"Reporter Richard Schlesinger forgot to read that part of the script. CBS News regrets the error."

Are you kidding me? How hard is it for them to check that out? Oh, wouldn't be the first time someone could've made that argument...

Once you start lying it becomes a habit and now CBS is a liar without shame or scruples. It is also an arm of the DNC.

I have been checking the Craig's list SF political post of late,and two things stand out,well three.1)They truly believe the draft rumor,2)they are frothingly anti-jew,in a most virulent form and 3)they are as crazy as anything I have ever seen.A bitter cesspool of the highest magnitude.Whiny commie dead-heads.They plan on stopping traffic during rush hour this friday to protest again.I say make them all the felons they dream they are so they cannot vote anymore.

CBS = Corrupt Bull Sh*t - they know they were caught and did they honestly think that adding a little snip it like that would make it all better? Maybe CBS stands for Can't Believe Schlessinger or Corrupt Bloviating Scumbags.

European honeymoon won't happen for Kerry

A participant on the sidelines of talks in Berlin between Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and Richard Holbrooke, a would-be secretary of state in a John Kerry presidency, told a story about the meeting and the theme of how a Kerry-friendly Europe would leap to America's aid in bringing stability to Iraq. (Or maybe hide under the bed.)
.
"Schröder," the American said, "asked Holbrooke what Kerry would do if he were elected. Holbrooke replied one of the first things would be to get on the phone and invite him and President Jacques Chirac to the White House. The chancellor laughed out loud. Then he said, 'That's what I was afraid of.'"

The participant recalled the moment as very jolly. Everybody in the chancellor's office, including Holbrooke, a former ambassador to Germany, joined in the chuckles.
.
That was in June, when the subject was still handled elliptically. Early in September, a German official, asked privately by a visitor if Kerry's claim of good relations with Europe could get him a German military presence in Iraq, stifled a guffaw; an explicit response, but wordless, and difficult to transcribe.
.
But last week, just after Kerry's major speech on the war in which he insisted that the United States "must make Iraq the world's responsibility" and that others
"should share the burden," Schröder's sense of courtesy collided with reality and he drove a spike into the notion. He told reporters, "We won't send any German soldiers to Iraq, and that's where it's going to remain."

Looks like Kerry is living in his own "fantasy world of spin".

CBS news is one big Democrat Infomercial. If they were just honest about it and put a disclaimer at the begining and end of all news programs their ratings would go back up.

When is CBS going to figure out that now they are under the microscope and need to watch themselves? Does someone here want to ask CBS for a job fact-checking their asses? Hell, we're doing it for free now we might as well get paid for it!!

Broadcasters normally copywrite their bordcasts and the transcripts. I wonder if the original was copywrited. If so a comparison should be possible.

This is simply incredible. It's at least feasible that Ra^ther is too stupid to see obvious forgeries, and too clueless to recognize hoax emails. And he's certainly partisan enough to run with the bogus draft story.

But CBS has now moved on to actively revising their own historical record. Which is very, very scary and profoundly unethical and dishonest.

CBS News must go.

CBS hasn't learned a thing from Nixon or the Catholic church.

In both cases, the more serious, institutionalized crime was the routine coverup of misdeeds, not the misdeeds themselves. But CBS just keeps on covering up, making them more and more guilty.

Broadcasters normally copywrite their bordcasts and the transcripts.

By law, everything written/transcribed/put down on paper is automatically copywrited. There is no additioanl procedure or registration with any authority required.

Similary, painting are copywrited automatically as well.

Or so I believe.

For example, what I just wrote is copywrited. It's unclear to me whether I own it or Charles owns it (I suspect he does), but someone owns it.

OK, I have read the "transcript" and listened to the video, which is available at the cbs news site.

It's actually not called a "transcript" and it does vary here and there from the words the reporter used. No doubt CBS is aware via drudge, etc., of the issue, and will say that they are adding some language that was intended to be in the original broadcast, and that they are simply making the story more complete -- not rewriting history. That's what they will say. FWIW.

On the topic of media bias, what does this headline suggest?

No one needs to yank their license. In the end, broadcast news is a business and ratings pay the bills. In the end, Rather and CBS will be undone by this kind of news.

For the first time in its history, Fox News Channel beat the combined competition in primetime during the third quarter of 2004, with major headlines of the summer including the national political conventions and a brutal string of hurricanes.

Ultimately, the news division at CBS is going to have to face the bottom line. Their ratings are dropping like a rock, and they are facing the real threat of losing affiliate stations as well.

