The media continually and smugly touts that no liberal bias exists in the mainstream but will holler at the least bit of tilt on FOX behalf.
The media then pulls stunts like this as still wants us to buy their load of crap?
God I’m so pi$$ed I could spit nails!
TMMT
Okay, I know that is a waste of band-width but I just had to do it.
Un-be-li-ev-able!
To the WP/CBS ... Like our kids used to say .... "I'm telling mom your lying!"
Rush
Boortz
Hannity
O'Rilley
Keys
And any one else we can think of.
I saved a copy of the CBS story to my hard drive before they got around to changing it. If somebody wants to post it, send me a FReep mail with your e-mail address and I'll send the file.
There are only two excuses for this "mistake":
1. Incredible ignorance on the part of both the reporter and the editor.
2. A vicious all-consuming bias on the part of both, that led them to write and read what they were thinking, rather than what they knew to be fact. A truly Freudian slip...
An absolutely execrable exercise in "journalism".

Old (pre-jerked) version:
"The Washington Post said Saturday that a top-secret briefing memo presented to President Bush in 1998 focused on efforts by Osama bin Laden to strike at targets in the U.S."
The new (oblique reference) version:
... (No re-write, it was eliminated)Now there is this set of common paragraphs in both of the stories, the original, and the re-write. Who do you think the subject of all three paragraphs is as writen below?
The Washington Post reported Saturday that a 1998 top-secret briefing memo to the president was entitled, “Bin Laden Determined To Strike In U.S” and focused mainly on past efforts by the alleged terrorist mastermind to infiltrate the U.S. and hit targets here.You make the call...
The document, known as the President's Daily Briefing, underscored that bin Laden and his followers hoped to "bring the fight to America," in part as retaliation for U.S. missile strikes on al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan in 1998, the Post quotes knowledgeable sources as saying.
Mr. Bush had specifically asked for an intelligence analysis of possible al Qaeda attacks within the U.S., because most of the information presented to him over the summer about al Qaeda focused on threats against U.S. targets overseas, sources told the Post.

for links, tools, & instructions about how to contact a pile of different people, and how to send a link to this story right here ( or anywhere else ) to a "mass email" using Outlook Express.
Do be advised that since I increased my volume of mass emails to letters to editors I have gotten return volleys of virus attacks- my ISP filters them out before the get to my PC, but if yours does not, take appropriate precautions to guard your PC.
I take this as a positive- my emails are simply links with no editorial content; so the other side must fear & loath the information even reaching the public.
If you follow all the links you will find email addies for Rush, Hannity, Boortz, and a whole lot more.
Here is what it said about the thing in Colin Powell's memoirs:
"a heavy vellum brief containing the cream of overnight intelligence."
Must have been written by a fine graduate of our world-class public education system.
I like the nickname used for such folks by members of Dogbert's New Ruling Class--Induhviduals.
