I thought we should have a thread where we could comment on the existence or non-existence of Mr. Wilkinson.

My feelings concerning the existence of Mr. Wilkinson are summarized above. Of course, should additional information EVER be released that offers us more information then I will certainly make a public apology, and I think it might begin something like "Damn, I hate it when I've been had..."

Totally off-topic, but did you know that only about 1,000 people contribute to keep Free Republic up and running? That is out of over 100,000 registered users on this site.

How would You Feel without FR?

Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasn’t there?

Where would you get your up to the minute news? How about the live threads as things are happening?

How would you know about the latest Demorat scams, anti-second amendment schemes and all the other liberal, anti-American ploys that are tried every single day?

Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.

How would you keep on top of things without FR?

How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?

How would you be part of a Freep?

What would you do without FR????

Freedom isn’t free.

Excellent work. File this one away with my old 'Chu Hoi' and 'Get out of Jail Free' cards.

What a much of a mess this has turned into.

That's some disguise they put on Sidney Blumenthal!

Should put on there "ID Verified by Presenting a Matricula Consular card"

[My2Cents]

Hysterical. It raises a good question: Does "Blue's" Doug Thompson interview the voices in his head? They guy claims he was hoodwinked by this Wilkinson guy for 20 YEARS! Has he printed a retraction to every article where he used Wilkinson as a source?

[Sabertooth]

ping!

The European mole is a small animal with a pointed snout, large digging forepaws and very small eyes. It has a thick, velvety coat designed to help it move both backwards and forwards in small tunnels in the soil. The mole's diet includes worms, insect larvae, beetles, slugs and other invertebrates. They are active day and night throughout the year.

Hey, this is a "color only" thread! That's black and white, and line art to boot! LOL.

Ahhh...OK...nicer eyes than Kenny, though he has that
"Ya, I did Dolly Parton" look about him :)

" "Damn, I hate it when I've been had..."

Careful now. You are getting awfully close to Joe Bidens disease.

[catonsville]

He apologized for the "Bush lied" column and is removing from the site's archives all articles based on bogus spook Wilkinson.

[My2Cents]

Nice gesture, and an honest one, but now the toothpaste is out of the tube. Even as he was retracting his story yesterday, it was still showing up in publications literally around the world.

[AHerald]

Too damn funny.

It's more probable that Dennis Kucinich will be the next president than you'll have to publicly apologize to Thompson.

Games People Play

By William McKinley

"If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it?

Games people play in the middle of the night" - Alan Parsons Project, "Games People Play"

The recent fiasco experienced by the New York Times over the creative writing exploits of Jayson Blair should have served as a warning to journalists to be careful over the information they publish. A news outfit depends upon its credibility, just as surely as our society depends upon news reporting in order for people to make judgments over their own governance. Yet it appears that some lessons are not easily learned, as was recently demonstrated by some events which are to this moment still unfolding.

Doug Thompson has been involved in journalism for decades. According to his biography, he has won awards for his reporting and his commentary, and he has worked as Press Secretary for a few members of Congress. He runs a news and commentary webzine called Capitol Hill Blue. Chris Betros is the editor of Japan Today, an English Internet news publication based in Tokyo. Both men find themselves in an uncomfortable position for a journalist, where the story becomes partly about them. I can best describe William Rivers Pitt as a propagandist and a left wing agitator. On July 8th, a sequence of events commenced involving all three that demonstrates that in the aftermath of Jayson Blair, the field of journalism still has not immunized itself from the ministrations of charlatans...

"Has he printed a retraction to every article where he used Wilkinson as a source?"

Worse than that, IMO. Instead of pointing out the truth, stating which articles he wrote that might have relied on material from Wilkinson, Thompson has stated that he's deleted all the articles. There is a lot about this story that stinks, but scrubbing the record the clean is straight out of the clinonistas playbook.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Excellent! You must see this thread.

No, it actually sounds like Winston Smith hard at work.

Los Angelos? Doug/Terrance is in Los Angelos? Fox is broadcasting a car chase in Los Angelos. CHB says that Doug is taking a breather. Could he be.......?????

Nah.

[Grampa Dave]

It is a good thing that you are registered!

This is really great!

Seems to be a familial look alike between Doug and the erstwhile spook!

I hear that OJ and Bob Woodward will help Doug look for this dangerous spook!

[AnnaZ]

BTW, am I the only one who considers donning the foil when I get around this story?

[tracer]

A highly placed source who spoke on condition of anonymity just told me that Wilkinson is none other than former NYT ace reporter Jayson Blair and that he is much older than he looks.

In another breaking development, it has been revealed that he fooled the FBI and everyone else by posing as outgoing Montgomery County, MD police chief Charles Moose.

Film at 11. Back to you, Reg......

[abner]

That isn't Wilkinson, that's Taxman!

[PhiKapMom]

Way to go! This thread is fantastic. Doubt if you will be making an apology. In fact, if I were a betting person I would bet you will not!

Yes, we've all been wearing ours since Tuesday. Scratchy!

Just don't put the foil in your mouth if you have fillings.
