Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans

THE producer at the center of last year's "Memogate" scandal at CBS News says she was derailed by a vast right-wing conspiracy.

"Within a few minutes, I was online visiting Websites I had never heard of before: Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, Power Line," writes Mapes...

"They were hard-core, politically angry, hyperconservative sites loaded with vitriol about Dan Rather and CBS."

"This was something else, something new and fundamentally frightening," Mapes writes. "I had never seen this kind of response to any story.

"It dawned on me that I was present at the birth of a political jihad."

It is because we were not going to let the Left steal an election with a snow job of character assassination with a bunch of phony documents. Who created those, by the way?

VRWC? No the conspiracy was among Democraps who wanted to win by any means necessary. Goebbels himself would have been proud of their Big Lie. Stalin too.

All are vile despots.
