Page Six cites bloggers for "erroneous" sliming of Caroline while repeating it ALL

This item is a veritable treasury in the art of the slime, using language gimmicks to do what they say they are NOT doing, which is, getting the dirt out there -- all in just TWO excerpted paragraphs!1

Here are declarative senctences: She's INNOCENT!1 She DID NOT (have an affair)!1

Then, the softer "SEEMS" technique: SEEMS (to disprove)!1

And the FALSE "REASON": The dude COULDN'T be having an affair BECAUSE he already has a girlfriend!1 Uh, how does THAT work as a "reason"? Oh, but he & CK are "friends" after all!1

Makes me almost want to retract my disclaimer.

REVEALED: PINCH'S NEW FLAME

CAROLINE Kennedy is innocent - she did not have an affair with New York Times publisher Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger Jr. The rumor that their friendship was the "marriage problem" referred to by aides to Gov. Paterson couldn't be true - because the divorced Sulzberger already has a girlfriend. ....

The Pinch-Helen romance seems to disprove the speculation that flourished after Paterson's camp leaked that Caroline had "a tax problem, a nanny problem and a marriage problem." Bloggers erroneously named Sulzberger, who is friends with Caroline, as the cause of the "marriage problem." ....

DISCLAIMER RE: NY POST (for to head off predictable OT posts):: Yes, it's a wingnut rag owned by Faux/NewsCorp's MURDOCH. No, MURDOCH does NOT dictaphone content to his gossip columnists. No, "gossip" does NOT equate with "UNtrue." Yes, Cindy ADAMS is a wingnut, but swims the cocktail circuit and pals around with BOTH the Cuomos AND the Patakis and Teresa KERRY sits on her kitchen floor playing with her Yorkies. Frequently, political tidbits are in gossip rags FIRST then gain currency in more "respectable" venues. These old gossipers are more reliable than Tweety & his ilk. Keep friends close, enemies closer. Cherrypicking in an echo chamber is self-delusional. AND the only parts I read in the NY Post are the gossip and the horoscope. I got hooked on them on E!1 & only went to the Post FOR THEM when they were off the air. (Will add-on as needs transpire.)
