RATHER Gone.
JORDAN Gone.

And yet, Los Angeles Times LIBERAL Media Critic DAVID SHAW still insists on telling us that:


RATHER's work 'Shoddy, Slipshod' not LIBERAL..?

At the dentist's office today, picked up the latest issue of Time. They had a little interview with the guy who Rather interviewed for the Big Tobacco racketeering story. He described their story checking back when they worked with him as "picayune." He said they went over every detail with him a dozen times.

Two differences between then and now:
1. The President was unlikely to sue, but if they accidentally libeled the tobacco companies, they would have been sued until Dan was wearing a barrel on the nightly newscast.

2. Dan Rather (and more to the point, Mary Mapes) wanted to prove Dubya missed some drills 30 years ago more than he ever wanted to prove that tobacco companies were in a conspiracy to kill their customers. Heck Mapes worked on the AWOL story for five years, and the Manhattan Project took 3 years!

Unfortunately, dealing with the MSM is like working in a sewage treatment plant. Just when you think you've gotten rid of the two biggest turds clogging up the works along comes a truckload of even bigger ones. Your work is never done.

Just a thought....Why would these MSM losers think there is any possible reason our military would want to target "journalists", unless those "journalists" were actually aiding the enemy?
