Reply #5: The corporate media [View All]

often reports something in an isolated manner. For example, the February 13, 2006 edition of Newsweek carried a two-paragraph "article" by Michael Isikoff.It was titled: "The CIA Leak: Plame Was Still Covert." The article notes that "Newly released court papers could put holes in the defense of Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby, in the Valerie Plame leak case. Lawyers for Libby, and White House allies, have repeatedly questioned whether Plame, the wife of White House critic Joe Wilson, really had covert status when she was outed to the media in July 2003. But special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald found that Plame had indeed done 'covert work overseas' on counterproliferation matters in the past five years, and the CIA 'was making specific efforts to conceal' her identity, according to newly released portions of a judge's opinion."

Several agents of the WHIG agenda attempted to bait Wilson and others on this issue. Of course, neither he nor others with connections to this case could publicly document what her status was. The fact that Agency attorneys contacted the Department of Justice several times in the summer of 2003, requesting an investigation, should have been a clue. But, sadly, a significant portion of the American population believes the out-and-out lies told by snakes like Sean Hannity, Bob Woodward, and Newt Gingrich, because in the environment of ignorance being created and nurtured by Fox News (and many other parts of the corporate media), a lie twice repeated on the cable news is accepted as fact.
