WATCHING THEIR NOVEL GROW! Nancy Giles invented more sh*t on another inexcusable Hardball


.... What does the “press corps” actually do? As E. R. Shipp noted in March 2000, they invent different “roles” for the “characters” in their “drama,” then proceed disgracefully from there. For example, does anyone think that the press corps has “examined everything about John McCain for the slightest clue about character?” Does anyone remember the way they “examined everything about Candidate Bush for the slightest clue about character?” Bush’s DUI emerged at the end of Campaign 2000 because, for all their early growling, the press corps hadn’t bothered to check his record in Kennebunkport. Meanwhile, why was CBS still exploring (and bungling) the Air National Guard story during Campaign 04? Because, with very few exceptions, the nation’s big news orgs took a total pass on the story during Campaign 2000.

Instead, they spent their valuable time inventing bogus tales about Gore.

We examine everything about them for the slightest clue about character? In fact, here’s what they actually do: They invent “demon tales” about those they dislike, and recite “hero tales” about those they prefer. Despite this, Cohen’s claim is perfectly standard. They get to keep making this ludicrous claim because career liberals—our side’s house-broken “lovable losers”—keep accepting the things they do. ....




Readers, enjoy the irony! In his interview with Roberts, Clinton complained that his remark about Jackson had been falsely turned into a racial matter. As if to reinforce his larger point, Matthews and his gang of clowns got busy adding bogus chapters to their favorite novel. First, Matthews made clownish remarks about Clinton’s troubling body language. Then, Giles engaged in conduct normally described as “lying”—except in the “mainstream” “press corps,” of course, where making sh*t up (inventing novels) is a part of the standard culture.

By normal standards, Giles should be gone. (She should have been gone a long time ago. Matthews should have been gone by 1999.) Tomorrow, we’ll show you how an early chapter in this press corps novel was composed. Thursday, we’ll spend some time examining Matthews’ high-minded recent thoughts about race. Our question, which we’ll post to you as well: Which part of “Jesse Jackson” makes this creep think of a “ghetto?”
