The media lies.

Tom Lipscomb is slated to be on Fox News with John Gibson today to talk about this article and the way the media has misrepresented the story in general.

Media failed to find facts behind Bush's service record

As if they bothered to look.

Liberofascist lies. Journalists suck.

[KellyAdmirer]

The liberals and the liberal media have overplayed their hand on this badly. Pure and simple, there is no legitimate issue here. Now President Bush actually gets a sympathy wave from being attacked so viciously over a non-issue.

Just more poor judgment from the liberals - do we really want them deciding issues of war and peace? I sure don't.

Still, the media did a much better job this time than it ever did on examining Willie's 63 days of indoctrination training in Moscow, how much he received of Saddam's oil voucher money, or the real amount he received for Rich's pardon. After so many years of the media accepting as absolute fact what they were told by the White House, it is good to see that they are finally asking questions. Maybe, they will one day get it right.

Well, yeah, but let's keep digging until we uncover the facts, okay? [/sarcasm]

There was already an exhaustive look at Bush's National Guard records published and available on the Internet to any reporter who has written on this in the last week. None of whom bothered to look it up. It's title? "The Real Military Record of George W. Bush: Not Heroic, But Not AWOL, Either." It was "the first full chronology" and concludes "he did accumulate the days of service required of him for his ultimate honorable discharge."

And BTW, the source of that article was none of the JFK Jr's George Magazine.

It has never been about what the media can find, or prove.

The goal has always been to talk, and talk, and talk so much that it begins to sway public opinion. Remember the Clintons and the mantra his cronies had in the days of the Cigargate scandal?

The media is no different. Very little of the major news media is about reporting news anymore, but it is primarily concerned with editorializing to the point that people will believe whatever they tell them.

There may be nothing to this but a friend of mine knows a guy who served with Kerry in Viet Nam. The guy my friend knows, says that Kerry frequently shot farm animals belonging to innocent villagers. He also said that Kerry ran away like a scalded dog any time enemy fire was encountered.

This story is more believable than the "Bush was AWOL" story. I wonder if the media will research this or tout it as fact.

What is the old saying? "A lie gets two laps around the field before truth can get out of the gate."

Wasn't it Goebbels who said if you repeat a lie often enough it will become truth ?

Here's an allied story today:

Whatever Bush's history, there is one presidential candidate who the communist North Vietnamese credited with helping them to defeat the United States. And it wasn't Bush.

Don't you think that if we had a patriotic press that this would be pointed out?

No AWOL in Alabama. Yet another intelligence failure from the Liberals. And they want to be in charge of national security?

[Kirkwood]

It is more than a lie, it is the deliberate effort to assassinate the character of the president.

And Kerry doesn't have "the answer" because he is taking advantage of a partisan political fantasy that has stayed aloft this long because of the lousy job done by the press in reporting on it.

The press isn't doing a lousy job. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to do, slam President Bush.

And Kerry doesn't have "the answer" because he is taking advantage of a partisan political fantasy that has stayed aloft this long because of the lousy job done by the press in reporting on it.

The media isn't interested in the truth. Just the dogfight. Witness yesterdays pack of jackals in the WH press corp. What are they going to talk about? Kerry's long list of non-exsistant legislative achievements?

[Wolfstar]

Media failed to find facts behind Bush's service record...

THEY DIDN'T FAIL — THEY DIDN'T WANT TO FIND THE FACTS

...stayed aloft this long because of the lousy job done by the press in reporting on it...

Not a lousy job at all for a deliberate political smear begun by the DNC and carried "aloft" by their shills in the so-called mainstream media.
