Did he meet anywhere else with Karl Rove's representatives?
No.
Did he communicate in any way with Karl Rove's representatives?
No.
Did he inform Rove or Rove's representatives that Rove had been indicted?
No.
So there seems to be nothing to the story, certainly nothing which any other reporter has seen fit to report. Which raises a question: What is going on here? The journalists who checked out the story, quite properly, did not repeat Leopold's bad information. But for some media blogger out there, it might be reasonable to ask: Where are these reports coming from?

Pukin, the only problem with your theory is that it assumes the MSM must be duped into reporting a false story. The MSM needs no help in discrediting itself. It does so completely of its own volition, and is very happy to leap before it looks on any story that might discredit the Bush administration. And why not? The Moonbats lap it right up, and lately it appears that even many "conservatives" believe what ever the media feeds them. No matter how many times the media proves itself un-credible.

No, no you missed it. (just like AF) The MSM will discredit the wacky-left blogs. Every major news organization spent the entire weekend trying to confirm the Rove story and failed. Everyone of them was hoping to run with the story this morning upon confirmed information. Chris Matthews was even joking about "the story I cant talk about yet".
That Leopold dude is going to want to crawl under a rock by the end of this week. Nobody is going to take his calls anymore, and sites like DU are headed for the scrap heap, along with Kerry, Gore and anyone else those fools support.

I have visited DU probably less than 10 times, ever.
I have yet to read fact-based post that presents a rational argument.
I guess my expectations are met at each visit to DU ;-)

Pukin, as usual the Navy is only focused on 400 feet of carrier deck, and missing the rest of war. The MSM hasn't even reported the story. So why do you believe they are going to try to discredit the wacky-left blogs? Now that the story has been exposed as another obvious lie, do you think they are going to report "Left Wing Blogs Report False Story about Rove"? Ha. If this had been a story from a Right Wing blog site its discrediting may have made the newswires. But since it was from the left, it will be quietly pushed under the carpet.

On a serious note. It really is a shame that people want someone indicted just because he is in the opposition party. Truth, facts, guilt or innocence are meaningless. We really are not that far from Cuba or other pseudo-democracies after all.

Okay Batman's brother, let me try this again?
I never said that the MSM would PUBLICLY discredit the wacky-left, only that they would discredit them. What I mean by that, is that they will be less likely to use them as sources describing the state of left-wing activism. They are more likely to dismiss the nuts as NUTS, and find sources (sources more friendly to Hillary) in their push-polling and agenda-based reporting.

The Leopold dude says that he will out his sources if the Rove has been indicted story turns out not to be true. And Larry Johnson still claims that Joe Wilson heard the same thing from sources other than Leopold.
I wouldn't doubt that the MSM will try to discredit Internet bloggers. It's not like they haven't tried before.

lol. You're just jealous you didn't think of it first.
"What I mean by that, is that they will be less likely to use them as sources describing the state of left-wing activism."
The MSM is a left wing blog. They are one and the same. They can't ignore the Moonbat fruitcakes anymore than you can ignore your right arm. What depresses me, is that more and more the same can be said of the libertarian, anti-Bush crowd that frequent sites like this. I guess whackos are whackos.
