[Dont Mention the War]

I haven't pressed this, because I figured Thompson was getting enough grief.

I see no reason not to press it, unless the two articles you speak of were of absolutely zero political relevance.

[Dont Mention the War]

Har! Look at the top story in "truthout's" daily email that just arrived in my mailbox:

Original CBS Article: 'Bush Knew Iraq Info Was False'
http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/theygetnolinkfromme.shtml

The insinuation, naturally, is that the original story is the truth, and CBS suppressed it either because they're good "conservative, right-wing media Bushbots" or because Karl Rove personally threatened to kneecap somebody.

At least the site is true to its name; when you go over there, you find that Truth has left the building!

At the time I was stunned, but the articles weren't exactly mountain-movers, so I forgot about them. Their significance today, I think, lies more in whether they demonstrate a pattern of apparently non-existent people being quoted by name in Capitol Hill Blue. I certainly didn't check every article since. What if we found 20 or 30 of these?

I wish I could find those articles; I don't know how to locate them anymore. My recollection is that these were not "man on the street" type people. These were folks who, if they had the titles attributed to them, couldn't have gotten where they are without leaving tracks somewhere.
