1. oh my god, that pissed me off so much yesterday.
At the time, local PA sources were already calling BS, and MSNBC basically read directly from the drudge headline and said "we'll have more details later"...more details were already available debunking this garbage at the TIME, idiots.

3. And Matt Drudge? Doesn't he pride himself on "breaking news"?
I try not to give Drudge any traffic but I checked and it's still the old story

6. Well let me know when it happens.
Cause otherwise, it's gonna be smelling like that Reporter's upper lip who said that Obama's plane smelled.

7. This morning they had Smerconnish on and he thinks it is a hoax.
They also reported that the police are giving Todd a lie detector test. That doesn't sound like typical behavior towards a victim. They have all-but called her a liar. I guess they don't want to be sued.

14. That's what I've found, too.
MSNBC just has something about McCain's path to the White House or something.

24. MSNBC pushed this story all afternoon yesterday.
It's inexcusable that they're ignoring it now that she'd admitted she's a liar.

16. Andrea Mitchell is anchoring, and she REALLY sucks at it
She's rehashing the Dem primaries right now, interviewing Harold Ickes.

22. Yeah, they've been pretty skeptical of this whole thing
They've actually done a decent job reporting this, at least on their website. Not sure about the TV.

26. I was so angry I couldn't see straight when I heard this story and how MSNBC reported it.
Melissa Reyberger told it is such a dramatic almost reinactment. It was disgusting and they better right this real fast. I want the breaking news banner NOW!
