The following voice mail message was inadvertently left on the cell phone of Joe Miller campaign spokesperson Randy DeSoto.

The voices are believed to be those of the news director for CBS Anchorage affiliate KTVA, along with assignment editor Nick McDermott, and other reporters, openly discussing creating, if not fabricating, two stories about Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, Joe Miller.

The following is a transcript of a call recorded after CBS Alaska affiliate KTVA called Joe Miller’s Senate campaign spokesperson. The call failed to disconnect properly. It was later authenticated by McDermott, who sent a text to Randy DeSoto stating, “Damn iPhone… I left you a long message. I thought I hung up. Sorry.”


TRANSCRIPT OF KTVA AUDIO

FROM OCTOBER 28, 2010


FEMALE REPORTER: That’s up to you because you have the experience but that’s what I would do...I’d wait until you see who shows up because that indicates we already know something...

[Laughter]

[INAUDIBLE]

FEMALE REPORTER: Child molesters...

MALE REPORTER: Oh yes...Joe Miller’s...uh...get a list of people/campaign workers which one's the molester

[INAUDIBLE]

FEMALE VOICE: You know that of all the people that will show up tonight, at least one of them will be a registered sex offender.

[Laughter]

MALE REPORTER: We need to find that one person...

[INAUDIBLE]

FEMALE REPORTER: The one thing we can do is ....we won’t know....we won’t know but if there is any sort of chaos whatsoever we can put out a twitter/facebook alert: saying what the... ‘Hey Joe Miller punched at rally.’

FEMALE REPORTER: Kinda like Rand Paul...I like that.

[Laughter]

FEMALE REPORTER: That’s a good one.

I think Rush, Sean and Mark Levin will pick it up on Monday. This should put Joe over the top in AK. If people still vote for that Leeza Loseowski, then they truly need their heads examined.

Cell phones can be little Devils at times.

One time I called some Customer Service person and I had it on Speaker-phone mode. After the call was "over" I started talking to the wife who was right next to me.

Well, yep. You got it -- the call was NOT "OVER", nor was the Speaker-phone mode off. After A few seconds I heard the Customer Service person laughing.

'Normally' a fair amount of cussing follows any 'Customer Service' call but not this time as she was nice and actually helped me. So I just grabbed the phone apologized to her and THEN hit the "end call" button.

After that I've been veeeeery careful when I have it on Speaker-phone mode.

Fox News just had a new item with Carl Cameron. He’s a professional and could barely restrain himself from the anger he felt at them pulling the trick. They were looking to see if any convicted child molesters showed up at Miller’s rallies so they could get a story. Cameron said no candidate of either party can control who shows up at a rally and for the media to look for one or two look for a Rand Paul type of incident with a supporter is despicable. Carl was almost at a loss for words to describe the incident.

I figured someone who works at CBS could have volunteered to be the child molester.

I bet there are more than a few pedophiles working for CBS.

Moved to “Breaking” Fox News is all over this (See my #33) and Sarah’s comment about them (”those Corrupt Bastards”) means it will go viral.

At the LEAST, you Alaska Freepers should ALL write or email the station and let them know you're never watching them again. And, any businesses in the local area that advertise with them should be notified that they will NEVER get any business from them OR their friends until they drop ALL ads from that station. Then tell your friends to do the same. Heck...I'd even write the FCC and point out that they were not providing programming in the public interest and demand their license be pulled.

(OK...wishful thinking on that last one, but what the hay...it's worth a shot.)

Did anyone catch the Fox News discussion in the last hour along the lines that Republican leaders in Alaska have “given up” on Joe Miller?

I think the fix from RINOland is in big time for Murkowski.

Pennsylvania’s former Senator Rick Santorum, who supported Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in 2004 and flew to Alaska later that year to twist pro-life arms for Murkowski, has commented on the situation.

Santorum, speaking as a Fox News commentator, said that Murkowski will vote with Republicans so its OK if she wins.

The NRSC responds regarding ABC and Politico (neither of whom have any credibility):
The National Republican Senatorial Committee is pushing back against reports today that they’ve pulled away from Joe Miller in Alaska. AN NRSC e-mail just went out with the following statement from Rob Jesmer, the NRSC’s executive director: “While I’m sure ABC News enjoyed leading Politico’s Playbook this morning, it might have been more useful if they had actually taken a moment to contact the NRSC before running this inaccurate story. Joe Miller not only has the full support of the NRSC, but he’s actually featured prominently in our TV ad which is running still today statewide in Alaska.”

NRSC communications director Brian Walsh also points to their boss, Senator John Cornyn, on This Week this morning:

· AMANPOUR: “Let me ask you about Joe Miller in Alaska – our Jon Karl, political correspondent, is saying the GOP is basically giving up on Joe Miller or thinking he’s not going to win.”
SEN. CORNYN: “That’s not the case – what we have done, we are supporting the nominee of our party which is Mr. Miller.”

I suspect if he sounded a little more like Sarah Palin on Fox, he could have put this storyline to bed.

“The masks have pretty much come off this time around.”

This is what we all knew anyways. Being caught red-handed just confirms it. This goes on all around the country with the liberal media outlets.

There was a reporter that has been following the O’Donnell campaign and he said that he was appalled by the one sided reporting by the media. They just covered up the gaffs by Coons and went overboard to report anything negative about O’Donnell. I guess it was even to much for that reporter to take.
