Washington Post refuses to carry Rudy/Mistress/Tax Dollar Scandal Story
Edited on Fri Nov-30-07 05:32 PM by NormaR

And yet 2 days ago they ran a front-page story about the "rumors" that Obama is under the control of Muslim extremists and was raised in a madrassa. That story served to fuel those rumors, and made no mention of how many times they have been debunked.

6. Not unless they travel for the booty calls.
Have you SEEN the women in DC? Linda Tripp is typical.

Sheeeeit, when Helen Thomas came to DC a few years back, she was a BABE. This town chews 'em up and spits 'em out.

Just kidding Helen. I LOVE you!!!

4. Edwards is my choice... but you seem to have it exactly right about WaPo's Obama smear decisions...
Edited on Fri Nov-30-07 05:40 PM by Blackhatjack
It is reprehensible that the WaPo should be a party to the smear being coordinated against Obama on a provable, demonstrable lie. And they have had months to collect anything that supports these Obama smears, and yet they repeat the lie.

Of course you could expect them to give Rudy a pass on a demonstrably PROVABLE scandal. They could nail down the evidence without ever leaving their chairs, and yet they choose not to run even an informative review of events so far.

All Democrats should unite in condemning this kind of behavior by a supposedly respected member of the MSM.

Just shows how far things have fallen...

9. The thought of putting "sex" and "Giuliani" in the same article, let alone sentence, puts them off!

13. Now I am watching Murdoch's tentacles' reach...Neocons too (more likely here)
Of course you remember the lack of coverage of * DUI and AWOL. That's why I shudder when I hear "I hope they pick Rudy - he's so sure to lose" They forget who "won" last...

16. Just a reminder the WAPO is owned by Republican Family and
the editorial pages will naturally be framed favorably for GOP.

As much water as they have carried for Bush, are you really surprised??
