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.
