MSM is Plame Lying

Published by at 8:01 am under All General Discussions,Plame Game

I know the MSM has their agenda, and they cannot comprehend views outside their microcosmic echo chamber. But when they continue to push falsehoods and incomplete information as fact, when the truth to date and complete picture is well established, then we have a problem. I touched on this a bit here, but Ed Morrissey may have found a nearly 100% inaccurate ‘news’ article (outside getting everyone’s names right).

The Los Angeles Times runs an article on the Plame leak today that manages to avoid advancing the story with any evidence and get the existing facts almost entirely incorrect, despite a number of revelations in the past few days from grand-jury leaks and the new article by Matt Cooper. Tom Hamburger and Peter Wallsten concoct their stew of “revelations” and bad fact-checking by relying on anonymous sourcing:

Ah, there is nothing better in the morning than a cup of coffee and a grand fisking of the MSM.

Morrissey makes another good observation, though

Once again, the media completely misses the point of the Plame connection to Wilson’s disinformation campaign. Why did Wilson insist on denying his wife’s role in his selection after the Novak article?

Leaking false versions of his report and his assignment, first in the New York Times and Washington Post through other reporters and finally through an overt op-ed, smells suspiciously like a disinformation campaign.

Indeed.

    Read this post at my blog to get a possible answer for why Wilson kept denying that his wife was involved with his selection for the mission.
