Reply #13: Very similar behavior and worse has been reported [View All]

at the TBRNews website. According to TBRnews, a reporter in the White House has been sending them stories, which are really close to completely appalled rants, describing bizarre behavior and really off-the-wall religiosity on the part of the pResident and his staff. Recently, the reporter has sent a brief memo indicating that the White House is aware of what has been posted on TBRNews, and has gone completely and ballistically paranoid. The reported stated that he/she will be laying low for a while until the heat is off.

Also, check out their "Controlling the News" feature, allegedly written by an executive in what sounds like one of the network news divisions, describing what and why we get the news we do. It's in the form of memos to underlings. I don't know if it's true or not, but the memos, which date back at least a year, make an excellent work of fiction.

Many people claim that TBRNews is a Holocaust denier site, because it features a link to the infamous The Barnes Review, which clearly is of that ilk. However, I have had an e-mail discussion about this with the TBRNews's owner, Walter Storch, who claims that his site started as a forum to criticize and monitor the Holocaust deniers, and thus includes a link to the material that they have criticized. The photo on the home page of the website of a man with a swollen nose is David Irving, the infamous denier historian, modified to show him after being punched in the nose, according to Storch. All of this has been discussed before here on DU, so check the archives.

In the midst of writing this response, I attempted to access the TBRNews website, and nothing is working beyond the home page. Perhaps everyone in D.C. is trying to get in there. Either that or the Bushies have managed to scramble it!
