The bigger question, Why would CNN, FAUX etc. run with the fraud angle

[AmerDem]

based on a freeper website over a credible show like 60 Minutes?

[mbali]

1. CYA - Because they need to debunk any proof that Bush went AWOL

in order to avoid any culpability for their failure to report this story four years ago. If they can continue to convince people there's nothing to the story, they can continue to claim that they were right to ignore it.

[AmerDem]

5. yes

Time to hammer back at these fuckers!

[cthrumatrix]

15. I agree with that and they are controlled and WH message is immediate

[cheezus]

2. the same reason they kept the smearvets on so long

[John_H]

3. competition--slime the competitors. Just like Rove knew they would,

[AVID]

4. thats a rhetorical question - right?

[AlCzervik]

6. 24 hours to fill 7 days a week

and i'm sure covering the * WH is more fun than say a serious thinking WH the Kerry will supply.

[Randers]

7. It gives the people who want to believe the docs are forged

a possiblility they can/will accept - CNN/FAUX want to make their viewers "happy".

[AmerDem]

8. Well, it's now officially DEBUNKED!

Time to now hammer away at that spineless drunken weasel!

[JI7]

9. same reason they reported on Kerry's haircut cost and intern affair

they reported the intern thing as an "allegation" but the fact is they should never have mentioned it at all based on some internet site which has been proven to be biased and not reliable.

[Norquist Nemesis]

10. Because the only time they smell blood is

when it's coming from a Democrat/Liberal. :mad:

[Scorpious_Maximus]

11. Now it's out

Here's the proof folks -- of Just how far freeptards have infiltrated the media.


The night 60 Minutes aired the story, we had someone here post a freeptard thread that questioned the documents based on the typeface.

Everyone remember that?

Yeah, and now we see ABC and everyone else pulling this line.


I hate to think it's this bad, but it is.

[AmerDem]

19. did you happen to save that thread?

I see you have no search feature either. Can anyone out there hunt this thread down?

[annabanana]

12. >25% Saudi Royal family ownership.....all of them

EXCEPT CBS. They are the only ones "free" enough to do this.

[shaolinmonkey]

13. "Some people" have said that the press

are a bunch of incompetent lapdogs. But not me. Some people say that. People on my payroll.

What're you lookin' at?!

[the Kelly Gang]

14. why did they run with the Kerry / Intern love affair ??

[librechik]

16. same reason they promoted the smearboat liars

to prop up the dauphin. They don't care about lies or truth. All they care about is having the power.

[htuttle]

17. Don't you remember when CNN and Letterman went at it...

...over the boy falling asleep at the Bush rally?

CNN is entirely in the pocket of the White House -- as much as Faux. They are just trading on their former good reputation. That's the only reason people think of them differently than Faux.

[democrat_patriot]

18. Because they did nothing about the AWOL story.

60 minutes made them look stupid, by 'getting scooped'. So they spun it to get some ratings, and save face.

Also to pay homage to their true king *.
