I am having a back and forth with Japan Today regarding their publishing of an article which appeared in Capitol Hill Blue that has subsequently been exposed to be false.Japan Today did not get the article from Capitol Hill Blue though. They got it from Truthout.org, a leftist propaganda outfit.I wanted to see if Truthout.org even had the story up on their site. I went to their main page, Truthout.org and checked. Nothing. I noticed a search box up at the top. So I took a phrase from the original article, sought significant quantities and hit search.Bingo.Here is what the...

The Great Pumpkin is finally going to be appearing! No, really! It's TRUE. TRUTHOUT just made this grand announcement in the form of saying that Karl Rove was really REALLY indicted last May 12. Oh, and the only reason why we don't know about it is that his indictment has been sealed all this time. You can read the TruthOut Great Pumpkin announcement in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Jason Leopold and Marc Ash|Indictment Still Sealed, Fitzgerald Still Busy." Yeah, now there are two reliable sources, a degenerate drug-addicted liar and a former fashion editor. And where is Sonny Crockett?...

"It is insane and nonsensical, equal parts bizarre innuendo and alleged facts that do not square with reality or the American legal system. "Truthout's stubborn nuttiness to the contrary, some times things are simply as they appear: Mr. Fitzgerald completed his investigation, reviewed the evidence, and concluded that it simply does not support a charge. "There never was -- not for a second -- any secret meetings at my office, plea negotiations, secret sealed (or not so sealed, as the case may be) indictments, or last minute concessions."

TruthOut promised us a more "comprehensive accounting" about their Rove indictment story when they got caught with their pants down as a result of the announcement that Karl Rove WON'T be indicted. Instead, what we got yesterday at TruthOut was yet another SERIES of incredibly LAME excuses and weasel words that even most DUmmies aren't buying. Of course, I still BEEEEEEEELEEEEEVE that Karl Rove was indicted on May 12. Why? Because WILLIAM RIVERS PITT stated that he verified all the sources (including Joe Wilson) in triplicate. And if WILLIAM RIVERS PITT backs up this story then it MUST be...

Last Friday, Truthout editor Marc Ash told his readers to "Expect a more comprehensive accounting of this matter on Monday, June 19." It's 5:45 p.m. on the East coast, and so far Ash hasn't posted anything about Jason Leopold's false report that Karl Rove had been indicted. Perhaps that's because yesterday, the Washington Post published a story that adds to the number of things Ash needs to explain. It's by Joe Lauria — the journalist Leopold pretended to be as he tried to confirm his phony story: Three days later, Leopold's Rove story appeared. I wrote him a congratulatory e-mail,...

The Leftists LOVE using military terminology when it serves their purposes. And in this case, the term "Standing Down" is being used in order to have to avoid the nasty word, "Retract." Yes, "retract" is so ugly. It means you have to TAKE BACK a phony story and admit that Hoaxmas has no basis in fact. Therefore, TruthOut weaseled out by saying they are "Standing Down" on Hoaxmas so they don't have to admit FINAL error. Even the DUmmies aren't buying the Truthout is "Standing Down on the Rove Matter" routine. So let us now watch the DUmmies sit...

A former fashion photographer known as Marc Ash of Truthout has issued a PROCLAMATION declaring that the mighty Truthout Triumvirate of Pitt, Leopold and himself are stubbornly standing behind their ABSURD Hoaxmas fairy tale that Karl Rove was indicted on May 12 despite the fact that more than a hundred business hours have elapsed since then. I guess we can also expect Ash to insist on New Year's Eve that Rove was definitely indicted back in May despite the fact that no indictment has been reported outside of TruthOut. Yeah, and there were still Japanese on isolated Pacific islands...

Wrong About Rove? By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, May 23, 2006; 7:54 AM I reported yesterday (and if you missed it, start paying attention!) that the liberal Web site Truthout.org was standing by its claim that Karl Rove had been secretly indicted in the CIA leak case, despite strong denials by the White House aide's lawyer and spokesman. Why the Rove team would lie about information that, if true, was certain to come out soon was never quite clear. More than three dozen mainstream journalists checked on the Truthout report but could not confirm a word of...

