I nominate NBC for Chris Matthews' and Lawrence O'Donnell's attacks and tirades (against Michelle Malkin and John O'Neil, respectively).

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 28, 2004 17:02:35 ET XXXXX
TERROR TAPE WARN OF BUSH, CHENEY CONSEQUENCE; ABC WITHHELD PORTIONS FROM CIA
**Exclusive**
ABCNEWS withheld portions of an alarming new al Qaeda videotape which warns the next terror attack will dwarf 9/11 from the CIA when they submitted the video for analysis, a top federal source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.
The CIA and FBI late Wednesday authenticated the tape, federal sources tell DRUDGE. ABCNEWS has been informed of the government's standing.
"What took place on September 11 was but the opening salvo of the global war on America and that our Lord willing, the magnitude and ferocity of what is coming your way will make you forget all about September 11," the man, whose face is covered by a headdress, warns in the video. "After decades of American tyranny, now it's your turn to die."
ABCNEWS submitted portions of the video threat to the FBI and CIA on Monday for analysis, top government sources tell DRUDGE, after obtaining the tape from a source in Pakistan.
A top goverment source said from Washington that ABC withheld the final 15 minutes of the tape from the CIA -- the portion of the tape where the man warns of retribution for Americans electing Bush and Cheney.

"You are guilty, guilty, guilty. You're as guilty as Bush and Cheney. You're as guilty as Rumsfeld and Ashcroft and Powell...," the man states.
He goes on to warn of an upcoming horror: "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead.
"People of America, that was the verdict now for the sentencing: as participants and partners in the crimes of the regime, you too shall pay the price for the blood that has been spilled."
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.
The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead.
^ That made me cry. I am actually kind of scared now that it gets down to the final days cause i dont want kerry to win
You nailed it! The MSM is not supposed to be the story. As soon as the election is over we should get all FR minds together and determine a way to bring about truth in MSM.
There is an after the election list.
First, Change the way we vote in this country so it is one citizen one vote
Second, demolish the MSM.
Third, Broaden the alternative media
Freedom of the Press means - we get to do what we want and say what we want!
Well .. FOX's Brit Hume played the whole tape - so a whole bunch of people have already been informed about the tape.
Yup! You're right. Thanks. A few months into his fourth term.
>>I thought they said yesterday that the CIA couldn't authenticate the tape. <<
That is not what was said. ABC turned over the tape to the CIA for authentification, and it has been authenticated.
We are at war and the sooner Americans wake up and realize that the Islamofascists are planning and intend to kill us all, the better prepared we will be. This is not some idiotic 'reality show."
If we took the threat as seriously as we should, John Kerry would not even be on the radar screen.
I think they were going to hold it till after the election because Bush's poll numbers always go up when there is a threat. I understood they were making excuses not to show it.
"What kind of idiot holds back on the CIA?"
Elitist a$$holes in the MSM, that's who.
Let me think of some more liberal, disbelieving idiots. Hum, there's Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, Charles Gibson, Chris Matthews, Olberman, and lets not forget total nutcase, Lawrence O'Donnell.
And who believes this? We have heard these quotes from the begining. There is nothin new here, there is nothing that could have been with held that we haven't heard before.
Oh, brother! [rolling eyes]
If I get to where a little pantywaist "terrist" makes me
so scared I wet my pants and vote the way he tells me,
will someone please just roll me in a hole and shovel?!?
Here goes
Kerry has behind the scenes knowledge that ABC has a terror tape from Al Qaeda threatening attacks on America. Kerry was also tipped off about so-called "missing" explosives from Iraq and accuses Bush of incompetence.
Kerry is setting himself up to blame Bush for any preelection attack on America. (The weapons that attacked us came from Iraq etc. etc.)
This may be what is driving Kerry. He is desperate and is setting himself up for this as a way to counter the conventional wisdom that any attack helps Bush.
For a whole variety of reasons I hope I am horribly off base. But with the Dems, I think one can exhaust one's imagination without selling short their ability to get as low as the situation requires.
I nominate NBC for Chris Matthews' and Lawrence O'Donnell's attacks and tirades (against Michelle Malkin and John O'Neil, respectively).
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.
Yeah, especially if the news is going to benefit President Bush. ABC can take their "journalistic balance" and stick it where the sun don't shine.
Threats worked in Spain,,,and it will work with some here.
Who could have ever imagined this one--an 'a-Q terrorist 527 ad' for Kerry!!
Amazing,,,absolutely AMAZING!!
Well said........there are honest, decent people working at these news organizations who want the truth to get out. So, they leak the story.....very carefully, I would suppose.
The ego and mindset of the MSM is just unbelievable at this point.
My take on your sentence. :)
How ironic that ABC released a tape that was 60 Minutes long. Guess that's what Danny Boy and Peter worked out in their great meeting of the MSM awhile back.
