I guess it is good to be the guard at the MSM gate because you can hide the things you know from the proles.
*CBS Knew That George Bush Volunteered To Go To Viet Nam: *Even while they were putting out their false story <http://www.bernardgoldberg.com/content/2009/08/25/a-lost-fact-in-the-rathergate-mess-part-1/> about him being a slacker. Bernard Goldberg has been looking into bias at CBS for years, and just now found this: Who says? The outside panel CBS brought into to get to the bottom of the so-called "Rathergate" mess says. I recently re-examined the panel's report after a source, Deep Throat style, told me to "Go to page 130." When I did, here's the startling piece of information I found: *Mapes had information prior to the airing of the September 8 [2004] Segment that President Bush, while in the TexANG [Texas Air National Guard] did volunteer for service in Vietnam but was turned down in favor of more experienced pilots. For example, a flight instructor who served in the TexANG with Lieutenant Bush advised Mapes in 1999 that Lieutenant Bush "did want to go to Vietnam but others went first." Similarly, several others advised Mapes in 1999, and again in 2004 before September 8, that Lieutenant Bush had volunteered to go to Vietnam but did not have enough flight hours to qualify.* This information, despite the fact that it has been available since the CBS report came out four years ago, has remained a secret to almost everybody both in and out of the media --- one lonely fact in a 234- page report loaded with thousands of facts, and overshadowed by the controversy surrounding the documents. I knew that, because I learned it from a post on Donald Sensing's site. (I'd give you a link, but the site has been retired, and not all of the old posts seem to be available on his new site.) But shouldn't this have been in every newspaper, and on every TV news program? By way of the Instapundit <http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/84086/>. (I learned something else from Sensing, that I haven't seen many other places: John Kerry did not volunteer for Viet Nam, and did not expect to go there when he joined the Navy.) - 8:20 AM, 26 August 2009 [link] <http://www.seanet.com/%7Ejimxc/Politics/August2009_4.html#jrm7760> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
