snip Drudge-esque rumor mongering

Is there a copy of this article on the web?


Chuck, there's an article on the web to support *anything*. Want proof
that the Earth is flat? That the Loch Ness Monster exists? That space
aliens have visited Omaha Nebraska? That the Masons control
everything? It's there, all you gotta do is look and then suspend
credulity while you read.

Now, if you're looking to make an informed decision come election day,
you'd do better than an annonymous article posted on usenet describing
how somebody you've never heard of reacts to unsubstantianted (and
unspecified) charges about Kerry.

Perhaps the transcript of last night's edition of 60 Minutes would be a
good place to start:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/03/19/60minutes/main607356.shtml


obski: Anyone see that photo op of Kerry skiing and snowboarding? Another
reason not to vote for him. It's just like his voting record - no
convictions, on both sides of every issue, trying to pander to everyone.


Feh. The guy went skiing. Posed for some photo ops . He skis and
snowboards, and used both while on vacation. What's the big deal?

One foot versus two. Haven't you been paying attention?

Do you have a link at an actual _news_ site?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
