You have to give them credit at the News-Tribune (and to Mr. Parsons as well). While the paper didn't have to do this, they should have. Unfortunately, in doing so, they are a rarity in showing the integrity that newspapers claim they have as a goal.

I just wish that Mr. Parsons had provided his daughter's college and the alleged professor that passed this nonsense along to her. He must really be feeling like a sucker right now if he's paying her tuition.

The DUdies are still posting threads that include a flyer full of exactly the same scare tactics about a draft. Several responses indicate that it's a persistent (and believed) rumor on numerous college campuses.

Even after the bill was killed this week, they still post URGENT threads about a draft.

Our country is chock full or morons.

"I borrowed quite liberally....."

Naturally.

Just another example of the press not doing their job of checking the facts. I watched various news coverage following W's speech yesterday. An MSNBC talking head asked a guest if Kerry ever really called the coalition "coerced and bribed." The guest said he did not believe that was true and they just took his word for it. A simple Google search would have provided them with many sources of the quote. Lazy and biased.

I hope Bush refutes this draft BS loud and clear on friday, because just ignoring it is giving it momentum.

Cheney should have a few loud, clear Halliburton comments as well. By ignoring them, he gives the Halliburton thing momentum as well.

Too bad the rest of the media can't be so forthcoming right off [CBS]. The democrats have done everything they could think of to sway this election, including this bogus draft email! Rangle should have sanctions imposed against him for using this bill as a threat. Instead, he spun it around against Bush. I'd be ashamed to be a liberal, but liberals have no shame.

I hate to be the thread police, but I posted this yesterday :)

Still, nice to see a newspaper own up to its error.
