MSM BDS Motto:

Scream the Lie; whisper the truth.

…and divert the confused masses so that they stay focused upon reality shows, junk news, and celebrity stupidity instead of what is going on under their very noses.

Brilliant!

Scream the Lie; whisper the truth.

Tell me really, is there really a “fake but accurate” award? There must be, because they all seem to be competing for it.

Yes, a small yellow notepad should be the prize for the most egregious “fake but accurate” story, it could have “The Jayson Blair Award” stamped on its cover. But maybe that wouldn’t be fair to Dan Rather.

We went to war on faulty evidence. Bush bought into it and the Democrats [whether they admit it or not] also bought into it. However the Holy Grail for the liberals is if they can prove the Bush administration knew the intelligence was wrong while they…

What are the chances that that bastion of leftist pseudo-journalism, the Guardian, will print a correction story? About the same as the chances that the leadership of the Democratic Party will cease their treacherous sedition in their amoral quest for power. In both cases, that’s a mighty small number.

BTW….not blaming the Stripes…they use the same sources as everyone else. But it is in every PX/BX this morning.

Here is their e-edition link. http://estripes.osd.mil/

All the services are also running the AEI global warming scientist bribery stories, even tho it is complete bunk.

Now this morning we get the lying US is going to attack Iran stories.

Cannibals. That’s what they are making us…..cannibals.

The traitorous bastards screwed up by BEING CAUGHT. That’s how.

Honestly, as RightWinged noted, the media is beyond redemption. They will NOT be fair and report honestly. They refuse. And it is almost to the point that those of us on the right simply can no longer tolerate their lies.

What is it going to take to get the media to tell the truth. I’ve been listening all week to the drivel about how the REPUBLICANS killed debate about the Democrat’s anti-surge bill, when in point of fact, it was the DEMOCRATS who wanted and voted for cloture (to end debate) on the bill and vote on it. The REPUBLICANS wanted not only extended debate, but debate ON COMPETING BILLS. Did the media tell the true story? Of course not.

What are we supposed to do? Drive 12 inch spikes into their skulls in this losing attempt to “get their attention” and get them to stop lying and simply tell the truth?

I am afraid that there WILL be a backlash against the media of biblical proportions. Media credibility is at an all time low right now and getting lower. At what point will the corporate owners of the broadcast media simply shut them down because their audience drops below the point of economic viability? At what point will the print media simply fold for lack of circulation. EVERY major paper (except for, I think, the WSJ) shows signs of a readership collapse. The so-called Newspaper of Record (a nonsense claim, that’s for sure) reports such a decline in profits that their brokerage partner (who is also a major shareholder) is formenting a stockowner’s rebellion to force publisher Sulzberger out.

Even guys like me who hate the current leftist “MSM” traitors with a clear and white-hot passion understand that a free AND HONEST press is necessary for a free society. The last thing that I want is a “managed” press where the government “checks for accuracy,” but that is where we might end up. Or worse.

Anyway, you WI may strive to be as liberal as us, and they definitely seem headed that way… but we’ll always do something to one up ya. Last summer, probably when VT’s libs saw you guys in the rearview, the Burlington mayor tried to make the city a sanctuary for illegals (literally calling it a “sanctuary city”), at least the city council didn’t let that one fly.

But seriously, I honestly don’t consider Canada even “sane” necessarily, it’s just evidence of how screwed I honestly believe this country is, if Hillary gets elected.

We’ve got you beat; we already have an entire county (the one containing Madistan, the capital) all-but-officially-declared an illegal-alien sanctuary (not to mention a taxpayer-subsidized low-interest “mortgage” program available only to illegals thanks to the 21st-century’s Huey Long). Fortunately, the county exec who declared it such was about the only ‘Rat who lost a major election in November, barely losing out the attorney general’s race to a budding RINO who, when he was US Attorney for western Wisconsin (including Madistan), saw nothing wrong with said governor (and the budding RINO won rather handily over a very-active DA in the primary).

