THIS WHOLE ISSUE ABOUT THE "TAPE" CLEARLY COMES FROM THE TV STATION NEWS DIRECTORS NOT SO CLEAR STATEMENT TO WND.

Perhaps Mr. McGuire, AN OBVIOUS LURKER, should look into Conti's misleading QUOTE which started all this....not right wing internet sites.

Good catch! Did you e-mail him on his error?

[KantianBurke]

"That so many people would think a television outlet would sit on an explosive exclusive to protect an anti-war activist"

cough cough...Lisa Meyers....cough...interview w/ Ms. Broadrick...cough...held up for months...

It might be better if it came from elsewhere as he used my quote in the article. BTW, WNYT is an extremist Left-Wing affiliate and most everyone who is aware knows it.

[OldFriend]

And who would have thought that Larry Flynt was a right winger looking into the private lives of others...........evidently this ox belongs to the left and ought not be gored.

"Since we don't really know anything, under fair-play rules, a presumption of innocence until proven guilty ... it seems to me, to be unfair for any one of us to make remarks," the WAMC (90.3 FM) executive director and WNYT Ch. 13 commentator said on Tuesday.

Were these stations similarly solicitous of the rights of Linda Tripp when Jane Mayer in the New Yorker aired that childhood charge of shoplifting against her that it turned out the judge had dismissed? I know a lot of the rest of the media was not.

>>The local story -- how the district attorney's office and the cops handled the case -- will be around for a while. Ritter canceled a trip to Iraq Tuesday; until he makes some sort of public statement, the story will linger nationally. <<

I wonder if Mr William Scott Ritter will explain why he is going to Iraq?

[rolling_stone]

Interesting if someone should sue the station for the misleading story and subpoena the tape..

[mewzilla]

Mr. McGuire should also look into why the ADA did what she did. Inquiring minds want to know, Mr. McGuire. Though the fact that this happened where it did is hardly surprising.

[TLBSHOW]

I liked this part!
Tuesday, The Associated Press picked it up, as did the Internet and talk radio in earnest. The cable nets have been dancing around the issue, but are starting to jump on it.

Moral turpitude is protected behavior for liberals.
This is the guy we trusted to take of business in Iraq. Was he protecting our interests, or was he chasing underage sex kittens?

[Travis McGee]

Ritter is on a pay per pronouncement basis with his Iraqi bosses.

If he does not dance to thier tune at this point, they will release tapes of his recruitment when he first agreed to take their money.

Just IMHO.

In a word. NO.It seems that memories can be selective and short. FYI, Alan Chartock was Mario Cuomo's best buddy and probably wrote Mario's Press releases as news stories.

Many have said that if Mario stopped quickly Chartock's head would have got stuck in his butt.

[hobbes1]

"There is also the inability to separate out what the guy's message is with his personal problem here," said Chartock,

I'm sorry...did I miss something...

Does this man seriously mean to say, that Luring a girl you think to be under 18, and therefore Jail Bait, to a Motel Liason, does NOT call ones judgement into question......

Oh, that's right it's just about Sex.

Sorry Scott, You'd better put some ice on that....

[mewzilla]

And a note to Mr. Chartock: An inability to separate the message form the messenger?? Did it ever occur to you, bright boy, that the messenger might just have been blackmailed into delivering the message? And if so, what does it say about the message if someone has to be blackmailed into delivering it?

Mr. McGuire should also look into why the ADA did what she did.

Can't do that, she's a Democrat.
