I'm so very glad to read this. It is the only way to stop the media from their (deliberate) misreporting.

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?

Don't be so harsh on Peach.

No, the media doesn't care, but that isn't what's important. As long as the White House doesn't answer, the lie stands and falls into the public consciousness as the truth.

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.
