[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Remember Scott Beauchamp? The soldier who wrote stories from the Middle East, about things like mocking a disfigured woman in a chow hall, running over a dog and wearing pieces of baby skull under helmets? The tales never rang true, but the editors of The New Republic ran with them like crack addicts looking for more baking soda. Now that TNR has posted a whinging, non-apology, Franklin Foer is your editorial man of the hour whose self-effacing pen is less mighty than his apparent ego. And that’s why there’s already a new movie out.

See source for lotsa kewl links.

I don't know about you naive hicks, but so-fiss-ti-kates like me and Mary Mapes find that when a source changes his story to account for inconsistencies and contradictory evidence, that just plain bolsters his credibility and furnishes further proof of the source's absolute troofiness and da man's determination to supress the TRUTH.

But for the internet this would have gone nowhere. The folks in the MSM have had a free ride for a long time. Ask Dan Rather. Now they actually have people who check their sources.

Dont’ think they like it. Much, much, harder to lie now.

That’s why protectors of Free Speech such a Hillary and the gang want to shut down internet groups such as Free Republic.
It exposes their games, and one thing the left hates more than anything is to have light shined on their activities.

Thanks, ‘nuther guddin. The source links to about a dozen “mutually cross linking” sites.
