MSM is circling the wagons on this one...

the Little Green Footballs dude was on Drudge last night. He gave FreeRepublic credit for the RATher, 'superscript-scam' too. Drudge didn't know that FR's Buckhead was responsible for that coup.

I heard the interview. LGF should've corrected Drudge. Mike Drudge said that "both sides do this" and brought up the gag picture of Kerry with Jane Fonda onstage together. Mike did not say anything other than "that picture of John Kerry and Jane Fonda together". There WAS an actual photo of them together. And the left even cropped in an image of George W. Bush into that photo (which never got any press). The gag image (which came complete with an "article") appeared very briefly on FR but was seized upon by the Kerry gang to DISCREDIT the actual photo. And Corbis played a double standard by coming down on FR for deep linking to the genuine image (stored on licensee servers) and prohibited its use on FR. When I pointed out that Snopes (a leftist owned site) was HOSTING the images, their legal team contacted Snopes who added ownership info (but I seriously doubt they ever paid to license the images). CERTAINLY Corbis does not license the hoaxed image which can still be found on Snopes' website. But this is what we are up against.

Hey, we're just a bunch of bloggers sitting around in pajamas according to the Dem media........but we're good at finding the "fools gold" the media hands to the ordinary folks.

When will we get back to "reporting the news" in a truthful fashion and let the chips fall. If Rather had reported the "truth", he might have gone out intact.

Heard Rather the other day....sounds pretty insecure.
