Bogus Betrayal? [New York Times (mis)identifies livid lib as disillusioned Bush supporter]

Fox News "Special Report" - "The Grapevine" ^ | 28 August 2003 | Brit Hume

[Stultis]

In a front-page story Tuesday on the President and his compassionate conservative agenda, the New York Times said that, "some religious supporters of Mr. Bush say they feel betrayed by promises he made as a candidate and now, they maintain, he has broken as president." The story relies heavily on quotes from one Reverend Jim Wallis, whom the Times describes as an, "early supporter" of the President. Wallis tells the Times Mr. Bush has, "failed the test." He is the only person in the whole story identified as a Bush supporter. But Wallis is, in fact, an ardent Democrat, who did not vote for Mr. Bush, and who edits a liberal religious magazine called Sojourners, which has consistently criticized the President and his administration. None of this is mentioned in the Times story.

Also feel free to ping me if you come across a thread you would think worthy of the ping list. I can't catch them all!

Oops, they did it again! :)

[sauropod]

I saw this yesterday.

More from "all the news that's fit to slant."

[sauropod]

Oh please.

[Stultis]

It just never stops, does it?

Uh, typical extreme, right-wing hyperbole. Of course it stops... whenever a 'Rat is elected POTUS.

[Peach]

I don't know why you're commenting as you are. I can see a few others who said things along the lines of "they lie all the time". Sheesh.

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks, Dog.

Did you see this Raven? The Times at it again, not reformed or repentent one whit!

[NutCrackerBoy]

Brit Hume LOVED sticking the knife in. It was a pleasure to see such well-done stilletto work!

Knife? Nah. Brit Hume is a Chihuahua prancing around the leg of big 'ol NYT lumberjack, taking little nips.

The New York Times:

"All the News that is Fit to Fabricate."

[nickcarraway]

Pretty soon it will be considered an ethical violation when the NYT actually prints something accurate.

[RightWhale]

It's great when the news media makes the news.

Apparently the Rev. doesn't mind being misrepresented in this duplicitous article. In fact he links to it on his website, sojo.net.

"Thou shall not bear false witness"

Sound familiar, Rev.?

[The Raven]

Wow...this is from Brit Hume???

[.cnI redruM]

If Brit Hume is a Chihuahua, his p------ on that lumberjack's leg, not prancing or nipping.

Besides, the only lumberjacks at the NYT are lumbrjacks in the Monty Python sense:

"He's a lumberjack, and he's OK..."
