hold his cards a little closer to this chest.
I agree with 1628, just how "iffy" do websites and people want their news? Is this like, "It don't matter when Jaysus Comes, as long as he sucks us Christians off the earth, the hell with them Sinners.." to some people?
I swear, you'd grill a right winger over the coals for this, and so would I, but when it's the Left it YAY TEAM GO! WE DON'T NEED TO FREAKIN' KNOW! YAY!!!
"Oh, here we go again, with those C R A Z Y people who demand "journalists" be CORRECT, especially ones who've been canned or forced to quit over sources before.
Some People want Rove to go down SO BAD they will believe ANYTHING, and that defies Logic, complete denial, and that I have no problem with - but when THEY ATTACK those who even QUESTION the writer who's BLOWN IT, then that needs to STOP.
Admit it, Leopold was WRONG. But don't DEMAND that some believe him or attack THEIR character when he's proven himself Not Trustworthy as a journalist.
Being off a WEEK or more is okay with you, FINE, don't call me an Idiot or a FLAMEBAITER when I call HIM on it. Because he IS Wrong, and once again here's the proof.
My wife and I were putting together an answer to Will Pitt's charge that he would bet everything in his wallet that the Target Letter on or before April 26th was True. Since gas Prices are the way they are I'm willing to bet there isn't much in there.. and Leopold has made that charge TWICE since then, once in an update on Truthout, where he posted an article with the Target Letter as "GIVEN" IN the article, a known fact, which has not been reported by ANYONE else. And again on the radio Interview posted HERE, and presumably broadcasted widely.
But WE are still willing to make that bet, and if Will shows up around here again will bet a THOUSAND DOLLARS (and that's a thousand dollars to be DONATED TO THE DU BY THE LOSING PARTY, with the "proof" of a target letter, and not some 'warning', that it was a Legal Target Letter, let Firedoglake make that distinction since they are PROSECUTORS there), that there was NO TARGET LETTER as legally defined in any code Fitz will use in this case ON or ABOUT April 26th as Leopold said. If what Will says is true, that it's CONCRETE, then this is a sucker bet for him, us being the suckers, and who makes out here? THE DU DOES, they get a THOUSAND BUCKS to keep this place running, so we can DEBATE these important issues.
If the Target letter is proven to exist within those parameters when we'll gladly send the DU a thousand bucks, AND apologise Publicly to Jason Leopold for THAT ISSUE. But not for these, his radio address is once again, pure sensationalism, aimed at those so hopeful that they will suspend disbelief, and that's JUST SAD.
WE feel that Strongly about the Left be RIGHT in it's journalistic efforts, so that we are not Dismissed by the media, and instead FORCE the media to change THEIR ways.
Takebackthemedia.com was forcing sites like CNN to PUT BACK information into their articles (like the 750 words they left out of a Hans Blix report, ON WMD LONG before the war started), and the success was phenomenal, THIS is what we need to do, and THIS will MAKE NEWS and send shock waves through the media, but we can't do that with third hand information that's like a broken speaker.
We don't want to look like something you read at a supermarket checkout line, tho at this point THOSE publications make sure their sources are positive before they go to press.
Sure we all want to see ROve go to JAIL, but the recipe for that needs to tbe spotless, if Fitz practiced law the same way that Leopold is reporting from his sources then Rove and Libby would have walked a long time ago.
So now I can say, "Here we go again.." as the merciless attack against those who argue that someone should not be WRONG on this important case start using everything in their power to make a thread go away, all the way to someone accusing ME of CYBERSTALKING SOMEONE ELSE ON MY OWN THREAD - now THAT was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
