Here's what you have falsely alleged.Message 21522270 My accurate replies here.Message 21522299 Message 21518408 And you simply repeat the same lies over & over.Message 21522323 Message 21517352 Message 21519573 Message 21522646 Message 21533610 And the facts in the article support me & discredit you. That is a fact as established in the disputed article below.....But it is not too early to assess the performance of the press. It's been appalling. Is that hyperbole? You be the judge. Have you heard that the CIA is actually the source responsible for exposing Plame's covert status? ...... .... No, you say, you hadn't heard any of that. You heard that this was the crime of the century..... ....So who is saying different? The organized media, that's who. How come you haven't heard? Because they've decided not to tell you..... ....The hypocrisy, though, only starts there. It turns out that the media believe Plame was outed long before either Novak or Corn took pen to paper..... ....THE MEDIA GOES TO COURT ... AND SINGS A DIFFERENT TUNE.... .... the media organizations confidently asserted, no crime had been committed..... Even more remarkable, though, were the key details these self-styled guardians of the public's right to know stressed as being of the utmost importance for the court to grasp — details those same guardians have assiduously suppressed from the coverage actually presented to the public.... ....As it happens, the media organizations informed the court that long before the Novak revelation.... Plame's cover was blown not once but twice..... THE MEDIA TELLS THE COURT: PLAME'S COVER WAS BLOWN IN THE MID-1990s ....Thus, the same media now stampeding on Rove has told a federal court that, to the contrary, they believe the CIA itself blew Plame's cover before Rove or anyone else in the Bush administration ever spoke to Novak about her..... ....We'd probably know the answers to these and other questions by now if the media had given a tenth of the effort spent manufacturing a scandal to reporting professionally on the underlying facts. And if they deigned to share with their readers and viewers all the news that's fit to print ... in a brief to a federal court. Message 21517337
