TERROR TAPE WARN OF BUSH, CHENEY CONSEQUENCE; ABC WITHHELD PORTIONS FROM CIA

In the Washinton Post article I just read--bottom line, ABC is blaming Bush for this tape being released as a scare tactic to work in their favor for the election. That of course is ABC's warped interpretation.

[SuzyQue]

"One ABC source, who demanded anonymity, said Thursday morning, the network was struggling to find a correct journalistic "balance" before airing any story on the video.

"This is not something you just throw out there while people are voting," the ABC source explained."

And ABC had absolutely no problem airing obviously fake documents with no confirmation from any other sources, with apparently the sole intent of defaming the President's reputation about a 30-year old non-issue right before an election, but this one they stop and think about even with CIA confirmation as to its authenticity? Their arrogance and duplicity are just astounding.

The longer ABC waits, the worse they look. Bush will simply send a copy to another network. ABC will probably try to run little innocuous pieces of the tape, but it will be too late for them by then. ABC NEWS now joins CBS News and NY Times as a fully discredited news organization.

"This is not something you just throw out there while people are voting,"

Unlike the missing explosives story, which can be tossed out there without any investigation whatsoever. But anything that might conceivably help Bush must be vetted very carefully.

I did almost an hour ago, but he is on location in Philly an is hamming it up with the crowd.

So, we have to find an answer otherwise we will have the media and terrorists (real or bought) ruling our elections through fear. Is that freedom?

[danneskjold]

The cynic in me says not necessarily. The courageous want to live free. The craven just want to live. And we seem to have equal numbers of each these days.

We are not Spain...

[GoLightly]

Reading between the lines, they don't have any big operations set to go off before the election.

I know what you are saying but this is different -- they tampered with evidence that was given to the CIA -- apples and oranges.

I thought the CBS people should have fried but in comparison that was minor to withholding national security information from the CIA when you know there was an additional 15 minutes.

[SheLion]

Even people who denied the media was biased don't bother to offer more than a cursory denial anymore and they can't even do that with a straight face.

Sorry I am so slow, Peach!

Well, it might be a hairy week-end.

Like I said, years ago when we didn't have the Internet and just one news media, they could pull the wool over our eyes. No more. No more.......everything is out there at the speed of light!

LET ME REPEAT THE CSM REPORTER IS ABC'S PRODUCER IN PAKISTAN!!

Ohhhhh, this producer must not have received the memo stating the company line was that it was only 60 minutes long.

[vrwcagent0498]

I wasn't going to vote early; I was going to wait till Tuesday. But since this video from the Qa-Qa's has shown up...

I may just go down and vote early for BUSH/CHENEY after all!

[OESY]

ABC buries the video, we bury our dead.

I hope I never see the above story line, but ...

Don't ABC, Westin, Jennings and Halperin realize that there's a war on? That their conduct is every bit as treasonous as that of Tokyo Rose, Axis Sally and Ezra Pound?

That they have a responsibility as common citizens to assist homeland defense when they have valuable information?

I never again want to hear their sanctimonious praise of journalists killed in this conflict. As I see it, such outcomes would be just desserts for putting other Americans at risk.

[RepublicanArmy]

If your right then why would the cia or fbi say they have authenticated the tape as real?

[rang1995]

No,if we get hit,i think america will demand,and ANY president who dosnt would be wrong,To nuke the main centers of this religion of crap

[ClancyJ]

....But do fault them for not giving the whole tape to the CIA....

Me too!!!!!

[dmw]

Thanks!

[PhiKapMom]

That was a leak from the CIA but not confirmed. Most likely a Clinton leaker but now we have have the real story.

[San Jacinto]

I agree with every word you said, and I think I know the bastards contolling so-called "news" output in this country as well as anyone. I even predicted earlier today that this evening we would see the real October Surprise. Yet, when you compare the ABC behavior with what we have seen on the El Ca CA Story, it still numbs you.

And tonight when we get "All Haliburton All the Time" until the robots listening are sufficiently mind-numbed to either vote kerry or stay home, I will again feel shock. Come Tuesday night, 80% of Americans will not of even heard of the ABC Terrorist Tape......unless the Pajamahadeen can change that.
