A few years ago I was asked to do an interview with Steve Croft regarding a rogue Border Patrolman. The interview took place on our property where I had witnessed an accident the Agent was involved in. Things started off well enough with the interview but then turned ugly. I soon realized that this was going to be a hit piece on the Border Patrol and put a stop to the interview immediately. Needless to say I ended up on the cutting room floor.

I’ve been following this over at Powerline. It is an incredible story about the gross incompetence at CBS.

I think you have that wrong. Gross stupidity of the general populace makes the MSM do these things. All the MSM has to do is out it out there. Truth is not even relevant any more. It is about doing damage. They know exactly what they are doing.

Implicate the Repubs in anything made up and the populace will just believe it a gospel. Even if they retract the story it will come around November 30.

These claims are so outrageous and so anti-republican, that they must be true!

This reminds me of Jon Lovitz character on SNL Tommy Flanigan. “Karl Rove called me, and he wanted me to tail the guy and get comprimizing sexual pictures. Yeah, my good friend Karl Rove! That’s the ticket!”

Thank goodness for the internet!!!

Can you imagine how the outrageously corrupt liberal mainstream media would have been able to get away with election altering LIES had it not been for the internet warriors and heroes like this site and others like it?

It makes me shudder to think of how far these useful idiots will go to impose their agenda on the rest of us.

Fear and Loathing in the media.

Fear-mongering by the media. Loathing of the media by the intelligent people in this country.

Wasn’t it 60 minutes that screwed up with the Alar story? They’ve been downhill since then…little credibility. A lot of apple growers suffered badly because of it, and no apology was offered.

Liberal media bias? What liberal media bias? That is a fabrication in the minds of paranoid right-wing lunatics. What we have here is a exemplary case of investigative journalism, similiar to the shocking expose of American Islamophobia in Texas.

Is it any wonder why the Networks are losing viewers. It’s all about agenda. You would think that they would have realized by now that they don’t have their monopoly anymore.

What are you telling me? That I’m supposed to believe some (obviously a right-wing nutjob) lawyer sittin’ at his PC at home, in his underwear, scratchin his you-know-what, over the cascade of unbiased, fact-checking professionals at CBS’s 60 Minutes?!?! C’mon people!

This is just too bazaar. Truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction. Ms. Simpson must have some sort of a problem. I hadn’t heard of her before this story, nor had I seen or heard her. With HUGE apologies to the fine actor/entertainer, Jim Nabors, listening to her is like listening to Gomer Pyle. Gaaaawwwwllleee! Shazaa-yum! Don’t that jus’ beat awl I ever heared?!

Egad. Journalists must now be ranked even lower on the trust meter than congressmen.

Mr. Scott, one to beam up…

That would be a good description of an Obama voter, too.
