CBS planned the explosives story for Election Eve

[SamSpade]

....at least, that's the front page of Drudge right now.

If this is true, there really can't be any doubt about their honesty anymore --- to INTENTIONALLY mislead the public about a cache of weapons found empty at the START OF THE WAR.

It's okay, though - Bush is evil.

Well that's just it. I *expect* dirty tricks from the Democrats. I only heard this *morning* Terry McAuliffe going off on how the missing explosives demonstrates that Bush needs to go - even though he ought to know better. But that's his job.

*CBS*, however, is "supposed" to be impartial and objective. Now I like FOX, but I know they're conservative (even though THEY actually broke the Bush/drunk driver story). However, they don't PLAN stories in order to mislead.

Rush L. is going wild over this again today. Seems CBS turned it over to the N.Y. Times because it was to important to hold until Sunday.
I always thought the news entailed who, what, why, WHEN and where. Seems the when portion was just overlooked in this case.

If I'm reading the correct article concerning this alleged loss of high explosive weaponry, our troops hadn't even arrived at the site these explosives were supposed to have taken from yet!

Up to now, I'd just seen headlines, hadn't perused any articles yet, but I assumed this was a recent event - not in 2003!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still waiting for the headline to come out this week:

Usama Bin Laden Captured



I'm thinking that the spin generated by both sides of the aisle will actually throw the earth's orbit out of whack.

Cha-ching!



Now think of all the millions of people who also assumed this - as everyone at CBS News sits smugly back in their leather chairs, wearing a ####eating grin and putting their hands behind their head and crossing their ankles on their desk.

I sent a copy of the drudge report to the Baltimore Sun and WTOP. I asked for clarification on the accuracy of the report...
