Ok, so who is to blame for the New York Times running a horrifically ill-researched and increasingly scandalous report about missing explosives???

Editor: Leaks Hastened Report on Missing Explosives
On Sunday night, New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller told Jeff Fager, executive producer of CBS’s “60 Minutes,” that the story they had been jointly pursuing on missing Iraqi ammunition was starting to leak on the Internet.
“You know what? We’re going to have to run it Monday,” Keller said.
Congratulations J o s h u a M i c a h M a r s h a ll, you made CBS, the NY Times and above all your candidate look like opportunistic hacks. If this backfires, they are going to hold you responsible.
Now, this is funny!
Ha! Hysterical!
WMD’s most likely not to be found in Iraq at all,
most probably UNDER Iraq…..

Isn’t this Marshall’s second really big screw up? What was the first?
Gee . . . and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, either.
Good going, there, Josh! Maybe President will send you a thank-you card next Wednesday, and you can treasure it always.
I believe this coincides with the theory I try to cultivate on the comment thread for CBS Wears a kick me sign, again, regarding the reason NBC ran with their original debunking story
Yeah, but the real issue is still unaddressed.
Clearly, res ispa loquitur clearly, an agency of the United Nations has attempted to influence the outcome of the election of the President of the United States!
Now THAT makes me mad.
THE NEW YORK TIMES AND CBS NEED TO BE PUNISHED. I’m tired of the manipulation that has gone on for the last 40 years. Their agenda is not for America. Maybe we should ban non–US owner ship of our media.
Repost –
– Congrats to the Red Sox….
– Big big congrats to Misha….
– Ok. Based on the “Russian” connection will we see Kerry suck it up and publicly retract the last two days of rhetorical attacks on Bush regarding the stockpile?….
Just shows how really amateurish the NY Times has become. They’ve always been sleazy, but now they’ve become sleazy and stupid. LOL. A first year journalism could have done a better researching job on that story.
IT IS ABOUT TIME WE BOYCOTT THE MSM. Can somebody find out who the advertisers are for the nightly news??? Post them and we can emial how we feel. FYI–I know what kerry meant when he said “his experience in vietnam would guide him in the war in Iraq”. 4 months and he is out of there.
OT: One of the blogs recently posted a list of all the acts of violence directed towards rnc campaign offices. I thought it was Wizbang but I can’t find it. Can anyone direct me to the right page? Thanks.
Talking Points Memo? More like Talking Point Memo. Sheesh, give it a rest, Joshua.
The problem is that he came out strong for the “story.” Now that evidence is showing that it is bogus, he is having to spin the new evidence like a top to keep it from making him wrong about his earlier statements.
Oh, it’s more than backfired. Now it’s exploding.
Man, is Karl Rove a master. He has played CBS, NYT, and the MSM like a sweet violin. LOL
Kerry’s incredible exploding NYTs fake story.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.
It’s all about character and Kerry demonstrated he has none — right at the finish line. Cool.
This whole thing was the counterspin theme by the Demos to distract and attempt to suppress the breaking Kerry-Is-Advised-By-And-Accepts-Funding-From-Terrorists issue.
Remember that? TREASONGATE, or, COMMIEGATE or thereabouts…blogs were beginning to discuss this very important aspect about Kerry and then, presto, there was this “missing weapons (and blame Bush)” meme…
So, again, the TRAITORGATE information, as has the Swiftvets information, hits home to Kerry and they splurge with spray paint when cornered. Joshua Micah…has two cans all to himself.
Marshall also spent an awful lot of time pimping the “deserter” meme. You’d think being a propaganda tool would pall if you kept getting bum stories, but not for Josh…
I think the NYT rushed with the explosives story, because the bloggers were hyping a major anti-Kerry story to come Monday morning. It did completely overwelm the Kerry-lied-about-the_Security-Council story.
I think the damage has been done to Bush. Does anyone really believe the MSM will go after the NY Slimes and C-BS for their obvious politically-motivated hatchet job? Even Fox News Channel avoids using the words “lie” or “misleading” when discussing the controversy. I was talking to someone in the gym who’s a Bush supporter and he was upset about the NY Times story. When I told him the story was debunked, he was surprised because he wasn’t aware of that. The majority of voters are not visiting the blogosphere or listen to radio talk shows. The NY Times doesn’t believe they must be honest — they believe they are the intellectual elite who are above honesty. In fact, to them honesty is an antiquated concept. Everything is relative in their world.
Eventually, their rage against Bush comsumes their critical thinking abilities and they end up getting themselves. They truly are “Tales told by an idiot, full of sound and fury”.
Hehe. I sent him an email the other day thanking him for his generous contributions to the George W. Bush Campaign…
It appears to me that the New York Times belongs in the tabloid section of the magazing rack. Do they ever print the truth? I don’t think so!
Louise
Hastings, Florida……the 2000 election we lived in California…..2004 vote will count.

Heh, *if* this story backfires?? Joshua Marshall looks like his is covered in soot to me . . .
Anyway, Bush wins the trifecta!
