" "Damn, I hate it when I've been had..."

Careful now. You are getting awfully close to Joe Bidens disease.

He apologized for the "Bush lied" column and is removing from the site's archives all articles based on bogus spook Wilkinson.

Nice gesture, and an honest one, but now the toothpaste is out of the tube. Even as he was retracting his story yesterday, it was still showing up in publications literally around the world.

Too damn funny.

It's more probable that Dennis Kucinich will be the next president than you'll have to publicly apologize to Thompson.

Games People Play


By William McKinley

"If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it?

Games people play in the middle of the night" - Alan Parsons Project, "Games People Play"


The recent fiasco experienced by the New York Times over the creative writing exploits of Jayson Blair should have served as a warning to journalists to be careful over the information they publish. A news outfit depends upon its credibility, just as surely as our society depends upon news reporting in order for people to make judgments over their own governance. Yet it appears that some lessons are not easily learned, as was recently demonstrated by some events which are to this moment still unfolding.

Doug Thompson has been involved in journalism for decades. According to his biography, he has won awards for his reporting and his commentary, and he has worked as Press Secretary for a few members of Congress. He runs a news and commentary webzine called Capitol Hill Blue. Chris Betros is the editor of Japan Today, an English Internet news publication based in Tokyo. Both men find themselves in an uncomfortable position for a journalist, where the story becomes partly about them. I can best describe William Rivers Pitt as a propagandist and a left wing agitator. On July 8th, a sequence of events commenced involving all three that demonstrates that in the aftermath of Jayson Blair, the field of journalism still has not immunized itself from the ministrations of charlatans...

"Has he printed a retraction to every article where he used Wilkinson as a source?"

Worse than that, IMO. Instead of pointing out the truth, stating which articles he wrote that might have relied on material from Wilkinson, Thompson has stated that he's deleted all the articles. There is a lot about this story that stinks, but scrubbing the record the clean is straight out of the clinonistas playbook.

No, it actually sounds like Winston Smith hard at work.

I like the location the best.

Los Angelos? Doug/Terrance is in Los Angelos? Fox is broadcasting a car chase in Los Angelos. CHB says that Doug is taking a breather. Could he be.......?????

Nah.

It is a good thing that you are registered!

This is really great!

Seems to be a familial look alike between Doug and the erstwhile spook!

I hear that OJ and Bob Woodward will help Doug look for this dangerous spook!

BTW, am I the only one who considers donning the foil when I get around this story?
