All The President's Liars: Where the Hell are The Washington Post and New York Times on McClellangate?!
by Steve Young | Nov 21 2007



Do the investigative reporters at the Washington Post and New York Times fall under the Writers Guild Contract? Are Bernstein and Woodward too busy in makeup? Can the WGA and Producers get together and give satirical news an exemption?

While the Writers Strike keeps The Daily Show from cleverly pointing out the obvious, The Washington Post and New York Times ignore the obvious altogether.

We've been lied to by this White House.

Who says? Scott McClellan, the guy who was paid to lie for the guys who lied in the first place.

Of course, if he really wanted to bare his soul he would have let Helen Thomas write the foreword of "What Happened: Was I Lying Then Or Am I Lying Now?"

Point is, other than blogs and the Keith Olbermann network - and the Writers Strike continuing to keep Jon Stewart, Bill Maher and Stephen Colbert on the sidelines - we're left with the right to spin an insider story of a White House coverup.

The so-called liberal Mainstream Media? Try to find the McClellan revelation in todays liberal bastions, Washington Post or the New York Times.

Wonder if Howard Kurtz will wonder how his print employer, the one that was Ben Bradlee's once proud publication during Watergate, could have been missed what should be a blockbuster tale of deception of the American people at the very highest level.

If Ben Bradlee were dead he'd be spinning in his grave.

What more PROOF does anyone need that they're a bunch of bought off, lazy, zombiepods?

But at least the ex-girlfriend of that fired cop (they dated between wifie #2-#3, #3 died, #4 missing) made page 3.

:puke:

Six years ago, it would have been on page 78 of Section D-Style.

:puke:

Progress, eh?

:puke:

it mimics some rags since the days of rupert ownership, black's abuse. However, they do break some local stories about corruption routinely. that means they still have investigative reporters. on the other hand, Bob Novak is featured there, too.

On the sidelines, too busy polishing BusCheney's shoes.

resignation.
I do believe that our task is identical here.
The tube blogs have yet another task at hand

Perhaps we could embarrass these 'fonts of info' to report on this.

Out cashing lobbyist checks?

Definitely not defending Democracy, they have ran from that for almost 8 years now!!

We have much more important things to occupy your time like OJ, Brittney and all the other delicious gossip.
Now we have the Hanna Montana concerts to entertain and occupy the snews.



:sarcasm:

:toast:

a confession of a little lying after the fact supposed to mean? They don't care. Those two rags were two of the biggest supporters a corrupt and illegitimate administration could want.

If this story has legs, they will report it eventually. With a decided RW spin and maximum cover-up for BushCo,,,, but they will report it, for what it's worth.

so, let's force it.

If you've got the time, they've got you on "ignore". ;)
