[Presbyterian Reporter]

Surprise, surprise!!!!!

The Mainstream Media (MSM) once again promotes a fabrication by one of its members in their crusade to tear down McCain.

I am not holding my breath waiting to read or hear a correction and apology by MSM.

It was only four years ago that CBS’ Dan Rather who promoted the “false, but I believed it true” letter intended to derail GW Bush.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Fake but accurate ?

[Tarpon]

And the single drive by journalist who wrote the story ...

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Everyone knows the Secret Service are Republican plants, are on the payroll of big oil, and moonlight as union busters on their days off. The checks come from offshore subsidiaries of Halliburton or Blackwater or Kellogg, Brown, Root and go to Swiss bank accounts but are denominated in yen. Any time they are not protecting the president or Chelsea Clinton, they go out and destroy solar cells and make moonshine liquor from ethanol plants so the Treasury department can run stings on illicit stills.

Really? A phony, fabricated story about dangerous mobs of Republican racists?

But the New York Times said it was true. Olbermann said it was true.

They wouldn't lie. They don't have an anti-American, hate-spewing agenda.

And even if no one really said “kill him” we know, deep in our smug little hearts filled with truth and goodness, that all those evil Republicans were thinking it. So, we're fully justified in saying it.

But HUSSIEN said it, so it must be true. There’s no way it can be a lie. [/s]

The worst thing about it is that the MSM will not have to appoligize. They’ll say they were simply reporting on the newsworthiness of the opinions of some random people (e.g., that civil rights “icon,” whatever his name is). That’s why reporters always use the phrase, “Some say...” or, “According to...”

[RogerWilko]

That's funny... I see stories all over the DUmmiesphere about someone yelling "kill him" and not a ONE story about it being falsely reported!

That's very peculiar... NOT!!

[A.A. Cunningham]

Surprise, surprise!!!!!

Not a surprise at all.

[Dr_Zinj]

If true, that paper should probably fire him for gravely unethical behavior and the news industry should black ball him for life.

Sickness.

Jim Lehrer (Disgraced PBS, Democrat): "At PBS, we follow DNC scripting to ignore that the top Palin Troopergate Investigator was a Phony Marine
and to ignore that Obama's Odinga atrocities in Kenya that left thousands murdered and raped,
and that David Singleton and the Scranton Times-Tribune conspired a fake story disproven by the Secret Service.
But then, we ignore own financial entanglements, don't we? Speaking of which,
how many of Gwen Ifill's book on Obama's upcoming January 2009 Coronation-Inauguration would you like?"

The original story is here:

Note that Singleton hears “Kill him” during Chris Hackett’s remarks at about 1:25pm, and Gov Palin doesn’t arrive until 1:56pm. Even if the shouted remark had happened, she wouldn’t have heard it.

But it didn’t happen.

The FBI ought to ask the reporter whom he heard yell “Kill him!” in response to Obama’s name being said. They should videotape his response. Then they should arrest him for making a false claim of a crime that must be investigated. It would serve that sonuvab1tch to do some hard time in a federal prison with a target painted on the seat of his pants.
