Did anyone catch this about the "shove it" thing?

[Brian_Expat]

Turns out the guy who CNN and other media sources were describing as a "reporter" is a partisan EDITORIAL COMMENTATOR for Richard Mellon Scaife. Now I found this in about ten minutes on the Internet -- you're telling me MSNBC and CNN couldn't find the same?

Colin McNickle, the editorial page editor of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review at the center of today's Teresa Heinz Kerry "shove it" flap, went to the Democratic convention, according to a report in his newspaper last Saturday, as a "conservative commentator" aiming to infiltrate the gathering.

In its promotion of his coverage this week, the newspaper wrote, "It's a dirty job dealing with liberals, but somebody's gotta do it. ... What happens when a conservative commentator infiltrates the Democratic National Convention? An outbreak of truth."

. . . snip. . .

In a column on July 17, McNickle wrote: "John Kerry and John Edwards, two Johns pimping for a populism that can only perpetuate poverty, haven't a clue. Now there's a campaign theme, eh?" In the same column he observed: "Liberals and socialists (is there a difference?) probably are nodding their heads vigorously about now. 'Yeah, that's the ticket! Go, Johnny, Go!'"

"Reporter," my ass. Imagine if Bush had told Michael Moore to "shove off," the right wing would be cheering.

This is just another example of SHODDY fact-checking by the "liberal" media and its willingness to reprint Republican blast faxes as "news" without any corroboration.

1. Yeah, they've been smearing THK for awhile

Like they did with the Clintons.

I put up a thread with a link to the Heinz Endowment earlier, explaining their side of the story:

2. Let's start...

a new slogan: "SHOVE IT UP YOUR BUSH TO F*#K YOURSELF!"

4. okay

no sex threads though

[ClassWarrior]

10. "...you major league asshole!"

Just finishing the sentence.

[KurtNYC]

3. Since they are "partisan editorial" types also

they tend not to notice such things. Sharing their uniformed opinions is so much cheaper than investigating anything.

He should be restrained from going anywhere near the First Lady.

(okay 'future' First Lady)

8. Surely you meant uniNformed opinions, but either works.

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

5. Teresa could have reacted even angrier now that I know the details

Knowing my mouth I'd say fuck off like Cheney did, yeah I blurt out fuck too much.

[tom_paine]

6. Just the same standard smears, the same Pravda.

Like 2000 all over again.

It is unmistakable.

What's worse is that THIS TIME we KNOW what is going on yet our Leadership is too timid and Bullied to do anything about it.

[Pathwalker]

7. We should call them REPEATERS, not reporters, since

all they do is REPEAT KKKarl's talking points. Go Theresa!

9. CNN was chastising bloggers for "SHODDY fact-checking"

this morning - I think it was the Kagen woman.


:eyes:

[Brian_Expat]

11. Yeah, like I want to be lectured by the Wolf Blitzer network. . .

. . . on "fact checking."

[kodi]

14. now that is ripe, that woman makes a bag of dirt look smart

a highly visited blogg putting up info has thousands checking the facts within a hour of its presence on a site and rebuttals come in like rocket fire if the facts are wrong.......that can not be said about tv news reporting.

[ClassWarrior]

12. Time to call CNN again - here's the number.

For use this week -- CNN's viewer-comment line, 404-827-0234. Thanks to DeepModem Mom...


Talk to one of the friendly live operators!

13. She was just telling Bush what to do with his Bike!

Shove it George!
