Hume and York falsely claimed Bush fulfilled Guard service
National Review White House correspondent Byron York falsely claimed that President George W. Bush fulfilled his contractual obligation to the Texas Air National Guard. In fact, Bush's Guard records prove the opposite. In an interview with FOX News Channel managing editor and chief Washington correspondent Brit Hume on the September 20 edition of Special Report with Brit Hume, York purported to give a summary of Bush's Guard service; instead, he falsified Bush's record to make it appear that Bush had fulfilled his duty.

So where are all the twittering 24/7 "official statement" readers and "Cakewalk" frosting lickers at CNN and MSNBC when it comes time to wag a bitchy scold-finger at, oh say for instance, Fox "News" Channel's apparently endless parade of falsifications, intentionally misleading spinbites, cleverly sculpted distortions, and flat out lies? Well? Oh yeah, I forgot, too busy "examining" the fonts and proportional spacing in Ed Gillespie's latest media talking points memo. Or, sure nuff, squirming like cheap lazy whores in the lap of GOP agitprop pimp Roger Ailes.

Wolf Blitzer and Jeff Greenfield, leading CNN down the ladder one greasy rung at a time.

More FoxNoise style fear and sneer for the easily cowed: Via Isebrand

New GOP ads use old but proven tactics: spread irrational fear and gay bait. - Wed 09/22/04

Fear-mongering and division-causing drivel from a GOP radio ad: "There is a line drawn in America today. On one side are the radicals trying to uproot our traditional values and our culture. They're fighting to hijack the institution of marriage, plotting to legalize partial birth abortion, and working to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance and force the worst of Hollywood on the rest of America."
