From RAW STORY:
http://rawstory.comInternet ‘journalist’ Matt Drudge has posted an extremist claim posing as news on his website, The Drudge Report, which suggests that the new documents that indict President Bush’s failures in the National Guard are actually fakes.
The source of his story, Cybercast News Service, is a well-known conservative ‘news’ machine headed by L. Brent Bozell III, who also serves as the head of the Conservative Victory Committee. CNS News was founded in 1988 to combat the “
liberal bias in many news outlets”.

Mr. Bozell also serves as Executive Director of the Conservative Victory Committee (CVC). An independent multi-candidate political action committee, the CVC has helped to elect dozens of conservative candidates over the past ten years. He has also served as National Finance Chairman for the Buchanan for President campaign, and Finance Director and later President of the National Conservative Political Action Committee.
His other ‘news source’ is a conservative blogger, who sits on the board of directors for a conservative thinktank.
Powerline blog is associated with the Twin Cities Northern Alliance Radio Network, a loose association of self-avowed conservative radio shows and blogs based in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The author, Scott Johnson is an attorney based in St. Paul who is associated and has written extensively for the Center of the American Experiment, “Minnesota’s Conservative Thinktank.”