And I agree with you on how screwed we’d be with Hiliary in the Oval Office. I’ll go further and say that, unless we find the second coming of Ronald Reagan, we’re screwed.

Umm isn’t this kinda like jacking up the hood ornament and driving a whole new car underneath?

Newly Released Data Undercut Prewar Claims
Source Tying Baghdad, Al Qaeda Doubted
By Walter Pincus
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, November 6, 2005; Page A22

(long quote – worth it though)

In February 2002, the Defense Intelligence Agency questioned the reliability of a captured top al Qaeda operative whose allegations became the basis of Bush administration claims that terrorists had been trained in the use of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq, according to declassified material released by Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.).

Referring to the first interrogation report on al Qaeda senior military trainer Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, the DIA took note that the Libyan terrorist could not name any Iraqis involved, any chemical or biological material used or where the training occurred. As a result, “it is more likely this individual is intentionally misleading the debriefers,” a DIA report concluded.

In fact, in January 2004 al-Libi recanted his claims, and in February 2004 the CIA withdrew all intelligence reports based on his information. By then, the United States and its coalition partners had invaded Iraq.

Levin, ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he arranged for the material to be declassified by the DIA last month. At the same time that the administration was linking Baghdad to al Qaeda, he said, the DIA and other intelligence agencies were privately raising questions about the sources underlying the claims.

Since then, Levin said in an interview Friday, almost all government intelligence on whether Iraq pursued or possessed weapons of mass destruction has proved faulty. In addition to the allegation of training terrorists loyal to Osama bin Laden, there were government claims that then-Iraq President Saddam Hussein had stocks of chemical and biological weapons, that he had reconstituted his nuclear weapons programs, and that unmanned airborne vehicles posed a threat, Levin said.

He said that he could not be certain that White House officials read the DIA report, but his “presumption” was that someone at the National Security Council saw it because it was sent there.

Administration officials declined to comment for this article.

Levin noted in a prepared statement that, beginning in September 2002, President Bush, Vice President Cheney, then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, then-CIA Director George J. Tenet, and then-Secretary of State Colin L. Powell used the alleged chemical and biological training by Baghdad as valid intelligence in speeches and public appearances to gather support for the Iraq war.

In none of the speeches or appearances was reference made to the DIA questioning the reliability of the source of the claims, Levin said. The doubts about al-Libi were contained in the DIA’s February 2002 “Defense Intelligence Terrorist Summary,”which was sent to the White House and the National Security Council and circulated among U.S. intelligence agencies.

“The newly declassified information provides additional dramatic evidence that the administration’s prewar statements regarding links between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda represents an incredible deception,” Levin said.

Levin pointed specifically to an Oct. 7, 2002, speech in which the president outlined what he said was the “grave threat” from Iraq days before the House and Senate voted on a resolution giving him the authority to go to war.

“We’ve learned that Iraq has trained al Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases,” Bush said, an assertion that was based, according to Levin, primarily on al-Libi’s material. Other less important intelligence on the training of al Qaeda members, carried in the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programs, also came from questionable sources, Levin said.

Vermont? That explains why you think that Canada is a sane option :-)

Seriously, I have to take my hat off to your perseverence. We’re quickly heading toward your status here in Wisconsin, and I’m doubtful I’ll be here in another couple years. We’re home to the co-author of the McShame-Slimeroad Lieberal Protection Act (also the original Retreat-and-Defeater), the most-corrupt governor in the Union today (who got re-elected thanks in no small part to the ineptitude of the “Pubbies”), and we’re rapidly aiming to surprass you in taxation.

If only Australia hadn’t turned violently anti-gun,….

Ha! And would you believe I just moved back here after 5 years of living in the south? I was born and raised here and moved away for a while, but home is still home so I’m back, and it’s good living up here (clean, low crime, etc.), but ridiculously expensive, in addition to all the stuff I mentioned (civil unions before anyone, highest taxes per capita of any state in the nation, elected socialist to US Senate, etc.)

Anyway, you WI may strive to be as liberal as us, and they definitely seem headed that way… but we’ll always do something to one up ya.
