The CBS Memo scandal that brought down Dan Rather?

HMMM?

Who benefits from Global Warming being a hoax? Where do the scientists that support Global Warming as a hoax get the majority of their funding?

Q.E.D’oh…

P.S. I meant to add kudos to CNN for actually sending a reporter out to check it out. Hope it was a real reporter, and CNN didn’t color the story to maintain its access to officials in Jakarta.

Can you clarify for me: in your analogy of the black convict who claimed that he found the purse in the alley, is it your opinion that he’s guilty until proven innocent because of his prior convictions? If not, then can I assume you apply the presumption of innocence to any GOP operatives that you’re accusing here? Or does that go by the wayside simply because you don’t think THEY apply presumption of innocence to criminals? So getting back to the analogy, we really shouldn’t consider the black guy innocent until proven guilty if he happened to be a person who didn’t apply those same standards to others?

Just checkin’, to make sure I understand how this works.

Now Rudi, I have to say that’s not a terribly good metric. Searching for ‘Fox liberal’ (without the quotes) gives me 1,960,000 hits. ‘CNN conservative’ (again, no quotes) gives 1,540,000 hits. Putting in the quote marks gives just 790 hits for ["liberal CNN"], while ["conservative fox"] gives 28,000 hits.

Now we hear that all the history of the right, Rove’s spreading rumors that a judge who worked with children was a child molestor and the hundreds of ugly incidents including McCain as a NV agent never happened, and that we are falsey accusing these poor innocent people.

Yet if someone got mugged and a black person convicted of hundreds of tefts was found with the purse and responded, “oh I just found this in the alle,” the right would react with national outrage to anone who said the individual might be innocent. But in theur own little games they are always the victims when caught.

Little whiners, the Republican party is dominated by thugs. They are so proud of how tough they are, but if someone calls them they declare they are so sweet.

Scum, spreading scum.

What PatHMV said. And put me in Cap’n Ed’s camp on how silly the story was in the first place. Also echo what I said in the previous thread on it–assigning sources and motivations without solid evidence is fugnuttery, and on simple timing and such it’s more likely to be strictly infighting among primary candidates.

Find the actual source used by Insight, and we’ll know something. Until then it’s yak yak.

On the other hand CNN liberal, without quotations yields:
Results 1 – 10 of about 2,030,000 for cnn liberal. (0.05 seconds)

Now how in the hell did you get your result? Incidentally both results are larger than the ones you get if you replace “liberal” with “conservative” (1,910,000 and 774).

Won’t you?

Yes, if the NYT and CNN act like Fox News did in this case then you can accuse them of perpetrating a “hit job”.
