Looks like the LA Times tried to pull a Dan Rather

“Facts” disappearing without a trace from LAT bombshell on Fred’s abortion lobbying.

[NoobRep]

You'd think these idiots would learn.

[Bon mots]

Shameless hit piece.

They know it worked for Bush. Just keep beating that drum. The ‘stupid’ label was already tried on for size last week too.

If we were talking about intelligent people I would say you are right. But we’re talking about shit for brains liberals with an agenda.

Can you imagine where this country would be today if liberals took all that energy they expended trying to discredit the President and his administration and actually put it to use constructively? They have squandered over six years of their worthless lives fanning the flames of hatred, pettiness, short sidedness and outright criminal stupidity.

Lets you know just how hard and what they are willing to do to push through Socialism in this country.

It’s just sad that a few people here picked it up and treated it like gospel. The left is skilled at the divide and conquer tactic and we are, all too often, willing to go along with it.

Liberal journalists produce hit pieces without anything to back them up and then they change the wording to fit their prejudices. And they wonder why the MSM keeps losing readers....

Here’s what one poster said:

Here’s everything you need to know about the LA Times’ “pro=life”/”antiabortion” wording policy:

TheMediaReport.com: “‘Pro-life’ unacceptable for LA Times opera review” (2004)

There is “a strict Times policy of banning the phrase ‘pro-life’ as offensive to people who support abortion.”

Well, I guess that pretty much proves that the LAT editors read this story and gave their input. Can’t blame it on a rogue writer.

[Petronski]

The WAnker retrenchment on this is going to be delicious to watch.

[ElkGroveDan]

Yes indeed. You heard it here first. On three now. Everyone needs to say aloud; "Dan you were right."

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I’m shocked at this revelation.Truley I am.

[Cicero]

The writer wonders why they changed their description of Fred from “pro-life” to “anti-abortion.”

That’s standard language for pro-abort media outlets. According to a recent article, the NY Times editorial stylebook actually insists that all reporters must use the terms “pro-choice” and “anti-abortion,” and probably the LA Times has similar rules.

So, what happened is that the reporter was careless, but a copy editor caught the “incorrect” usage (from a propaganda point of view) and corrected it to the standard left-wing duckspeak.

Let’s see if THE major purveyor (at this site) of this anti-Fred trash shows up to comment.

[Digger]

You'd think these idiots would learn.

I say I think us idiots would learn & riot the damned buildings with each & every lie the spew. I'm sick of every newspaper in the country, I'm sick of having to be in airports & listen to CNN, I'm sick of listening to the radio & every half hour here the slanted/liberal crapola & finally I'm sick of many of you calling FOX news a conservative network. It doesn't even make a RINO network. (OK, I'm done & I feel better)

[CA Conservative]

Actually, Dan, you heard the specifics of the lie concerning the "cowboy" role here first!

We Elk Grove boys are on the ball, right Dan?

[ElkGroveDan]

Good work. I missed that. I just know what a POS and Democrat operative so-called reporter Finnegan is, having dealt with him directly in the past.

If you ask me he’s a bit light in the loafers too.

[Lazamataz]

so-called reporter Finnegan is.... a bit light in the loafers too.

His boyfriend insists he's not.

[Krankor]

It’s breaking out all over

1991? What difference does that make?

In less time than that which passed between then and now I went from being indifferent (which almost terminated my engagement to my lovely wife) to making a hard, deliberate and emotionally costly decision for life in a situation of much uncertainty and assured pain, but...

She's almost an adult now. And well on her way to becoming an engineer. (Wherever did I go SO wrong??? :^)

I'd choose the same course again. (Well, maybe I'd dissuade her more from going into engineering, but then again her older sister didn't listen either... :^)
