Well, those who believe everything the WP & NYT prints, but don't believe Debka, take note.

Might want to send that comment to Rush and Drudge ..

[rintense]

Doesn't Drudge siren WP stories all the time, including the original 'Powell will step down' one???

" but don't believe Debka, take note"

Yea, What happened to the Debka link on Free Republic ?

[jriemer]

Offical statements awaiting Washington Post retractions *ping*

[MizSterious]

Sounds like the liberals are just "wishful thinking" in print. Debka, though, is at least interesting--unlike the NYT, Washington Post, NPR and other "acceptable" media sources on FR. And, as you stated, at least as accurate, if not more so.

A-HA!! I said this yesterday that i doubted the validity of this story from the Post. It sounded to me that the Post was floating hopeful stories in an effort to drive a wedge between Bush and his high black support. I feel vindicated.

I used to hyperventilate when I saw a "hugh and series" story highlighted by Drudge (or for that matter FR). It's gotten to the point that when I put the curser over the link to the story and I see NYT, WP or LA Times I don't even click on anymore. I know the story be 1)captioned with a misleading headline 2) not be news but be commentary 3) not be the truth. Why bother even reading it.

[End Times Sentinel]

Well, I'm disappointed I might have to suffer another four years of C. Powell toadying up to palestinians, but it's nice to see the Washington Post discredited yet again.  When will people sit up and take note that this rag just conjures stories up out of thin air???

We know that all three are full of crap. Your point is?

[theDentist]

So, did Jayson Blair find a new job?

[caisson71]

I believe this is more "planting the seeds of discontent and disension".

[FairOpinion]

The original FALSE story is still in "Breaking News", that's why I posted this one there, but it was removed.

It just doesn't make sense to have the FALSE story under Breaking news, and the correction down someher, where not everyone may see it.

More electioneering at the fishwrap known as The Washington Post.

No one resigns anymore. Such concepts of honor have long been dead in this country. No even one resignation over 9/11! A resignation is seen as a sign of weakness or of a mistake and we can't admit to mistakes now can we? What happens now is called Bureaucratic Marginalization. An offical who either "messed up", was obviously wrong, or is simply incompetent isn't removed or asked to resign- they are simply left in place but without power and denied access to the POTUS or other power centers. They are denied any input into policy making or decisions. They simply become automatic signature machines for the policies of others.

Almost as honest as the dis-info that is spewed from our government.

It doesn't matter. If he leaves today or in two years, he will be replaced. Same for all other positions.

But, but, but I saw it on CNN! They would NEVER run something if it wasn't backed up by other sources. Oh the humanity!

Armitage was on Hannity this afternoon, and had one word for it.......NONSENSE.
