Thursday, June 12, 2003 The Times' Designated Man in the Street

When the New York Times needs to find a man in the street to interview they never have to look very far - they have one on tap suitable for every occasion.

Thanks to a sharp-eyed Ann Coulter, one Greg Packer has been outed as the media's designated man in the street - a role Mr. Packer has played more than 100 times, Coulter discovered...

I have some new information.

You know how William Rivers Pitt said that Japan Today never asked them for permission to use the article?

Guess what I have?

William,

A while ago, Truthout did give us permission to post on Japan Today any stories on their web site. Below is the e-mail I got from them authorizing us to do so...

Dear Chris Betros,

Yes, you can reprint these stories in your publication, as long truthout is given full credit as the source.

Best Regards,

Great post RonDog. I do think Doug Thompson is Terrance J. Wilkinson. But, the CIA I.D. looks a lot like Kenny Rogers.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[Neets]

Oh brother!!!

What a story you have uncovered here William!!!

[habs4ever]

Thanks for the pingy!

Shouldn't DT try to get in touch with CNN and ask to speak to them on air to refute this personally?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Does he have that much courage?

[habs4ever]

If he is telling the truth, this is the best way to salvage his reputation, as it may put him on record as looking for his "source"...

If...but again, I don't think such a source existed in the first place.

[Grampa Dave]

Would you please repost your reply #13. The thread honoring William McKinley is back up and running.

Thanks!

Wilkinson approached him first when we worked for former Congressman Manuel Lujan

Is that a typo? Who's "we"?

[piasa]

Does anyone know of any connections between truthout.org and David Lytel, the former Clinton WH computergeek (see Oracle, etc.) who was so hot to smear Microsoft? (Note that one of the other folks out to nail Microsoft was a top dog at Intel and is now an apologist and PR man for one of the Intel's former employees out in the NOrthwest, Mike Hawash ) there was some very fishy fundraising going on with Democrats.com, and the other election night/post election mystery telemarketers who called suggestive unemployed senile aim-impaired Floridians telling them they might have voted for Buchanan by mistake...

I found on Greg Palast's site (a guy who writes for the lefty Observer in the UK and guess who, the master of misinformation, the BBC) links to two articles, one from Lytel's and Fertik's site DemocRATS.com interviewing Palast and another from Truthout.org interviewing Palast.

TRUTHOUT'S MARC ASH INTERVIEWS GREG PALAST

Well, we have a president that thinks he can take office without being elected. There are not many limits on what he thinks he can get away with, including, for example, handing out pieces of American policy to his donors. It's serious business. It's a serious business when the votes don't count in this country. So, what I was trying to do, what I had done for BBC and when I expanded the book to include a report that I had never previously published is to show exactly how Bush, the Bush family, stole the presidential vote -- and the republicans of Florida. And what we do is provide evidence which I did for investigations for BBC television and for The Guardian newspaper of Britain -- a shame that it had to be British media which had to find out who got elected president -- but you'll see that information in there, the material I have yet to broadcast and publish.

They're all as incestuous as Arkansas hillbilly hippies on Viagra. Wonder what role Mr. Palast has had this week in playing the press in the UK?

[piasa]

That is pretty curious.

[gitmo]

Excellent work! I hope someone will bring this to the forefront of the nation's attention.

[William McKinley]

It is, in fact, a typo. He, not we.

Vote for William McKinley as Freeper of the Year (vanity)

There is no official award or category as Freeper of the Year.

However, I would like to nominate William McKinley as Freeper of the Year for his incredible work this past week to expose a terrible lie about President Bush!

I hoped so. It was either that, or the pseudonymous William McKinley had a little slip-up and let on that HE's been running around with Doug and "Terrance" since 1982!

[Grampa Dave]

Thank you, kind sir!

[BOBTHENAILER]

Thanks for the Ping to this. I read the entire thread yesterday.

Superb job Wm.

[William McKinley]

Tough crowd.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks so much for the info. Great job.
