On Schultz, it sounded like the story is

[annabanana]

"this close" to breaking wide... Just one more msm source (knight ridder) away from being all over the place. This is how Leopold is describing the situation.

[MissWaverly]

1. Plus it sounded to me like they tried to jam his phone

Big Ed said that the problem was with Leopold's line, not their studio, sounded like a high
pitched squeal! Big Ed had his tech call back on another line.

[ShortnFiery]

4. Oh boy! This is getting real interesting. Scary even.

:scared:

[MissWaverly]

16. Fortunately, Big Ed was able to use another line

Some of the low budget shows would have had to do a "call back" or lose the interview completely.

[seriousstan]

6. Of course, no phone call has ever been dropped before.

Especially on a radio show. :sarcasm: :tinfoilhat:

[MissWaverly]

15. Look, I am telling you something odd as a Sirius listener

I listen to commercials for hair growth, perfect, no problems, then there is a segment on
Dick Cheney constant static, then we go back to the pundit and then everything is a okay.
I have never had trouble hearing about buying gold, vitamin supplements or make a fortune
in real estate but I have had this experience listening to segments on Cheney numerous
times. Remember than Hansen was not allowed to talk to NPR, that "lefty radio" on global
warming but he was interviewed on "60 minutes."

Hansen is arguably the world's leading researcher on global warming. He's the head of NASA's top institute studying the climate. But this imminent scientist tells correspondent Scott Pelley that the Bush administration is restricting who he can talk to and editing what he can say. Politicians, he says, are rewriting the science.
"I object to the fact that I’m not able to freely communicate via the media," says Hansen. "National Public Radio wanted to interview me and they were told they would need to interview someone at NASA headquarters and the comment was made that they didn’t want Jim Hansen going on the most liberal media in America. So I don’t think that kind of decision should be made on that kind of basis. I think we should be able to communicate the science."

17. this has happened a few times while listening to Democ Now and

left radio...always at the most 'informative' part of the interview.

[MissWaverly]

19. What a coincidence

Remember that George Bush now gets a briefing on the blogs every day.

[fooj]

2. Seriously, it's obvious by the crap these criminals are throwing

out there. They are up against the wall. IMO, they are showing HUGE signs of strain. Bring Fitz on!!!!

[AlCzervik]

3. i listened to the interview and i really, really hope that his story is

correct, i don't know that much about him but i imagine if it's all bullshit then he knows he'd be all done so he's either correct and was willing to take the risk or he got punk'd by someone and his career is all over.

[ShortnFiery]

5. I think so too ... they are pulling all the strings they can ...

but it sounds like it's real close ... real close to cracking wide open.

Let's hope and pray for the benefit of our country and the continuation of our FUNCTIONING Democratic Republic?

[0007]

7. Do you indeed think Jason's career is over is he's not right

on the timing of his story? Things do change at the last minute ya know?

I certainly don't.

[AlCzervik]

8. if he got played by someone than maybe not, if it's wrong and he knew

it than yes his career will be over.

[texasleo]

9. it's over. No question.

[BuyingThyme]

10. For those of you who didn't listen to the interview, Jason

stuck to his story, but gave little or no evidence to back it up.

He said he had some information to show that Fitz was in DC in the time in question, and that he was going to check up on the sick cat story, but he didn't do much else to bolster his case.

I don't know what to make of it. It was kind of weird, and did not come off as having anything to do with the concept of journalism.

[rodeodance]

11. are you saying that K-R is checking out Jason's story?

[annabanana]

13. Yes, according to Jason. . . .eom

[rodeodance]

14. thanks.

[katty]

12. reason why not breaking asap...Cheney to be added?getting spin ready?

[Redbear]

21. There are any number of reasons.

Most of them having to do with court procedures and schedules.

[rniel]

18. After listening there's only 2 ways this will go

#1 it was all a big setup

#2 it's real

I say that becuase I can't see why any journalist would want to ruin their reputation by making all this up.

[Justice Is Comin]

20. Ed did a terrible job

of letting him speak. Jason had so much to say and Ed babbles on about the blogs.

Why the hell didn't he shut up and let Jason give the details? Jason had an email from someone he was about to start to read that would have apparently laid out all the details about the meeting at Luskin's office, and Schultz says no he doesn't need to hear that.

We could have learned ten times more than we did if he would have just let Jason carry the conversation.

Damn these interviewers that can't shut up. :argh:
