The Washington Post said Saturday that a top-secret briefing memo presented to President Bush in 1998

Now let's think - what man was president in 1998, received that top-secret briefing, and is responsible for dropping whatever ball was dropped?

What a convenient misprint...

The compost has reached a new low.

I bet that there is a plaque on their cafeteria wall that reads: "It's the agenda, stupid"

The problem is that there was some morons who think that Bush was President back them.

That all goes along with the "dumbing down" of America. It's as if they want to keep us "barefoot and pregnant", sort of.
It's probably a subliminal message, if you ask me. The media believes if they say things like this often enough, it will become truth.
BTW, I e-mailed them, too, but I don't expect it will do any good.

Now everyone will know that Bernie was right!

Kayak.....look what the media did now...

[ex-Texan]

I sent them a very sasty email indeed.

Also suggest everybody send the White House complaints deamnding they undertake an investigation of CBS and Dan Rather .... lying to frame Bush is beyond outrageous.

Napoleon spoke of the "press as the seventh great power." Its significance became politically visible with the beginning of the French Revolution, and maintained its position for the entirety of the 19th Century. The century's politics were largely determined by the press. One can hardly imagine or explain the major historical events between 1800 and 1900 without considering the powerful influence of journalism.

The radio will be for the Twentieth Century what the press was for the Nineteenth. With the appropriate change, one can apply Napoleon's phrase to our age, speaking of the radio as the eighth great power. Its discovery and application are of truly revolutionary significance for contemporary community life. Future generations may conclude that the radio had as great an intellectual and spiritual impact on the masses as the printing press had before the beginning of the Reformation.

The November Regime [the Nazi term for the Weimar Republic] was not able to understand the full significance of the radio. Even those who claimed to have awakened the people and gotten them involved in practical politics were without exception almost blind to the possibilities of this modern method of influencing the masses.

At best, they saw it as an easy way to distract the masses from the difficulties of our national and social life through games and entertainment. Only reluctantly did they think of using radio for political purposes. As in all other things, they viewed radio through the mildew of an ostensible objectivity. They left the radio and its development to its technical and administrative experts, limiting their own use of it for partisan purposes to times of particular domestic crises.

It goes without saying that the National Socialist revolution, which is modern and intent on action, as well as the popular upheaval we have led, must change abstract and lifeless methods in the radio. The old regime was content simply to fill empty offices or change the faces, without however changing the spirit and content of public life. We on the other hand intend a principled transformation in the worldview of our entire society, a revolution of the greatest possible extent that will leave nothing out, changing the life of our nation in every regard.

This process, which has been visible to the layman in the last six months, was naturally not random. It was systematically prepared and organized. We have used our power in the last six months to carry out this transformation. We spent the period before 30 January in winning power, having then the same goals that we have carried out in the six months since we took power.

It would not have been possible for us to take power or to use it in the ways we have without the radio and the airplane. It is no exaggeration to say that the German revolution, at least in the form it took, would have been impossible without the airplane and the radio.

Sounds like libel to me.

This probably needs to stay bumped. I don't have a *ping* list, maybe MeeknMing or backhoe or someone else could do the honors.

[joathome]

Bump! This is hilarious!

[metesky]

I went over to their site, rubbed my eyes three times and it was still there. 1998!

Don't they remember that it's the smart half of the population that has web access?

1998! What an imbesile, what an ultra maroon!

The Washington Post said Saturday that a top-secret briefing memo presented to
President Bush in 1998 focused on efforts by Osama bin Laden to strike at targets in the U.S.
Geez, Louise!

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my ping list!. . .don't be shy.

"Don't they remember that it's the smart half of the population that has web access?"

Unfortunately, I heard the same story last night on the Pittsburgh NBC affiliate, WPXI. And trust me, the local democrats are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

[Anamensis]

Bizarre. Not that I don't trust you, but I double checked to make sure it wasn't some sort of mistake. But no, no mistake. There it is on the CBS Evening News page, "The Washington Post said Saturday that a top-secret briefing memo presented to President Bush in 1998 focused on efforts by Osama bin Laden to strike at targets in the U.S. "

I couldn't believe it. I e-mailed them, but... wow.

[MeekOneGOP]

This reminds me of the occasional headlines by Internet news media refering to Clinton
instead of Bush in their articles. What Morons! Thanks for the heads up!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Let's hope that reporter's teacher corrects her middle school class on who was President in 1998 before school lets out for the summer.

[floriduh voter]

Wasn't President Bush inaugurated in January of the year 2001? They're having trouble finding newer material apparently. I have to say that Bubba (whom I despise) was kinda sticking up for Dubya today on Fox. I guess Bubba would just as soon that the politicization of 9-11 come to a halt before he's being investigated AGAIN.

Just told my 14 year old to read the article on the CBS page. He read the third paragrah and started laughing.

So if a 14 year old can pick out an obvious mistake, what about the editors of the website.

[MrRepublic]

All we can do is laugh I suppose. That, and get wild-eyed furious. The media (papers, TV, radio) sickens me to no end. There's a line between "free speech" (which I will always support) and "freedom to lie like the liberal doorstops taht we are". Obviously, that line has been crossed in this case.

[maxwellp]

The Washington Post article is extremely confusing or the author is extremely dumb if he's not aware that the President of the USA in 1998 was Clinton.

[scan58]

Thanks, dude! :-)
I went over to the Washington Post site and I think I found the article that CBS may have been making an attempt at quoting. Although the Post is not an example of fair reporting, either, and it does mention 1998 - this particular statement is not there.
Conveniently, though, it doesn't mention who WAS POTUS then, either.

[floriduh voter]

I'm with you. If we get too involved in telling the dems what we think they should do, then we lose our issues. I believe in letting them stay inept, uninformed and unenlightened. I only help the good guys.
