And encourage all of them to fact-check my fact-checking. I had to do some extra digging to find the William Bunch blog - even my source at the Daily News didn't know about that.
nice catch...
Thanks. I happen to have a strong connection to the Daily News, which is why this piqued my interest...
Doubtless because your letters improve the quality of the writing and average IQ of the paper's content. At no cost to themselves.
That said, good job Fisking Ms. Slaughter and her "sources". Everybody in the White House Press Corps sat there and nodded their heads on every one of her points. The MSM can't be bothered to research their stories anymore. Might counter their bias...
I don't know. We have our own channels on the right, but those tend to be more informal. I have found that the left tends to accuse the GOP of doing what it itself does, and that probably applies here.
There's more to it than that. The DN is a pretty scrappy, feisty outfit. And they always tend to keep a token attitudinal conservative on their editorial board. Sadly, one was killed in a robbery attempt a few years ago - a man named Russ Beyers, who defended his wife and took a knife for it.
The MSM was as much a candidate in the last election as Kerry, the Democrat Party nominee. The MSM lost and lost big. They unleashed every attack based on any information, real or imagined, on this President. The New Media was there, as informal as it is, to counter the MSM. Now the MSM wants its revenge. They can't win in the market place. Thus, they are determined to win by attacking the individuals and organizations that make up the New Media.
Memo to the MSM, bring it bitches. If they want to go down this road, then a ton of doors into the past and personal lives of Mr. Olberman, Mr. Matthews, David Gregory and everyone of these leftist journalists can and will be opened.
Bummer, I misread this. I thought it said "Representative Louise slaughters Dan Rather". Oh well.
They are trying to "out" this reporter. They want people to find his real name and therefore his "real" life. It is funny that the Democrats spend so much times trying to "out" conservatives. They would be screaming bloody murder is conservatives tried to do this to a gay liberal reporter.
Yes, he was ... his name was his screen name.
Ouch! You know, I start feeling sorry for the Rats. I don't know... things are just falling apart.
"According to the Philadelphia Daily News, "Jeff Gannon" isn't even his real name. (snip) "....the Daily News investigation has thus far failed to turn up a "Jeff Gannon" who holds a degree in education from Penn State, as this person claims he does...
Slaughter's stupidity is head-shaking.
I don't think that will work. As I showed here, they don't mean a word they say about honesty, integrity, and being unbiased. Those are just words to them, devoid of the underlying values.
At first blush, that places us at a disadvantage. But at the end of the day (or at the end of the election cycle), that is why they are losing - because enough voters realize that, to the libs, words are just that - nothing more than words and spin. So we should just keep pummelling them on their hypocrisy, and be glad that they will not acknowledge it. Because their failure to acknowledge it is WHY THEY KEEP LOSING GROUND.
That makes absolutely no sense - if Jeff Gannon is a false name, OF COURSE you won't find a degree.
But things are changing a bit. The MSM is now personally attacking the New Media, i.e. going after the persons who make up the New Media. To be sure, calling them on their hypocrisy is what we have been doing, but they are ramping the battle to a new level. The New Media can't bring a knife to a gun fight. I think the MSM is making a serious error by ramping this up. I am willing to bet that there are some skeletons in some closets that would call their credibility into question.
I have to wonder, will your expose of Representative Slaughter's Dan Rather moment make it into the MSM? Will it rescue a New Media organization like Talon News and allow it to have a representative in the White House?
He named himself after the villain who kidnapped Zelda, and he runs gay pr0n websites, and he hangs out at the White House doing the bidding of Master Rove? Odd fellow. Must have an interesting life.
I doubt it, other than the Philly Daily News taking an interest in the story because they are part of it. Orwell said it best - omission is the most powerful form of lie. And the MSM will pretend that none of what I posted here exists.
And they will convince 99.7 percent of their believers of such. But a few more folks will see this and start to doubt the MSM.
This battle is fought one person at a time. We cannot lose sight of that fact - for every home run like Rathergate, there is a lot of work that can be accomplished by continually running smaller stories that impact a few people at a time.
Awesome graphic.
