“Carefully Orchestrated”

PoliPundit

Now that we know Sandy Berger is guilty as all heck, it’s worth looking at the spin the Lying Liberal Media tried to put on the story when it first broke.

Back in June 2004, RatherBiased.com noted:

On last night’s CBS Evening News Dan Rather offered this spin on the Sandy Berger flap:

<<<

“Sandy Berger, who was National Security Adviser under President Clinton stepped aside today as an adviser to Senator John Kerry. CBS’s John Roberts reports this was triggered by a carefully orchestrated leak about Berger and the timing of it appears to be no coincidence.”
>>>

The phrase “carefully orchestrated leak” caught our attention since during the 2000 campaign, Rather had used it in blasting Republicans for a leak which he said was intended to damage Al Gore’s campaign shortly before the Democratic convention. As it turned out, Rather had once again jumped the gun without any facts since the leak proved to have originated from a Democrat.

Knowing that one of Rather’s many political double standards is his attitude toward the leaking of confidential material (anti-Republican leaks good, anti-Democrat leaks bad), we decided to look at Rather’s usage of the phrase. We found that according to Rather, the only carefully orchestrated leaks are ones that harm Democrats. Never once did he use the term to describe a secret revelation against a Republican.
