Great Moments in Rigorous Editorial Fact Checking
Posted by: Emperor Misha I in Idiotarians, Journaljizzm4:18 PM
Which is, you must remember, what makes the MSM so much better than us pajama-clad, basement-dwelling amateurs.
The Washington Compost, down in the dumps and longing for the Glory Days of Billy Blowjob, decide to reject reality and substitute one of their own.
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama in New Hampshire Debates.
But, before you fall down off of your chairs laughing at the Umpty-leven Layers of Rigorously Fact Checking Editors obviously asleep at the switch again, we ought to give them credit for catching their error and correcting it.
And they’re not the only ones pining for Ye Olde Days. Bill Richardson, the guy whose response to al-Qaeda murdering Benazir Bhutto was that Musharraf should step down and let Islamic extremists take over government, vowed that he, if elected President, will immediately sit down to talk with the Soviet Union.
Hopefully he’ll then have time to finally work something out with the Ottomans and the Holy Roman Empire.
No, we really aren’t making any of this up.

Those Democrats, can’t sneak anything by them! (Yes I meant to include the Washington Post, it’s a given)
Note: This is from a major news organization. Us little guys strive to a higher standard, I’ve been told I should write my articles toward a sixth-grade education level. Apparently the Post toasties couldn’t achieve even that modest accomplishment.
As for Bill Richardson, who cares? He’s not going anywhere near the White House unless as a guest.

Bill might as well do the debate, isn’t shrillary’s coronation suppose to be the flip side of the “two for one” deal we had before? At least his drawl is easier to listen to than her nagging tone.
On the Edwards tape, I noticed that neither shrillary or Silky reacted to the statement. Either they also aren’t aware of the Soviets fall, or like everyone else, they don’t listen to anything Richardson says.

We’ll I’m sure the thought of the Hildebeast’s cankles alone would keep Caesar from crossing the Rubicon.
Now there’s a campaign platform !!!!! Let’s float it out on the blogosphere and see if any suckers will bite.
Stop Rubicon Pollution-Save the Rubicon-Global Climate Change Is Destroying the Rubicon !!!!

On the Washingtonpost.com screwups, geee, can’t these guys afford fact checkers, or were they all out to lunch that day?
As for Richardson, I’d found all of the responses very entertaining. :em01: I was laughing my ass off reading them. I’m guessing that Richardson would want us to help our ally, King Harold of England, against that troublemaker Duke William of Normandy.

Will Mr. Richardson promptly sit down with the Ming Dynasty and discuss the alarming rise in lead-tainted giant pandas being sold as pet food? How about re-negotiating NAFTA with the Aztecs & Mayans? After all, those human sacrifices at Teotihuacan make the Chinese sweatshops look pale in comparison.
PS: Apologies for pilin’ on a post so shortly after this one, Mein Imperator. I had to run an errand right after starting to write mine and I ended up posting it without seeing that you’d posted something already. I’ll now retire to The Imperial

Oh now you have to let up on Richardson. He’s angling for another Cabinet post. He’s showing Old Piano Legs™ that he’s capable of ignoring the obvious and still sound like he knows what he’s talking about.

Got news for you, Sire: They ain’t the only ones.
Oy vey.

The scary thing is that, of all the Democrat presidential candidates, Bill Richardson is by any objective standard the best qualified of the bunch.
Which, alas, isn’t saying much.

I don’t know if a link to this has already been posted, but Mad Ogre George points out that Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee bears a strong resemblance to a disgraced “24″ character:

I feel a flaw in the space/time continuum…
I was expecting to read that Ghengis Khan was spotted on the Chinese border, giving Sun Tsu worries about an armed confrontation as well… Any news about Stalingrad? I heard the Russians were still holding that city…
See, that’s what happens when someone smokes somebody else’s dirty socks…

HEY!!!!
Your Rotteness!!! Please don’t sully the good name of compost. AKA “Black Gold”, by comparing it to the the “Washington Post”!!!
Compost is clean, recycled, Earth-friendly back yard-manufactured fertilizer created from useless waste material. Compost performs a useful purpose!! The “Washington Post” serves no useful purpose!!!

OK, I hate to spoil a good gotcha but Parade isn’t exactly able to do a post edit on late-breaking news. We distribute it with our Sunday paper and it comes in well before Sunday. To do that they ship it by truck to all the papers that distribute it. With shipping time and the fact it is a feature (as opposed to news) publication it may well have been printed and out the door before the assassination.
We put a notice on the front page of our Sunday paper alerting subscribers to what was going on, we couldn’t do much else because we have a contract with Parade to distribute it and we don’t have any control over the content at all. It comes in, we insert it in our Sunday paper and that’s about it. I would guess that most papers that distribute it would have done the same thing.
I would be interested in hearing from folks how their hometown papers handled it if they distribute Parade. I’d appreciate it if the loyal members of the realm would give me a shout at nevadadailysteve@yahoo.com and let me know if their local paper run it. Did they ignore it? Did they have a notice on the front page? Some other page?
