Drudge and the "Liberal" media drown in their own sludge |
The media certainly had a huge story last week - and promptly decided
to drop the ball.
The day after CBS's bombshell revelations, three wingnuts suggested on
their blog that their documents might have been forged.
Suddenly the Drudge Report picked up the story, and the media was off
and running.
At this point the story was being concocted out of whole cloth: the
blog reported that the documents might be fake.
Drudge reported that the blog was reporting that the documents might
be fake.
Drudge reported that CBS was holding an internal investigation.
The blog reported that "it had been reported" that CBS was conducting
an internal investigation.
Dan Rather announced that the documents were genuine.
Ergo, Dan Rather must be the culprit.
Look, here's how it works: if you're a Democrat and the public record
overwhelmingly supports the fact that you won three Purple Hearts, a
Bronze Star, and a Silver Star, it only takes a few people with a
grudge to lie about your actions and the media are all over it.
"Did John Kerry really win a Bronze Star?"
"Did he injure himself on purpose?"
"Some people are saying..." - you get the picture.
But if you're a Republican and the public record overwhelmingly
supports the fact that your dad got you into the National Guard, you
skipped out on your duties, you ignored direct orders from your
superiors, and you didn't finish your six-year obligation, it only
takes three Republicans with a website (and a lazy, complicit media)
to turn the story on its head.
Next thing you know the media is taking the word of "experts" who say
things like, "These sure look like forgeries."
Amazing how it all works, isn't it?
Oh, and a note to Judy Woodruff: shut the ***** up about Bush's
"honorable discharge."
John Muhammad got an honorable discharge from the National Guard.
In case you didn't know, that was after he was court-martialed twice,
went AWOL, and spent time in prison; and before he went on a sniper
rampage in DC, Virginia and Maryland, leaving 10 people dead.
