WaPo OP/ED Shills for Right: “No More Special Counsels”
October 30th, 2005

A couple of “Washington lawyers who served in the Justice Department during the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush” have offered up a load of B.S. on the indictment of “Scooter” Libby.

Their OP/ED, “No More Special Counsels” is so loaded with right-wing talking points that would serve better as something else that also utilizes the initials - T.P..

As a matter of fact, their OP/ED is so full of crap and is such a whining defense of the right-wing, all the way back to Watergate days, that I suggest sending the writers a case of this:

thread title: WaPo 10/29: a column of LIES and an op/ed of GOP talking points (SHAME!)

Compared to the Wash Post, the eight news articles and two editorials in the LA Times were far more informative and balanced and I didn't note any lies. Here's the thread on these LAT articles:

A little humor helps sometimes too!
