1. Zahn up. Leads with summit. O'Neill 2nd.

Spin is...no spin yet. King (WH Corres)-brings up class. docs...only allegations yet...WH says nothing to do with investigation...backstabber spin...O'Neill could go to ethics committee...using Bob Woodrward to counter claims...David Frum on.

2. John King: the admin. is investigating whether O'Neill

revealed classified info.

Why will they not address whether what O'Neill is saying is TRUE?

Inquiring minds want to know.

3. King said that the Treas did this on their own.

Maybe they want to take away the threat quickly.

4. Requires knowledge on part of reporter

Edited on Mon Jan-12-04 08:16 PM by DrBB

The ideology of the media is neither left nor right, it's LAZINESS. To actually know anything, and report accordingly, requires WORK. Not just long hours, but intellectual discernment and analysis. To actually report on the substance of something like this requires a command of fact and detail that few of these blowdried bozos has any conception of. They specialize in hair styling and makeup. Hence their eagerness to report on sweaters and earth tones.

5. Maybe someone is trying to save their own ass?

He's the only one to report that to my knowledge.

8. if laziness were the only problem, there would be nothing systematic

in the slant. However, recent books and FAIR have documented that there is. Laziness and deadlines are part of the problem but the political views of the owners of big media, and their unwillingness to set them aside in order to do the ethical duty of the media, are another part.

6. Love this post from Josh Marshall

Number of days between Novak column outing Valerie Plame and announcement of investigation: 74 days.

Number of days between O'Neill 60 Minutes interview and announcement of investigation: 1 day.

Having the administration reveal itself as a gaggle of hypocritcal goons ... priceless.
