ok, Paul/henry- here it is: i am sorry. wnd, for once, actually quoted in context and accurately. i (again) took the half hour to find the video, play it, and compare it to the quote, and it is accurate: conservativebyte.com/2012/08/trump-renews-push-to-unseal-obama-records/nobody is interested in The Donald outside of the blogosphere, so finding him quoted by a more legitimate source is pretty much impossible (i know, because i tried). i hold you blameless for using a disreputable blog like thing for what turned out to be an accurate transcript, and i humbly apologize for dismissing wnd for being completely inaccurate. rejoice in your vindication of rightness.  having said that, where the hell did DT come up with that $4M figure?  |

Perhaps he had help from his proctologist.

To give fox some credit, Gretta on tonights show said they have seen no proof that the statement is accurate.
The problem with the news seems to take everything as fact without proper vetting of late. This is across the board.
One paper even had to admit that some articles turned out not to be true. The talking heads on tv you can tell are clearly biased toward one candidate or another. For crying out loud just give me accurate news and let me decide about the issue. I don't need their opinion.

Its turned into a group of schmucks talking to each other about something that happened several days before. Or its an entire week's or more worth of coverage on one event, and then dissecting that event until it becomes meaningless. In an hour's worth of this so-called "news" you will get maybe four news stories; three of which are over a day old already. |

Yeah. Me too. And it should be filed with the admonition often expressed here about believing anything you find floating around on the Internet.
But being dry as the desert for loose kudos, I'll take all of them anyone wants to toss my way.

karmas are like message board merit badges... something to pin on your sash for meetings and parades.

I rejoice daily in my rightness whether or not you or anyone else acknowledges it. Even a clock that doesn't work is right twice a day. The question now is, "Does that refer to wnd, Paul, or both?" ;D |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