What will really tick off the LLL the most is that, once again, free-market forces will prevail. Capitalism is a great thing.

#15 coach: Half of them don't understand how very wrong what they're doing is, the other half think their fraud and deceit is justified. In either case, they're used to getting away with it. Who was going to narc on them? NBC? ABC? The NYT? All fellow travelers. And anyone from outside the Manhattan Politburo could count on being crushed and smeared for daring to ask "Uh, shouldn't you guys just tell the truth?"

Although CBS has standing out lately, and ABC it's moments of infamy a couple of years ago, it's been said that you're hard-pressed to tell the difference from any of the three newscasts. With their viewer numbers evaporating even as we get more citizens and TV sets, I'm suprised one of them hasn't had the stones to insist on making their news accurate and straight down the middle. It would be a rampaging success, easily distinguishible and superior to the competition. Yeah, Fox has beat them all to this punch, but their viewership is still relatively small in the evening news dept.

The news divisions have to be darn-well committed to their crusading ideology to turn down the chance to increase viewership and improve the quality of their product vastly.

#87 Thom,

Disappointing, but I'm not surprised. If there were such a film, it would have come out during at least one of Kerry's Senate races, and we would have seen it before now.

However, there are so many pictures of him at anti-American anti-war rallies, I wouldn't be surprised if there's one showing him participating in a regular flag burning.

Kerry is the one who has suggested national service for high school and college students and for senior citizens.

Reminds me of some of the rumors that went around about the Clintons. And for that matter Bush. It's probably a little too over the top even for Kerry.

I say again: Hannity confirmed the Kerry flag burning story is not true.

24 hrs rule. It is unclear what is happening. Clashes with mulla goons do not a revolution make. It may be good idea to check Iranian bloggers, this is coming from one source, so I would not hold hopes high yet.

OTOH, it may be that regular Iranians know they do not have much time--the nuke production is on the go.

I blame George W. Bush for all of this. He has introduced a revolutionary strategy in this campaign.

The strategy consists of making sure that he and his campaign don't tell lies. Its part of being a credible leader.

Then when Kerry's media running dogs such as CBS retail the democrat lies they are exposed and discredtit themselves and the Kerry campaign.

The postmodern left don't get it. They have been taught at college that truth doesn't matter any more, that its all about power. They forgot that in a democracy you need to tell the truth to get into power.

This thing goes deeper. I am sure of it.

Nobody would spontaneously form a group called "People against the Draft", because there is no draft.

I bet that the founding of this "organization" can be tied back political motivations. I'm not saying that Kerry knew about it, but I have no doubt that someone created "People against the draft" for the explicit purpose of makeing us think there is going to be a draft.

How can we figure out who is funding / organizing "People against the Draft"?

The desire to belong is a very powerful impulse. Kerry was an outsider everywhere he went. He was too poor for his school friends, too effete in the military. Now he was in the anti-war movement, you don't think he'd try to prove he was more Catholic than the Pope out of insecurity? I think it's very plausible. You're imagining him as a grown man. I'm imagining him as a pathetic, needy boy who ran home tail between his legs from 'Nam after faking injuries and was now pushing his luck and trying to get as much mileage as he could out of it.

This is outrageous. The COVERUP. By the way, I also believe and voiced here months ago that in my estimation Kerry is a dimwit. An arrogant dimwit. The reason the Dems only allude to his intelligence is because this quys grades, SATs, LSAT and IQ are in the pits.

Dianna,

It was a joke about a psychological condition a character on the show "Arrested Development" was suffering from. He wore a pair of tight denim cutoffs under everything he wore, even in the shower and in bed.

Beverly Cocco is so concerned she is involved with the organization “People Against the Draft.”

Aside from the dishonesty of tacking that onto a "transcript," I love the implication that this LLL is just an ordinary citizen who was driven to the organization by the evil policies of Bushitler. "So concerned" implies there is a legitimate basis for fighting "the (nonexistent) draft."

There's a lot of conflicting stuff about the Victorians. Frankly, I would suspect that stuff about not getting naked even while bathing wouldn't be true except in some very small sections of the public.

OTOH, if you've never seen a corset, never mind worn one, you don't understand why the Victorians were so very strange, sexually. If you have a Dickens Christmas Faire anywhere near you, you can experiment.

"We are experiencing unusual hurricane activity and tornadoes as the direct result of Bush policies refuting Kioto Accords and encouraging the raping of our environment causing world global warming.

Meanwhile sunshine and moderate temperatures continue to follow Senator Kerry as he travels the country exposing Bush as a liar, Texas Air National Guard deserter, and known enemy of children.

