The only place the word “video” shows up is in Politico’s first sentence. Everywhere else it is referred to as the “tape”. You don’t suppose it’s possible that Politico made and erroneous assumption?

Diogenes ghost is clearly a troll. Now that we know, it will be easier to "out" him.

The only thing the CBS affliates learned from the Dan Rather fiasco is that lying, cheating, fabricating, and slandering is part of the job of the newsroom.

Yes, and they learned that they can get away with it, too.

Can this be the first time to get a local license yanked for this misuse of the public’s resource?

***‘Let’s find a child molester in the crowd that supports Miller,’”

And exactly how does one go about doing that? Did they have some ‘bait’?***

What I gather is, they were going to somehow obtain a list of who was in the crowd, then they would go on line and compare the names to known molesters. If nothing else, they might have matched up someone with a common name, such as Bob Smith and they would have run with that.

"He hates Palin."

Oh really???

Nice try, but no.

I think she is one of the most charismatic politicians (let alone Republican) we have seen in years.

Would I vote for her? Yes, if she was the best candidate.

But at this time there are many others that I would prefer.

Not touting someone as the future savior of our country does not indicate hatred.

I assume you are touting Ms. Palin as that savior, so by your reasoning, you hate all other conservative politicians who could possibly be called upon to carry the mantle.

By your reasoning I hate one person, by my reasoning, you hate dozens.

Oh, you despicable hater, you!!!!

Actually what was on the tape was their discussion of going through the lists of employees and campaign workers and cross-referencing to the list of registered sex offenders, not going into the 'crowd'.

If the MSM refuses to cover it, most voters won’t know about it.

My idiot BIL in Minnesota doesn't get FNC on his basic cable package anymore, just CNN. As a result, he hadn't heard about Biggie O's big trip to India. Not a word about the wasted expense of 40 planes and the Taj Mahal completely booked up as well as rooms in another hotel.

My husband told him he should do what he had to to get some better news! Or at least some news! LOL

For years, Republicans have had to fight two enemies at the same time — RATS and the MSM.

The filthy libTURD vermin are already TRYING to weasel out of it.

“KTVA Responds to Miller Campaign Allegation

Statement From General Manager

KTVA CBS 11

Created: 10/31/2010 10:17:21 AM PDT

A press release issued Saturday October 30, 2010, by the Joe Miller campaign claims that KTVA personnel, “openly discuss creating, if not fabricating, two stories about Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, Joe Miller.” KTVA General Manager Jerry Bever says, “It’s unfortunate that this recording has happened. It’s unfortunate because it does not accurately reflect the journalistic standards of our newsroom and the garbled context will no doubt leave more questions than answers. The Miller campaign’s analysis of the recording is incorrect in many material ways ranging from personnel involved in the conversation, the interpretation of conversation snippets and the reported transcript of the perceived garbled conversation.”

“While the recording is real, the allegations are untrue,” said Bever. “The recording was the result of a cell phone not being hung up after a call was placed to Randy DeSoto, Joe Miller campaign spokesperson, Thursday afternoon to discuss Joe Miller’s appearance on that evening’s newscast. That phone call was placed near the end of a coverage planning meeting in our newsroom regarding that evening’s Miller rally in downtown Anchorage. The group of KTVA news personnel was reviewing potential “what-if” scenarios, discussing the likelihood of events at the rally and how KTVA might logistically disseminate any breaking news.”

Bever continues, “The perception that this garbled, out of context recording may leave is unfortunate, but to allege that our staff was discussing or planning to create or fabricate stories regarding candidate Miller is absurd. The complete conversation was about what others might be able to do to cause disruption within the Miller campaign, not what KTVA could do.”

While Bever would not discuss any personnel issues linked with the recording, Bever says “Have we had internal discussions about the level of professionalism we need to bring to our conversations, internally and externally? Of course we have, this is a lesson to learn from.”

To contact the Newsroom, call 907-274-1111.”
