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 the fix from RINOland is in big time for Murkowski.”

Step back and try to view this race in perspective. First of all, no one is going to lose a primary and then win as a WRITE-IN. The write-in couldn’t succeed at this even if there was no one else on the ballot. MacAdams is on the ballot and even if she were beloved by every non-Miller Voter (assuming that is a majority) the two of them would split that vote, with McAdams getting most of it just becasue it is so much easier to vote for someone rather than go through the cumbersome write-in process.

Second, the is a big REPUBLICAN year. Republicanism, and especially conservative turnout, is going to be huge. It is also a be ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT year. Lisa Murkowski is neither a conservative nor is she anti-establishment. This would be a bad year for her and a very difficult election IF SHE WERE ON THE BALLOT. As a write-in, she has no shot. People who are pretending she has a chance are either stupid (the GOP Establishment fall in this category; after all, they don’t call it the “stupid party” for nothing) or they are trying to sell newspapers (the LSM falls in this category).

Third, if Lisa were on the ballot, she would still lose, as she did in the GOP primary. She is a TERRIBLE candidate. And don’t tell me she is polling ahead. She was polling (same polls) even further ahead in the primary (32-39 points) and lost ALTHOUGH HER NAME WAS ON THE BALLOT and she had the establishment’s support.

I hate to even spend time on Joe Miller because he is a sure winner, but I think some perspective is necessary. Murkowski cannot win. Period.

I wouldn’t be devoting resources, at least not much, to Alaska, because Miller will win this by a couple of touchdowns. The money and the resources and the focus should be on Delaware. That is where the biog upset is brewing.

I agree on the importance of Delaware and I’ve put what little money I have where my mouth is there.

Megyn Kelly live on now. General Manager of the TV station confirms that the tape is authentic but charges the Miller campaign is taking it out of context and bad to use it!! Amazing!!

Yes, there’s now way the Princess is going to win some write-in vote, and there’s not enough Democrats in the state for McAdams to win. It’s Millertime.

But...but.. Reggie Love “molests” 0h0m0 daily. Does it count to use this against the molested and his homo communist policies?

OK, forget it. Don’t ask, don’t tell.

Carl Cameron doing update on Fox now!

GM of AKTV has statement ‘unfortunate and fabrication absurd and discussion is about what others would do - not what AKTV would do’

Trying to say how they would handle a ‘what if’ scenario.

Idiot liars!

Question: Who would be the best contact on Twitter for those like myself on Twitter who might suspect voter fraud? There needs to be a standardized hash-tag to use as well for searches. If you don’t know who to contact, I understand, but I am throwing this out for anyone to answer. We need to start mobilizing and strategizing.

Instead of “fake but accurate”, it’s now “true but false”?

Not Twitter, but here is contact info:

Megyn is dissecting the AK TV statement by quoting the phone transcript that is in conflict with the GM’s press release.

Love it, she’s on top of this, LOL!

Never knew that. I thought until you posted that AK had cleaner politics just like the snow that falls up there. Sadly I am wrong. Surprised that the Dems are the conservatives up there, but then again, this year I have LEARNED A LOT in a short time.

Yeah, what others would do. Yeah, that's the ticket.
