RATHER: "Welcome, comrade Cauley..."

Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before...

First, she's donated the maximum amount legally allowed ($2,000) to Dick Gephardt's campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination in the 2004 election cycle.

Second, she's on TV crowing about the her confidential, unnamed sources.

And finally, the USAToday is pushing the "they didn't object" angle as a confirmation of their story. We all remember how well that worked out for CBS's John Roberts.

Wow. I had forgotten all about Dick Gephardt.

[Cicero]

Millions of people saw the USA Today headline on newstands all over the country. How many people will see NewsBusters?

That's the basic secret of how the MSM gets away it. They are gradually undermining their credibility, and their bottom lines are eroding, but it's a slow process. Meantime they still control the propaganda war.

Another RatherGate was my thoughts exactly.

With the phone companies demanding a retraction . . . .

I thought it was only BellSouth? Are the others as well?

When I first heard the phone company story (that listed specific companies) I thought that it was cheese planted to catch another Mary McCarthy type in the intelligence community.

Everything that has happened since seems to confirm that hypothesis.

It seems there is a new "leak" almost every day--and the stories often refer to "reliable sources" and "intelligence sources".

Hopefully most of these are planted phony stories that are snaring more of the bad guys in the intelligence community.

Did ANY telecommunications company give ANY information to the NSA ANYWHERE at ANYTIME?...............it seems that they didn't ...........

Go tell it to Abe Lincolns ghost.

He knew what to do when his domestic political enemies threatened the union.

FDR knew what to do as well.

This President is clueless.

The enemy understands that W has screwed the pooch.

He has allowed leftists at home and abroad to win the propaganda war.

The administration hasn't even waged a credible domestic propaganda campaign to drum up support for the WOT.

It's basically incompetence.

The enemy has a strategy and a gameplan.

Our game plan depends on who is in the White House in 2008.

McInsane?

Shrillary?

Jon Queri?

Giuliani?

Be very afraid.

Bump

[FlingWingFlyer]

Does USAToady still fill it's pages with all those colorful, bright and shiny pie charts and graphs? Idiots like colorful, bright and shiny things. Text is hard. Graphics are cool. Especially if you're a Liberal.

she gave $2,000 to Gephardt on June 30, 2003, when Gephardt was running for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Cauley fits right into the noble tradition of Jayson Blair, Dan Blather, Mary Mapes, Jason Leopold, Jennifer Loven, Dana Priest, and friends...... all leftists with an agenda, facts be damned. They should all be driven straight out of journalism, but so far as I'm aware only Jayson Blair has met with any lasting obstacles (and he still manage to publish a book about his fraudlent life).

bttt

[Cementjungle]

I see nothing wrong with reporters supporting candidates of their choice (on their time) just like any other citizen. I do see a problem however with reporters/newspapers printing fabrications and calling it real news. But then again I have come to expect that from much of our beloved MSM.

[Grampa Dave]

Maybe Leslie Cauley should stick to writing and glorifying the gay agendas in America.

I'm beginning to think this story was designed to catch a leaker - much like the CIA "secret prisons" story.

And guess who just resigned?
