CNN's "Reliable Sources" is going after the Newsweek story

[Roxy66]

Pamela Hess said the news organizations cant function at the Pentagon without anonomus sources!!

[Roxy66]

1. David Gergen is defending Newsweek

[Cha]

11. What's David Gergen

saying in defense of newsweek?

[lolly]

2. How stupid ARE these people?

It's easy, guys. Repeat after me:

When an anonymous source burns you, it STOPS BEING ANONYMOUS!

You can say that now, can't you? Sure you can!

[Eric J in MN]

14. The source didn't burn Newsweek. He just wasn't certain

if he read about the Koran-flushing in the Southcom report or another report.

Most of us aren't certain where we read everything we know.

If journalists exposed sources every time they weren't certain of something, there would be a lot of exposing followed by few sources.

3. I love Pamela Hess!!!! First saw her on C-Span after she came back from

Iraq

4. I heard Howie the Whore

on the Ed Schultz show the other day carrying water for the chimp on the Newsweek story. How wrong Newsweek was, blah, blah, blah. I was embarrassed for Ed that he didn't know what a rw shill Howie is. A caller later tried to set him straight and he got quite defensive. What we don't need is the few radio personalities in our corner giving free air time to whores like Howie out of ignorance.

6. I watched Frum tear Isikoff a new a$$hole for the Koran story

(never mind that it is true - he is just Ratherizing him because of sourcing) and should not be forgive BUT Isikoff's work on the Clinton scandal was just wonderful, investigative, spine-tingling journalism. Meanwhile Howie is pimping for this administration so much I would not be surprised if he isn't getting a check each month. Gergen is just a schizophrenic that changes views as often as he changes his shorts. He swings both ways depending on his mood.

Everyone one of those shills conveniently overlooked the fact that the Koran flushing story has been out there for at least three years. Jeez, not only was the Koran flushed years ago, so was any type of journalistic integrity. And what makes all of this so sad, yet hilarious, is they actually take themselves so seriously. As if they think they have any credibility left.

8. ummm, Howie's wife, Sherri Annis, is a PAID Repug operative

Repug money helps the Kurtzes put food on their family.

[Trajan]

12. Putting food on their family ? ...

Heck: perhaps we should take up a collection for a table ....

[hlthe2b]

7. EXACTLY...

Ed is very naive/uninformed on so many issues that he just plays into the RW hands. That is why I worry about him moving into more tv appearances "representing" the LEFT/PROGRESSIVES-- which is clearly his desire.

[Al-CIAda]

10. Shultz is a clueless bloviator who, just as Springer , is far behind

the curve of the reality that we face.

[Cha]

13. And this same ed shultz was reported

on DU to have said that Howard Dean has his head up his ass or something similiar.

[oasis]

16. Howie did his best to throw cold water on the Gannon/Guckert story when

it first broke. He and Wolf Blitzer performed a scripted back and forth "analysis" in an attempt to defuse what should have been a red-hot news item.

[TankLV]

5. The irony of it all is simply astounding.

Never would occur to any of them to point the same "standards" towards this criminal misadministration, would it?

NAW!

[Gloria]

9. Gergen also said you can't blame the papers for the leak of

the Saddam photos....yeah, the MURDOCH papers...I wonder who "leaked" them to the Rupert Murdoch/FAUX empire to divert, divert, divert.....

I saw the very tail end of Gergen on what I think was FAUX a few nights ago and I thought he was saying how "sick people are" of all this "false reportin" a la Newsweek. But I might be wrong on that....maybe somebody saw the whole thing....

[Doctor_J]

15. All the whores are

I guess the 8 independent confirmations of the Koran desecration were all false too

Luckily onlt the * sycophants watch the MSM
