I love their 'logic' for why the NY Times should have covered it: We sent them a press release! And shit!
Lots of people who aren't news send out press releases. There's no story here, just a bunch of nutjobs.
This week's Hoyt wank is related to the endless Hillary-bashing from Rich and Dowd.

Great word. I like to say it.
Secret sheets?
NYT = AIPAC
The New York Times fired Jayson Blair for telling harmless lies and gave Judith Miller millions of dollars severance pay for telling lies that killed a hell of a lot of people.
It was no secret - I even waved.
You can't spell public editor abbreviated for html without "pube".

Well, now I know that the wave is more than just a friendly greeting!
Oh, and Bonus Critter Blogging is up.
This one is much less subtle than usual.
leibniz has initial thread hegenomy.
I saw that piece at FAIR the other day.
The meeting fell within their area of coverage, and one of them probably would have been assigned had editors chosen to staff the event. But one is on book leave, one was traveling with the secretary of defense, and one was in Iraq covering the war. The Times also did not cover an announcement the following day by Vets for Freedom, a group supporting the war and claiming more than 13 times the membership of Iraq Veterans Against the War, the group which organized Winter Soldier.
One group was emphasizing what it charged were war crimes, war profiteering and war mismanagement. The other group was protesting what it charged was the failure of the media to report more fully on signs of progress in Iraq, such as rebuilt schools and infrastructure.
Washington Post: There are only 2 sides to any discussion. The 2 sides in this discussion both are yelling at us, which means we must be doing something right.
Vets for Freedom, a group supporting the war and claiming more than 13 times the membership of Iraq Veterans Against the War,
Bullshit!
Hoyt's excuse for the Times hiring of Kristol was pretty lame too, iirc.
Instead of writing a column about why Americans don't want to hear about Iraq, maybe Frank Rich should ask about his own paper.

The difference between the two groups, of course, is that you don't have to be a vet to be a member of Vets for Freedom.
The Times also did not cover an announcement the following day by Vets for Freedom, a group supporting the war and claiming more than 13 times the membership of Iraq Veterans Against the War, the group which organized Winter Soldier.
Somehow I thinks this is bullshit.
Most Americans don’t want to hear, see or feel anything about the Iraq war. They want to look away, period, and have been doing so for some time.
Look away from what, the nonexistent media coverage? Is it possible to look away from an absence?

Just finished watching the Hammer Films version of "The Hound of the Baskervilles", with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing on RetroPlex.
Good Lord, about the only relationship to the original story is the names of the characters.
Not a badly done film, not by any means, but it's a poor retelling of the original.

Whose freedom? It's what gets me about this whole masquerade. Was our nation's continuity ever in the balance? Fuck no. It's a big reason why we were successful in WWII. It would take an invading force fucking decades, just to get to St. Louis.

NYT on a shady deal in which Iraq bought shoddy weapons from Serbia. The lie is the claim that the US don't know anything about the deal before it went down. The neocons have loved the Serbs for a long time, since they were fighting teh Muslim (and teh Clenis) before it was cool.

He's facing a tough job market. Can you imagine, with his, um, credentials?
Backers of Freedom’s Watch once talked about spending some $200 million, a figure that officials now say was exaggerated. Lending to the aura of ambition, the organization moved into a state-of-the-art 10,000-square-foot office in Washington and hired a staff of about 20, with talk of bringing in scores more for a vigorous campaign to promote conservative issues.
Behind the scenes, however, Freedom’s Watch has been plagued by gridlock and infighting, leaving it struggling for direction, according to several Republican operatives familiar with the organization who were granted anonymity so they could be candid about the group’s problems.

An injection that dramatically relieved the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease within minutes would qualify as the discovery of the decade. That is exactly what was claimed yesterday for an experimental treatment being tested in America.
Scientists at the Institute for Neurological Research at the University of California have treated around 50 patients at a private clinic by injecting an anti-arthritic drug, etanercept, into the spinal column in the neck and then tilting the patients to encourage the drug to flow to the brain.
They claim 90 per cent respond to the treatment, usually within minutes, and have released videos of patients to prove it.