Forecast: With the expected election of Sen. Kerry, glorious weather will continue into the foreseeable future. If the unfortunate re-election of the dastardly George Bush interrupts the expected fair weather front, expect doom."

What bias? I'm just reporting the weather."

I think I might join a club like "People against the Draft." Can you imagine how satisfying the meetings are?

"Okay, what plans do we have this week to stop the draft?"

"There is no draft."

"Oh. Okay then. Let's go home."

LMAO! That was one of the funnier things I've heard lately.

Hubris, thy name is Rather.

Hey guys and girls

I'm trying to contact Charles via e-mail and it's not working..I've got rights to a url I'd like to donate to the cause against these rat-bastards and I need to some guidance.

Nobody at CBS bothered to mention the People Against the Draft's resolution did they?

1. We reject reinstatement of the military draft;
2. We reject other attempts to militarize our youth, or to reintroduce conscription by stealth, including compulsory "National Service";
3. We call for an end to the war in Iraq and an end to US wars of aggression; AND
4. Copies of this resolution shall be sent to local elected officials and to each member of the state delegation in Congress.

Interesting that little bit escaped the scrupulous eye of Sauron. Just another leftist anti-war group, hyped up with spam emails, and a leader's labeled by CBS as 'Republican'.

#164

One of the most successful groups around.

I'm going to form a group to fight the storage of nuclear waste in the arm of the Statue of Liberty.

#156 Cam, LMAO!

Dave, yeah, all the satisfaction of feeling you've accomplished something (like ending the draft) without any of the effort. ;)

This is the only article I could find about JFK being peripherally involved in flag burning:

Did he or didn't he?

Just a small clarification, if her letter to the editor is accurate, the organization is actually Parents Against The Draft, not People.

But who expected CBS to be accurate?

I finally figured it out...

The "C" stands for "Continuous"

as in "Continuous Bull Sh1t"

Hrmm, just saw #166 up there. Maybe they're 2 different organizations?

Maui girl. Are you on Maui?

Kuhi no ka lima,

NBC ran a draft story like this on news tonight. they did atleast mention it was sponsored by dem's in house and senate.

by running the story it puts the mere fear of it in peoples minds

Hey, with their prime time ratings so bad, perhaps the CBS evening news could be transformed into a comedy show!

Sung to the tune of 'She'll Be Coming 'Round The Mountain When She Comes'

They'll be tryin' to fool us again 'cause they think we're dumb,

They'll be tryin' to fool us again 'cause they think we're dumb,

They'll be tryin' to fool us again,
They'll be trying to fool us again,

They'll be tryin' to fool us again 'cause they think we're dumb!

The blogs will catch their deceptions one by one,
The blogs will catch their deceptions one by one,

DVD of American's beheading is hot item in Gaza

compare and contrast with:

Powell said President George W. Bush desperately wants to help create a Palestinian state for the Palestinian people to live side-by-side in peace with Israel.

What the fuck is wrong with the State Department?

Is there no depth of depravity the palestinians can sink to deep enough to lose them american support for a state?

'Scuse me? Hey, buddy, 'Scuse me???!!!
Yeah, you. CBS.

Maybe you don't hear so good.

Maybe you need to go to a doctor and get the ol' ears cleaned out. You must have a real wax build up.

Didn't we just catch you trying to pull a fast one on us a few weeks back?

Those forged documents?

Oh, yeah, now you remember.

You musta forgot we were still out here.

Well let me tell you something, see.

We're moving into the neighborhood and we're gonna be around real permanent like.

And we're gonna be watching you. Every story you tell you had better fact-check it up the wazoo first, because we're not gonna put up with any more funny stuff like you've been doing for, oh, the past 30 years or so.

We gotta real problem with the fake draft story you broadcast the other night.

Now we don't wanna hafta take you out back and get all medevial here, but our patience is wearing kinda thin.

You guys are on notice. We are gonna check, recheck, and then triple check every fact of every story you put out.

Consider it a free service.

Now I had more important things I coulda been doing right now insteada coming all the way out here and talking to you about doing your job honestly the first time around.

I coulda been playing Halo on my XBox or checking out all the neat posts at Little Green Footballs.

But no, you made it so I hadda come down here and have a talk with you.

This makes me very unhappy.

I guarantee you if I have to look you up again you're the one who's gonna be very unhappy.