Robert Luskin, Karl Rove's lawyer, says he spent most of the day on May 12 taking his cat to the veterinarian and having a technician fix his computer at home. He was stunned, therefore, when journalists started calling to ask about an online report that he had spent half the day at his law office, negotiating with Patrick Fitzgerald -- and that the special prosecutor had secretly obtained an indictment of Rove. The cat's medical tests, Luskin says, found that "the stools were free of harmful parasites, which is more than I can say for this case." The claim that...

Truthout doesn't say they were wrong, they don't say they were right. They say: The Rove Indictment Story as of Right Now By Marc Ash, Fri May 19th, 2006 at 04:23:39 PM EDT :: Fitzgerald Investigation On Saturday afternoon, May 13, 2006, TruthOut ran a story titled, "Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators." The story stated in part that top Bush aide Karl Rove had earlier that day been indicted on the charges set forth in the story's title. The time has now come, however, to issue a partial apology to our readership for this story....

A week after proclaiming that Karl Rove has already been indicted on charges of perjury and lying to federal investigators, Truthout has issued a rather inscrutable partial apology. "The time has now come. . . to issue a partial apology to our readership for this story," Truthout Executive Director Marc Ash said in a post on the site Friday. "While we paid very careful attention to the sourcing on this story, we erred in getting too far out in front of the news cycle. In moving as quickly as we did, we caused more confusion than clarity. And that was...

Mark Ash at Truthout's Blog has issued a "partial apology" (his words) for the Rove story. His excuse? While we paid very careful attention to the sourcing on this story, we erred in getting too far out in front of the news-cycle. In moving as quickly as we did, we caused more confusion than clarity

Rove rumor red meat to blue state audience http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060515/NEWS05/605150380/1007

At 4:23 PM today, TruthOut issued a non-apology apology over Hoaxmas. It sort of looks like an apology but it really ISN'T an apology. What it really is is a heaping load of of unadulterated BULL. As we shall see, not even the DUmmies are buying it. So let us now jump right in with the lame NON-APOLOGY APOLOGY typed out in a fit of desperation by TruthOut's Marc Ash in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, hoping that Pied Piper Pitt has a designated driver wherever he is tonight, is in the [brackets]: The Rove...

<p>UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter released a new book, accusing President Bush of illegally attacking Iraq and calling for "regime change" in the United States at the next election.</p> <p>Ritter criticized key figures caught up in the U.S.-led war at Monday's U.N. news conference. He said Bush lied to the American people and Congress about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction; U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan lacked courage; former chief weapons inspector Hans Blix was "a moral and intellectual coward."</p>

More evidence that Spamcop-listed Truthout is indeed spamming Annalee is a careful reporter and a reliable source. Others also have told me Truthout has spammed them, which means the evidence so far strongly indicates that the folks at Truthout are unrepentant, litigious spammers. Small wonder, then, that Spamcop is listing the site, and shame on Truthout for threatening litigation against Spamcop if all it is doing is, ah, putting the truth out. (Naturally I will give the fokls at Truthout the opportunity to reply.) Note that no bill in the U.S. Congress that I'm aware of (and I believe...

Spamcop blacklists truthout.org (for a good reason?) --- From: "Ben" <bmw@xxxxxxxxxx.com Subject: Spamcop blacklists truthout.org Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 13:55:05 -0400 I thought I'd let you know about this considering your dealings with Spamcop, but speaking only for myself I have to tell you that the issue may not be as simple to judge as it was when Spamcop blacklisted Politech. That's mostly because, despite never signing up for truthout's newsletter, I get it regularly. I don't know how it happened, and I'm certain no one I know would've had any reason to sign me up. I also...

Damn, I hate it when I've been had and I've been had big time. In 1982, while I was working for Congressman Manuel Lujan of New Mexico, a man came up to a me during a gathering in Albuquerque and introduced himself as Terrance J. Wilkinson. He said he was a security consultant and gave me a business card with his name and just a Los Angeles phone number. A few weeks later, he called my Washington office and asked to meet for lunch. He seemed to know a lot about the nuclear labs in New Mexico and said he...
