Definitely sounds like a religion to me.

If I was Jason Leopold, or any of the management of Truthout, I'd be considering suicide right now.

Man I feel like jumping off the bridge
Up until the weekend I was really convinced that the story was totaly true and it was just some spinmaster Republicans trying to fool us into not believing because they were scared of it then when I started reading some other places and I started having some doubts I still really wanted to think it was true but now I just feel dumb for going after Texas Republican and decon and objectionist and them who was saying the story was wrong and they were right all along and we were just believing a bunch of lies and made to look really stupid and how does that happen I do'nt know but I know I learned something and thats not to believe everything you read just because you want to believe it and maybe you should pay attention more to things when people give you all the reasons why stuff does'nt really make sense and not just ignore them just because you do'nt like them. Now I'm angry at Truth Out because when you go back and look at everything it has to be they were lying to every one and knew every one would end up getting burned for listening to them and they did it any way ther'es nothing I hate more than being made to look stupid by a bunch of ahole Republicans and now they'll be gloating all over and thats that so Texas Republican and all the rest to beat you the punch I admit I was wrong about everything and you were right and I apologize for getting on your butts about it and just leave mea alone.

I think you are all missing the point. I think in their heart of hearts (if they had one) the left knew these charges were bogus and Karl Rove would not be indicted. It'd be a bonus for them - but they knew it wasn't likely.
This is the nature of the "Drive-By-Media". It is not the facts of the case, its the seriousness of the charges. They got their drive-by hit, and just like Haditha, it unravels and they move on. I was speaking to a UK businessman here in the US on business and he was unaware that the whole Bush-National Guard story had been completely debunked. All he remembered was that there was a controversy about it.
All these "scandals" produce exactly what the MSM want, a quick hit. By the time the story is proved to be baseless the damage has been done.