Got that, chump?

consigliere to the Blog Mafia

Jacob Levitz was a founding member of "People Against the Draft". I have not been able to find too much about him. In most articles, it only says that Jacob is a writer and activist based in New York. He is involved with forming protests and says that he is a union member of United University Professions. The online magazine "Counterpunch" lists a lot of his articles along with a Marxist site. I have also seen his articles show up on a Socialist web site.

Jacob Levich is "a longtime antiwar activist and freelance journalist. He was a contributing editor of Research Unit for Political Economy's Behind the Invasion of Iraq (comparing the Iraq war to British control of India), described by Nelson Mandela as "a significant contribution to the debate" on the Iraq War. He is an administrator at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, Long Island. Jacob Levitz, whose father is Jewish and mother a Protestant, is pro-Palestine and has been involved with several petitions and protests to "stop Israel's occupation".

I can not find much else about him. I do know that he has been mass emailing those draft emails, even to Australia.

CBS wrote the book on Orwellian Newspeak. And revises it daily.

"Has CBS stepped into it again? The Bloggers are all over this on the internet. We'll cover it right after the break", says Brit.

Stepped into it? They're making it then wading in it.

From a 2 part series highlighting how BOTH candidates are flip-floppers. Here's one against GWB:

Iraq and the Sept. 11 Attacks

In a press conference in September 2002, six months before the invasion of Iraq, President Bush said, “you can't distinguish between al Qaeda and Saddam when you talk about the war on terror... they're both equally as bad, and equally as evil, and equally as destructive.”

In September of 2004, Mr. Bush said: “We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September 11th." Though he added that “there's no question that Saddam Hussein had al Qaeda ties,” the statement seemingly belied earlier assertions that Saddam and al Qaeda were “equally bad.”

The Sept. 11 commission found there was no evidence Saddam was linked to the 9/11 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

This is some weak ass shit to be throwing around. David Paul Kuhn, the propagandist at cBS, is a mental punk for this kind of 'reasoning'.

Hey Kuhn, show me where the fuck Bush said saddam was responsible for 9-11! Just ONE quote will do.
This is your number 2 Bush flip-flop? You're spinning this BS by saying AlQ is a terrorist, saddam is a terrorist, therefore GWB says saddam and AlQ are the same, and by extension he is responsible for 9-11. Then you refute this 'logic' by saying the 9-11 commission doesn't back Bush up on this point. WTF?
I am now going to take this personally. If you think I am THIS stupid, to believe bullshit like this - Fuck You and the camel you rode in on.

Lizardoids, sorry for the language, this just hit me as so very wrong. I now will do everything in my power to stick a finger in cBS' eye. These lying scumbags have dropped any figleaf of journalistic rigor and have become nothing but a BDS infested kerrytoadies.

If Parents Against the Draft is associated, as someone has earlier said, with International A.N.S.W.E.R. that makes it also associated or linked to United for Peace and Justice who were front and center of the demonstrations at the RNC Convention outside Madison Square Gardens in NYC this past summer and got themselves hauled to jail by the truckload.

This is who CBS has an "uninpeachable" source?

CBS is probably recalling the old saying: It's hard to remember exactly why you wanted to drain the swamp when you are up to your ass in little green lizards! Been lurking around LGF for a lng time, finally took the leap and posted...

On 60 Minutes tonight, C-BS tried to get NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr to make some salutary remarks about F9/11. He packed it right back to 'em. Way to go, Li'l E.

I submitted a few headlines for the Letterman contest (including the original headline for the TANG piece which has to be the winner in my mind...). My favorite was:

"Kerry: Bush executed a "secret plan" to make me look like an Oompa-loompa"

Vote early, vote often...

Great catch, Charles. My recent post predicts an 18 1/2 minute gap in last night's newscast!

[Link: nooilforpacifists.blogspot.com...]

Not just biased, CBS's Kerry cheerleading has made them stupid. Which, I conclude, is "consistent with the three rules of scandals:

1. Few recall the crime.

2. Most remember the cover-up.

3. Everyone forgets rule # 2."

This is a CBS ad dated September 22, 1945, printed in New Yorker magazine. Be ashamed CBS. Be very ashamed at what you have become.

"CBS' 18 foreign correspondents are moving quietly into new bases of operation as the swords start reconversion into plowshares, pens and plastics. One thing all radio listeners learned from them during war was that these calm and competent people had a way of posing clearly for us at home our next critical decisions, by their objective reports of the latest crirical actions
It would be imprudent and probably wrong to assume that there will be fewer decisions for us all in the days to come. It will probably be dangerous to relax the attentitiveness we acquired and developed for reliable news from around the world. These CBS people aren't relaxing; every lesson war has taught them will enrich their peacetime reporting. What's more, their candor can't be hamstrung by military censorship. This adds up to a sincere suggestionthat you continue to rely on CBS world news; it has not let you down; it will not."

