Newsmax. Drudge. Do you ever read any real news sources?

Sure, but I usually try and avoid becoming "boxed-in" by limiting
myself to the big liberal controlled media giants such as NBC, ABC,
CBS, CNN, etc.

I also take much of what is reported on 60 minutes with a grain of
salt.

Anyway, who do you think broke the Monica Lewinski story? It wasn't
Newsweek, it was Drudge.

Anyway, even assuming it's true (which coming from Drudge is about a 30%
chance) it doesn't rebut the factual claims of Richard Clarke.

30 percent accurate? That's complete nonsense. Besides, CBS already
admitted that it is true.

If you're serious about this stuff, you need to take his criticisms
seriously. Dismissing them out of hand is just pure
head-in-the-sand-ism.

??? What are you talking about? I post a link indicating a potential
conflict of interest and ethics breach by Viacom/CBS/60 Minutes and
you think I'm dismissing things?

Look, the story isn't about Clarke, rather, the story is about Viacom
and how they more or less just used 60 minutes (a news program) as an
infomercial for Clarke's book.
