Remember the White House Fax the Last Time Joe Wilson was on Countdown?
I remember that show so very well. Joseph Wilson was on Hardball and Keith revealed a huge bomb! He actually had been faxed by the WH as to what his talking points with Wilson were to be for the show! Does anyone else remember that beauty?

I wonder if KKKarl is still faxing Keith or if he gave up long ago? I hope Keith brings it up again tonight when Joe is on. I can't wait!

5. I remember it on Countdown too. Keith said
out of all the suggested questions the white house sent him, maybe one was worth asking.

3. tweety may have done it after Keith
I explicitly remember Keith bringing it up and my jaw dropping. I know there have to be some threads in the archives about it because I chatted here on DU a long time that night.

11. One of their talking points to Matthews was Wilson's
admittance that he "did inhale". I agree with Gergen's response to that: "pathetic"

14. Gads, they don't learn do they?
They did it twice:

Once when Olbermann exposed them

and again when Tweety exposed them....

it's a one-trick pony!

10. Well, ask yourself this. Why did Scooter Libby call Tim Russert...
... to bitch about something Chris Matthews said on "Hardball"?

They're all in this together. They're still hooked up to the golden fax machine. It is abominable that the administration would fax talking points to the "independent media," let alone have the highest, most senior officials make phone calls to the most influential members of news media (ie, Russert) and presumably apply pressure on them, or threaten to deny them access to news.

Their pattern is so transparent, isn't it? To this day. Dan Bartlett just gave one helluva talking-points song and dance on Wolf Blitzer, for example.

17. KO
Once again this points out the best TV news broadcaster on a major network BY FAR is somebody that most people remember as a sports anchor.

How sad is that for the rest of the MSM.

KO's statement that it doesn't matter if she suggest Wilson or not, or if the VP's office sent him, or not. It has nothing to do with the underlying case which is, is what he said about Niger/Iraq true, and why was his wife outed.

Has anybody else heard any other MSM reporter ever make that statement. I sure haven't.