Beverly Cocco is so concerned she is involved with the organization “People Against the Draft.”

Well, if she is involved with this organisation (in whatever capacity) she is certainly in a position to know perfectly well who is proposing the draft bill, i.e. Democratic congress representatives. Therefore, her involvement in the disinformation program by CBS makes her a liar twice: she trades the integrity of the 'People Against the Draft' organisation, and also consciencely participates in the deceit of public perpetrated by CBS.

I wonder if Sumner Redstone, chairman of Viacom that owns CBS is thinking...
"Gee, this CBS News division is costing loads of bucks.Now it is dragging down the corporation's reputation and soon the stock price...
Perhaps the board will agree and we shutter the News division and say we're distributing the reporters to 'local affiliates' and letting the locals handle the news--world and local news. We get an immediate boost in stock value and we off-load these troublesome dopes.
I'll bring it up to the Board after the election...'

editorial/opinion New York Post

New York Post Online Edition

Dan Rather (and CBS News) got snookered by political malcontents with an axe to grind. AGAIN!!!

Bill at INDC has an interview with several of the See-BS Evening News employee's on the draft e-mail/hoax story:

INDC Interviews CBS Evening News

Here's a real choice quote from Mr. Karas:

The truth of the e-mails were absolutely irrelevant to the piece, because all the story said was that people were worried.

Sound familiar?

"Martha, get the shotgun...the herd needs a thinin!" - Bucky Katt

Moving along from see-BS, Orin Kerr of The Volokh Conspiracy has an interesting piece about how NYTurd, WaPo and AssPress have chosen to present a recent story for the public forced feeding.

Instead of reporting how a the Southern District of New York struck down part of a 1986 law known as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, our illustrious propagandists prefer to report how the'court struck down a major part of the Patriot Act, in a blow to the Bush Administration's overzealous response to terrorism.'

It appears our MSM is fixated upon reporting more and more news as 'fake but accurate.'

Did anybody notice an omission of a highly relevent fact from the CBS interview of Mrs. Cocco? Where was this question to her:

"There are currently two bills to restart the draft pending in Congress, both introduced by members of one party; does that fact influence which party you would favor?"

Leopards don't change their spots.

Here's a post you can kick around, it is slightly OT: I think the draft is a good idea, if two things: 1.It applies to all young citizens, say for two years, at about age 20. 2. It is expanded in scope, including not only military service as one option, but other types of national service as well - plant trees, clean up superfund sites, help out at Boy Scout camps, etc. ... Am I being too idealistic here?

Ojoe

The function of the military is to break things and kill people...quickly, violently, and overwhelmimgly.

It takes almost 5 years to competently train and experience a frontline troop today...

the only thing a draft is good for is a country that wants to raise an army on the cheap that is not very effective eccept for un-willing targets for an enemy to destroy...

there are more than enough men and women in this country willing to volunteer for the military...the problem is daschle as the senate minority leader along with his fellow democraps in the senate and the house who are un-willing to raise the troop strength cap currently imposed on the services...replace the democraps in congress with conservatives and a draft will never be required!

#193

I'm waiting for See BS to do a story about the Nigerian plans to give millions of dollars to Americans.

The truth of the e-mails is absolutely irrelevant to the piece, because all the story will say is that people are willing to believe certain things without checking them out... uh...

My gut says that the Peeing on the Burning Flag story was floated by the dems to "prove" that Fox or repubs would run with a story without authenticating it too.

renna

having lived through that era there were a number of demonstrations where the VVAW burned and urinated on the flag...though away medals and otherwise acted like the idiots they were...as for kerry actually being caught on film "personaly doing the urinating activity"...I don't remeber ever seeing any...however there is a lot of photos of him being nearby or at the same protests where that kind of bullshit took place.

dusty

Oh, I remember the flag burning as well. And we know he was part of groups that did such things and at events where they took place. That's why it would be believable and therefore tempting to repeat the story without fact-checking.

But fact-check we do because otherwise, we'd just be Dan Rather.

Probably shot with a digital camcorder and there's a guy in the background wearing a YuGiOh shirt.

The Kerry flag burning story is probably just some struggling LLL Karl Rove wantabe. Even if its true we don't need it, let kerry have his fond memories of being the anti war death angel. He'll need them when Teeer$$a demands he paints her toe nails or lose his sail board solo time.
