1. They got Busted for manipulating

the news. Happens all the damn time.

2. The New York Times...

(Yes, I have this bumper sticker.)

6. Just another low-count poster

piling on the NYT.

I'm sensing a trend today.

8. No today that person is correct. It seems that NBC, ABC, and CBS are caught doing this

[maxsolomon]

9. they're correct that it is "just another RW rag"?

there is ONE national "Right Wing Rag": the WSJ. even they have legitimate reporting.

the NYT is not the WSJ. they can be fooled by lying liars, yes. they are fallible.

[Iggo]

7. I bet you do.

[Spazito]

3. Elaina Pott, an up and coming follower of...

Judith Miller no doubt.

[BusyBeingBest]

4. Were these "voters" the ones who pitched the story and/or angle to begin with? I mean, at least
