Captain’s Quarters The NYT published a piece this week claiming that the US Invasion of Iraq resulted in 98,000 Iraqi deaths since the occupation. Unfortunately, they’ve buried some vital facts deep in the study, but the Blogosphere is exposing this as another factless hit piece. Read most of the first third of this link to [...]

Instapundit.com – ‘See-BS’ News is at it again. I mentioned yesterday that they were doing stories on the Draft Hoax email, accusing Bush of a secret plan for the draft, and using quotes from a ‘mom’ worried about her kids being drafted without mentioning that this ‘mom’ is a Democratic Operative in some anti-Draft organization. [...]

FactCheck.org Draft Fears Fueled by Inaccurate E-mails FactCheck.org tears CBS to shreds regarding the draft hoax. Funny how a group like FactCheck can get the straight story relatively quickly, while Rather goes on the air with a bunch of easily debunked lies. CBS…when the Truth is too important to be checked.

Yahoo! News – Fox News beats all rivals Have I mentioned Outfoxed lately? Seriously, I’m sure some people are twisted up in fits of rage over Fox’s performance so far. It encourages me. I’m glad to see the nation is coming around and finally rejected the crap that has been substituted for news by the [...]

DRUDGE REPORT 2004 The Queen of the Space Unicorns might be deposed very soon… “And in the nation’s top market, New York, Rather finished not only behind NBC NIGHTLY NEWS and ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT — but also pulled less audience than reruns of the SIMPSONS, WILL & GRACE and KING OF QUEENS. Rather finished [...]

Just thinking more about the last post… Who would have thought that we are now in a credibility toss-up between Rather and Baghdad Bob? “There are no American soldiers inside the city…these memos are accurate, even if they are false”. I sort of expect CBS to toss them up on the screen again with a [...]

I don’t know if you guys have been following RatherGate very much, but it is rapidly turning into a comedy of the absurd. Yesterday, CBS was scheduled to release a statement at noon, then it slipped to 3:30, then it slipped to 5, then 6 rolled around and no statement. I was glued to the [...]

Allah Is In The House Keith Olberman used to be my favorite sports anchor back when I watched SportsCenter almost every night. He was sharp, funny, and cynical. Then he went to MSNBC and became…something else. I don’t watch him anymore, not when his political leanings became known. Now he is a commentator, like O’Reilly [...]

I can’t possibly keep up on RatherGate. The Blogosphere is on fire as the evidence mounts that CBS and Dan Rather have been caught in a HUGE problem here. The memos are almost certainly forgeries, and beyond that, CBS almost certainly knows they are forgeries. First, a metric ass-load of evidence. Further more, according to [...]

’60 Minutes’ Documents on Bush Might Be Fake — 09/09/2004 Ok, I am NOT jumping on the bandwagon here. I’m not ready to declare that this might be the case, because if the DNC gets caught trotting out a forged doc, then we have some pretty serious implications. I’d rather believe the typographical experts may [...]
