Poll question: Truthout doesn't even have the balls to admit they fucked up big time!
Edited on Fri May-19-06 11:37 PM by Clarkie1
And, until they do admit it, they have about as much credibility as the National Enquirer.

1. Where's "don't care"?
Because I really don't, one way or the other.

18. Maybe they jumped the gun...like they said they did.
Maybe Fitz expressed that he was bringing an indictment before a grand jury and the story changed as it was related from person to person.

I believe there's a factual basis but I think Truthout jumped the gun.

5. Could you add a 3rd choice?
May I suggest that the whole Jason Leopold/TruthOut.org thing is a GIANT bore.

6. Reminds me slightly of this from today:

This newspaper will never be deleted from existence. Actually, its still sitting on my kitchen table.

Truthout's story, on the other hand, could still be right -- although "slightly" off on certain reported facts.

17. What would be better would be to write "I hate you" letters and mail..
them in envelopes full of dried boogers. That'd be cool. Maybe we can get them to quit publishing all together too. Yeah, fucking liars!!! Who needs one more lying Right-wing rag.
