Thanks for the response. That’s tantalizing.

Other than letter writing, I am regularly a portrait of inertia, but this has gotten me so mad I’m not going to be able to live with myself if I don’t act.

How would one do this? Create some kind of e-mail group and coordinate the timing and wording of the collective action?

They say that email petitions don’t really work. I don’t have any bright ideas. Wonder if Howie Kurtz will touch this one. NOT

I wonder if a group of thugs rushed their offices, destroying their newsroom, and editorial board offices shouting “Off The Record! This is on “Deep Background’!” would make the point! The Post is not only suporting CRIMINALS by their policies…but they seem utterly unwilling to accept the fact that their “sources” are criminals!

This is how Joe Wilson responded to Anderson Cooper regarding his critics last nite (like WaPo editorial board). This was said even before today’s totally grossly negligent truthiness crap they spewed out but still very relevant. (my bold)

Here’s the transcript segment from last nite’s Anderson Cooper’s 360 show(3/06/07) that is relevant. He had a great answer…

COOPER: You, of course, are still not without your critics.

After former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage admitted that he originally leaked your wife’s name, “The Washington Post” wrote this about his revelation. They said: “It follows that one of the most sensational charges leveled against the Bush White House — that it orchestrated the leak of Ms. Plame’s identity to ruin her career and thus punish Mr. Wilson — is untrue. And the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame’s CIA career is Mr. Wilson.”

How do you respond to that?

WILSON: Well, you know, the role of “The Washington Post” editorial board is to provide informed comment to its readers.

And what they wrote in that editorial was directly contradicted by what was reported in their news pages. When the editorial board doesn’t bother to read the news pages of its own newspaper, why should I?

Touche!

Didn’t Bob Woodward say the Libby investigation was a lot about nothing a long time ago, when he had been told by Armitage about Plame? And isn’t he a senior member of the Post management? It is no wonder the Post editorializes like it does about the Libby case–a wonderfully uncompromised
editorial and reportorial staff.

Yes – and his “performance” on Larry King Live around this issue – and how he handled the administration’s outing of a CIA covert agent (no big deal, just a bit of gossip, nothing to see – just move along) has permanently tarnished a once stellar career and reputation.

Most of us who once held him in high regard feel a great deal of disgust toward Woodward. So lumping him in with the likes of Hiatt is not a big reach for me.

Bob “groupthink” Woodward pretends to work for the WaPo but he works for himself. Woodward is a stenographer.

Yeh watertiger!

lina @ 210:

In 1972, The Washington Daily News was purchased by and merged with the competing Washington Star.

Funny, I didn’t remember that. I think in 1972 I worked in a pet shop…The Animal Hut on Wisconsin Avenue. It was later that I had the paper route. :)

guess you’re not that young afterall (smile). I graduated from McLean high school in ‘72.
