I'm so very glad to read this. It is the only way to stop the media from their (deliberate) misreporting.
Editor & Publisher manages not to mention that two other investigative teams found that these WERE mobile biological facilities. That raises obfuscation to the level of a lie, in my opinion. The Washington ComPost merely buried that little fact at the end of the column. Editor & Publisher, springing to their defense, omits it entirely.
This is getting dangerous. They are flat out making stuff up willy-nilly......because they are so deranged with hate.
I've been reading your posts on FR for over 7+ years.
I know that you're not that naive.
Do you really think that the media gives a flying &^%$ about what the WH might have to say about their latest misrepersentaion/lie/propoganda?
The WH should go further. It should DEMAND an apology and if one is not given discontinue allowing access to that news agency. I fail to understand why they don't play hardball with these SOBs. What do they have to lose right now? I'll bet their poll numbers would move up.
Don't be so harsh on Peach.
Ah yes, the Stalinist ComPost returns to business as usual, after a semi-positive Sunday editorial.
This is a new low for the media..
Peach has a long history of sound and reasonable thought and judgement.
How Peach comes to the conclusion that a simple request by the WH for an apology is what's needed to put the media in it's place is puzzling to me.
They need to be smacked.......full fisted and hard.
I have come to agree with Peach, although I have long argued with her about this. I used to think that it ws better to ignore this junk because answering it gave it some validity. As we can see from the poll numbers, this was the wrong strategy, and the White House is apparently changing course.
Scott's fighting back does two things:
1. It gives us a story, even if it is only in a trade paper and buried on the back of the Post.
2. It encourages the Republicans who have been slogging away in the trenches for so long, wondering why the President doesn't answer.
The White House needs to keep calling out the press by name, citing specific reporters, and keep hammering away. It isn't that hard to get the public riled up against the press, most thinking people have an instinctive dislike for it anyway.
But... the FAKE documents dan RATher used are REAL???
Various sources such as NY Times sources Miss Anonymous, Mr. Anonymous, Mrs. Anonymous, etc... at least one of whom if not all of them hadn't even seen the trailers.
Sure, Iraqis on the eve of war thought it an effective use of their remaining free time to scrub, bleach and paint the inside of a mere redneck hydrogen plant to make it presentable for the preinvasion looters. Wouldn't want a looter to cut himself and get tetanus or something, right?.
that is precisely what's happening.
Yes, it is and the President needs to keep on fighting the MSM with hard, cold FACTS!
'Course I guess we should forget about the non-mobile labs where bio and chem were tested on prisoners, bio seed stocks found in scientists' refrigerators, mustard and nerve gas munitions that were found, prohibited missles and uav's, enriched uranium at al-tuwaitha and parts and plans for enrichment centrifuges buried in a scientists' back yard.
