What was the title of that piece of crap book that Al Franken wrote a few years ago?? Something about lying liars and t he lies that they tell?
This is the kind of crud that the 527 Media present as fact. Hell it was just within the past day or so that some TV reporter was hoo-rahhing a photo, purportedly in a bikini and toting a rifle. Pity that one had been exposed as a Photoshop job before that reporter ever bit.
They are largely nothing but a pack of turds, circling the bowl that has become the mainstream of journalism in this country.

For two straight days, CNN repeated liberal rumors about Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s political record – rumors that had already been debunked by their own correspondents, as well as the respected FactCheck.org, a group led by former CNN reporter Brooks Jackson.
During Monday evening’s Election Center program, CNN’s senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin claimed that Palin "wants to ban all abortions," despite a September 2 report by his own network which included a quote from the Alaska governor that she is "pro-life... [w]ith the exception of a doctor's determination that the mother's life would end if the pregnancy continued." ...
Less than ten hours later, during Tuesday’s American Morning, correspondent Jessica Yellin, in a report purporting to give the "facts" about Palin’s fiscal record at the beginning of the 6 am hour of the program, stated that "Palin has used her line-item veto to cut funds for special interest programs called earmarks, but Democrats criticize her for slashing programs, even for people with disabilities, a group she's vowed to defend." Yellin, like Toobin, didn’t tell the whole story.[/quote]
