OMG, say it isn't so. A news report that was wrong

Aren't you the guy who defended CBS to the bloody end when they "got it wrong" in the most sinister of ways a few weeks ago?

Now, Fox makes a relativley insignificant reporting error and you're trumpeting it from the rooftops. Yee haw.

CBS was duped by someone that gave them a forged document.

FOX News Anchor, David Asman, misquoted something that is easily and instantly verifiable.

I dunno, seems like a pretty big difference to me.

I bet they fell for the Nigerian bank account scam too!

Come on - they failed to validate, but it was something they wanted to establish badly enough. And then spent quite some time insisting was real.

CBS wasn't innocently duped by the forged documents; CBS news ignored their document examiners when they said that they were forgeries. Nice try though.

Funny commentary on FOX:

Bunning unaware of Iraq story
Soldiers balked at order, cited armor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Tom Loftus
The Courier-Journal

U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning said yesterday that he was unaware of reports that a unit of Army Reserve soldiers in Iraq had refused an order to deliver fuel for reasons including that their trucks were lightly armored.

"I don't know anything about that," Bunning said during a news conference after a speech he gave to the Rotary Club of Louisville.

Bunning added that Congress had approved money to upgrade body and vehicle armor. "And I believe that has all been accomplished. And I don't know about your reservists," he said. "Unfortunately, we've had some reports, but I don't know the one you're specifically talking about."

When reporters told him that the unit's refusal was a national news story and involved a soldier from Louisville, Bunning said, "Let me explain something: I don't watch the national news, and I don't read the paper. I haven't done that for the last six weeks. I watch Fox News to get my information."
------------------------------------------------------------------

I like that excuse. "I don't know anything about current events; I watch FOX!" (Of course, FOX broadcast that story as well.)

Bush, I do not thing anybody would say nobody would get hurt or killed in a war. But there are those that think Bush is that stupid as are we that will vote for him.

Perhaps he just forgot what he said.

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

"So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, to be honest with you. . . . .I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

"I don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. That's kind of one of those exaggerations."
- G.W. Bush, 10/13/04

So many terrorists, so easy to forget which ones we're after. A little slip of the mind, and I could see him forgetting what he told Pat Roberts years ago.

Not related and then......not in context. Typical tactic. But then I am a conservative. A non-thinking, lead by the nose, don't know what I am doing, need to be watched conservative.
