WND banned from covering Capitol (Paul Sperry)

No, they reported that there was a plan to invade.

That's false. Read the link in Post #50.

Here's one laughable snippet, but there are many more.

Equally troubling, at the beginning of the week, the Iraqi force already in Jordan was sighted moving west, several groups having reached the sand dunes and wadis known as Abu Haffrah, about 80 km (50 miles) inside Jordanian territory.

King Abdullah decided to take command of the Jordanian forces still chasing the Iraqis intruders. That is why he looked so worried and tired – as though he had not slept for nights – in his public appearances in Amman in the past week. He also appeared in combat fatigues.

It's bad enough that WND prints this crap, but it's unbelievable to me that anyone here would defend it, or, in your case, have a case of total denial.

Welcome Hed!! I agree with your thoughts 100%! I enjoy reading stuff at WND, and I hope that they sue this stupid board.

Let me make absolutely sure I've got this straight. You think WND should sue FreeRepublic?

[gunnedah]

You have to be a puppet on a string to cover the Whitehouse anymore.We have taken Russia's place in the world of Communism and trying hard to take Chinas place in human rights violations.

[Reborn]

LOL I didn't know that FR has a board, lol. I'm referring to the main article.

Washington,WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

[Reborn]

"According to the committee's chairman, William L. Roberts III, himself a journalist for Bloomberg News Service, there wasn't even a vote by the five-member BOARD."

[dighton]

Oops! Glad I asked.

You may specify the punishment of your choice: anything but Castle Anthrax or the Comfy Chair.

Incredible. Debka actually reported Iraq invaded Jordan?

No. He is lying.

Dog Gone, you are lying. Something you claim you don't like Debka doing.

The anti-Debka people obviously have agendas. They lie more than Debka.

Who's next, newsmax.com, Criss Ruddy, then Lary Klayman won't be allowed in the courtroom?

[joesbucks]

The only problem I have with this is WND is often guilty of not telling "the rest of the story" or the "story behind the story".

I also know Jack Tory. While a lib, he's fair and takes his position as a journalist very seriously. I doubt that he would deny someone simply on who the reporter worked for.

[Dog Gone]

Dog Gone, you are lying. Something you claim you don't like Debka doing.

I posted the proof. It's not my problem if you can't read.

[tallhappy]

No. You distort and lie.

It is a perfectly reasonable scenario.

I have no idea if it is true and neither do you.

America's founders, fearing the day would come when Congress would make laws restricting the free press, crafted the First Amendment to the Constitution as a special protection against such abuse.

They understood without a vibrant, independent watchdog, government would become too powerful, exceed its authority and the people would be deliberately kept in the dark about what Washington was doing.

And this is why porn is not protected under the first amendment. The first Amendment is to protect political speech, not decadent speech.

Ban porn, not the WND.

It's already happening in NJ. There's a big to-do here about McGreedy's secret doings, and the press ain't invited. Guess we know where the Democrats heart is on this issue. Now if it was porno, there'd be lawyers all over the place demanding free speech rights.

In short, they are using the power of government to suppress competition and gain an unfair competitive advantage.

[Dog Gone]

Enjoy your fantasies, dude. If my failure to share them with you makes me a liar in your book, I'll bet I can live with it. In fact, I'll be concerned if you ever agree with me on anything.
