1. Holy Moly....

I guess we will know when they announce the indictments TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


IT'S GOTTA BE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

13. Query:

Why does it gotta be today?

[hang a left]

19. It is just my intuition.....could be my hormones.

That picture yesterday of Cheney and Rice in the Oval Office got me thinking they may have been notified yesterday via their attorneys that they have been indicted.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

32. Nah.

Evil people look like that all the time.

[bigbrother05]

31. That would explain the Baltimore alert. n/t

[Connie_Corleone]

2. Is it a good idea to name the person before the trial begins?

[hang a left]

4. Maybe they don't care anymore....

Maybe the cat is already out of the bag, just us common folk don't know yet.

[SillyGoose]

3. These RS teasers drive me nuts. Details damn it!!

My nerves can't take much more of this...

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

9. Then ignore it.

I'm sure it will be exciting and earth-shattering and all that, but geez.

[SillyGoose]

28. You know what...this Plame story is huge any way you look at it.

I'll get as excited and on edge as much as I want. Ok?

[Just Me]

5. If true, I sure as heck hope s/he is in protective custody.

Seriously!!!

[HereSince1628]

6. Interesting...but very raw. How long until it's ready to eat?

That multiple sources do the identifying is interesting.

No one seems to know anything about what is going on with the GJ with certainty and now there are multiple sources that claim to know the snitch?

[brentspeak]

7. "No details yet"

What's the point of Raw Story and its teaser headlines? This is the second teaser headline in a row on this particular headline. Why not just wait until details are known?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

10. What's the point?

When you click on their website they make money from their advertisers. So they do this kind of thing constantly in order to generate hits.

Ain't capitalism grand?

[hang a left]

12. Give them a break for goodness sakes.

This IS the story of the century about the crime of the century.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

18. Is it?

Because it looks like a mere headline to me, as opposed to a story.

[hang a left]

23. I was talking about the Plame outing and lying us into war.

They were also right about Cheney a week before it hit the Washington Post.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

26. Please.

That story was vaguely-written tripe that could very easily have been surmised from the other stories in the news on that day.

Please use your heads, folks.

[HereSince1628]

17. because they publish headlines when the story is still raw?

I just got that from their name.

Why? Because it gets them hits that's why. Now millions of people will make multiple visits to the site. Imagine the possibilities for looking good to potential advertisers.

[RSchewe]

21. Haha. Who knows. That is the way they have operated for a while now.

Maybe it is to build hype. You would have to contact them to find that out. I guess they post the news before finishing the write up of the articles.

Possibly, they want to get the idea out fast and they genuinely feel it gets the info out faster. But like I said, I have no idea. That is just a wild guess.

Anyway, I don't mind that they do this.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

25. Now that's interesting...

I guess they post the news before finishing the write up of the articles.


That's exactly what I want in a reputable news organisation.

24. Drudge does the same thing.

Same business model I guess.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

30. Drudge does it so much better, though.

Raw Story just repackages information and dispenses rumor. Drudge is an unmedicated shithat who just makes his stuff up. Much easier and less time-consuming, probably.

[Blue_Roses]

8. this is just plain bullshit

until there is more that "sources identify" and "sources say" I say this stuff doesn't hit the radar. I hate these so-called "sources" ...

[Teaser]

15. They are trying to respect the story's authors.

It's been leaked to them by some newsroom types, as were the last few big headlines they posted. But to post the name would deny the real authors the scoop.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

22. HA!

They do this with every one of their supposed "scoops."

[HereSince1628]

27. They are trying to increase the hits on their site.

Let's be honest.

How many times do you think people visit and revisit the site because of these things? This probably doubles or triples the number of visits they get a day.

[Teaser]

36. Who says they can't do both?

As was said above, ain't capitalism grand?

[McCamy Taylor]

11. Oooo. If they have a witness, then I am changing my bet. Many

more indictments and there will me more people indicted too.

[Just Me]

14. So, now it is an "aide" rather than "senior official",...or are those,...

,...terms interchangeable? :shrug:

[longship]

16. With all these leaks, Fitz may just decide to drop the other shoe

nt

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Whoever Cheney previously feuded with, that's the source.

Of course, Cheney feuded with everybody.

[AlCzervik]

29. well Libby wanted Miller to refer to him as a "Former hill staffer" so

it could be Libby, or maybe Andrew Card, i read that piece about in the NYT and it seems there is some friction between him and Rove, seems he doesn't think Rove knows the appropiate boundries in the Whitehouse.

[ToolTex]

33. Just talk amongst yourselves.

Is it soup yet?

[eglide]

34. I'm gonna wait and see.

Rawstory has put out these teasers before and then the story was pretty ho-hum when the details came out.

[Halliburton]

35. it's John Hannah

hopefully he knows a lot about Cheney!

:wow:
