A CBS News reporter talking about GOP "dirty tricks." That's rich. Atwater's been dead for nearly a decade and a half -- Mary Mapes and Dan Rather are still alive, although they're getting kicked more than they're kicking.
Reporter, heal thyself!
My thought exactly.
From the Thornburgh Report:
...Dotty Lynch, CBS News’ Senior Political Editor....recalled having discussions with Mapes over Labor Day weekend, about the September 8 Segment. Who is Dotty Lynch? She is CBS News’ “Senior Political Editor” and a self-described “very ardent feminist” and longtime partisan liberal political operative (her mullet and turtleneck fooled me...). Before joining CBS, Lynch directed polling for George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, Gary Hart, Walter Mondale and the DNC.
What is Lynch’s potential political bias when she was inducted onto the Memogate team a couple of days before the broadcast?
Lynch participated in a December 2004 CSPAN panel. She agreed that the Swift Boat attacks had no basis in fact. To the suggestion that the MSM should have actually investigated what the “facts” were, before pronouncing them to be false, Lynch stated that since the public can only focus on a few sentences of a story, the MSM was justified in not investigating this “complex” Kerry story, because it would only confuse the public. That is, no investigation other than to solicit a denial from the Kerry campaign....

It's Joe Farah. I'm afraid the condition is chronic. I quit taking him seriously years ago.
