CBS Finally Runs the Bosnia Story; Hillary Forced To Admit She Lied Once Again
Beacon Street Journal ^ | 3/25/2008 | John Kinsellagh

Posted on 03/25/2008 11:42:44 AM PDT by beacon street bandit

Yesterday, CBS finally ran the Hillary "I dodged sniper fire in Bosnia" story. Yes, this is the same network which tried to throw a presidential election with the Dan Rather "fake but accurate" report.

Although the story has been kicking around the blogosphere for the past two weeks, what does the entire incident tell us about, Hillary, her campaign and the mainstream media?

Once again, the mainstream media, in this case CBS, followed rather than broke the story. Various blogs had already pointed out the latest whopper on the part of Hillary, yet CBS just aired the damning videotape. In this sense it is clear that the media was merely reacting instead of being proactive. Although some have explained this as media prudence in light of the fact that candidates won't give interviews if they feel a network has been negative in their reporting, I believe, in the end, CBS ran the story because they were forced by the blogosphere to run the story.

In light of the overwhelming and irrefutable evidence of Hillary's falsehood, they would have become irrelevant as a news organization and by their omission, would have clearly demonstrated their liberal/Democratic Party bias. It is one thing to bury stories unfavorable to the Clintons when they were in the White House; such a course of action was perfectly legitimate since it only harmed Republicans. But, when Hillary's mendacity, prevarication and

Hillary doesn’t lie, she just tells the truth from an alternate reality.

Oops, she did it again! When living a fabricated life it must be really difficult remembering what is real.

You realize, of course, that this is an intolerable situtation. The blogosphere is dangerous and will have to be rigorously controlled by new legislation. Politicians know how to manipulate the "old" media but this blogosphere thing could cause them some real problems.

They would not have run it at all but for the fact that Obama needed the help.

In some of the reports I have read, her campaign states that this was 10 to 15 years ago and she could be mistaken due to the passing of time. Funny.....she sure can recount her “experience” from years ago (of course, she has no experience, so that is also a big lie).

Those who vote for Hillary don't care if she lies, and those who vote for Obama don't care if he's a racist bigot. What really matters is making sure those that love one won't vote for the other.

Well, at least until she gets the nomination, which I still wouldn't put past her...

She didn’t lie....she misspoke.

She really meant to remember something OTHER than running from a plane under sniper fire.

I can only imagine where we would be politically if the MSM were so eager to do their jobs by reporting the news - telling us all the news - rather than promoting an agenda. If all politicians were noted in their lies they would be less inclined to be so blatant about lying to us and maybe more inclined to be honest. Instead, because of the promotion of the liberal agenda by the MSM, we end up with crooks and liers in the highest offices.
Hillary has not done anything different with her latest tale. Yet, the MSM is again campaigning for their candidate - Osama - and Hillary is being reported as she should have been all along and Osama is being promoted. We cannot expect to see equal coverage amongst the three candidates. Osama will always be elevated above the rest.

She has nothing to worry about. The media will promptly forget this and all her other lies.

You can’t misspeak on tape.

She said they ran to their cars. The tape showed them all walking casually.

She said the greeting ceremony had to be cancelled. The tape SHOWED a greeting ceremony.

The other tape I saw this morning said they had to take the greeting ceremony INDOORS. Sure looked outdoors to me.

She LIED, LIED, LIED, LIED. Then she lies on top of it all. Yeah, that’s JUST what we need for President. The smartest woman in the world who LIES as easy as she does.
