Which do you think it was - "foreign" or "more?"

They kinda sound alike, but this was a major breaking story and no liberal reporter worth his queer abortion at the DNC would have missed it in their scrubdown prior to print.

I still think it was "foreign."

Rush addressing the reporter running to the rescue now.

I'm looking into a black box, and until the tape is posted online somewhere I'll never know.

I think it's "more". I think the reporter took down the quotation, not realizing how offensive Kerry's allegation is and, hence, how important the story is.

Once attention was called to the quotation he decided to re-hear it in order to be sure that he could stand by what he wrote, and found that (he believes) he mis-transcribed it.

I think that he panicked. The reason he is not credible to so many people is the way that the mainstream media have shown their biases in so many ways. For example, another poster wrote how MSNBC simply said that the Bush campaign criticized him for alleging discussions with foreign leaders, when actually he said more, not foreign.

In this case, I think that the honest-mistake scenario makes the most sense.
