“Taken out of Breaking, out of the sidebar and buried.
We really are our own worst enemies. Unbelievable.”
Why is this unbelievable? Again, no report has come out. This little blurb has been on the JP since April 7th. Nothing new here....hence...not breaking news.
From the backlash I am seeing on the thread, it seems this article has been posted at least three times since April 7. This is the first time I saw it posted, but for those who have seen it over and over (not necessarily those pinged here), I offer no apologies for not understanding why this story, or its source, doesn’t seem to be taken seriously.
It’s unbelievable because it never appeared in Breaking. Then, it finally does and starts generating some interest and discussion, and it’s killed in minutes.
I don’t care if it’s three days old. It was never in Breaking News here, which is where the vast majority of traffic goes. If it was a blurb about a joint US/Israeli report saying Saddam had no WMD, you’d better believe ABDCBCNBCCNNMSNBC and the NYT would be leading with it using selective leaked talking points every day until the report came out.
If we were smart, we’d keep the story in the forefront until the report came out and this thread would have a couple thousand posts by then. We would be generating the interest in the report. We would be making sure it isn’t DOA when it comes out. Our entire problem is we don’t confront the left’s lies, because we don’t know how.
