Iraq War Watch:America More of a Threat to World Peace than Iran or North Korea – The UN-Correction
Wizbang: What Murtha Really Said
Previously we noted a controversial speech by Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) at a town hall meeting in Miami, FL, June 24, 2006. Elizabeth Baier, the reporter on the story, was forced by her editors at the Sun-Sentinel to do a hatchet job (or it was done for her) on the story in the face of an organized effort led by well funded liberal groups like Media Matters and Think Progress, and Murtha’s office that he was misquoted.
Wizbang has the video here.
The Transcript is as follows:
Just think what that does to us internationally.
On the debate on the floor of the House, and I was leading the debate on the floor, and this one fella says, “You talk about terrorism.” He says, “Ask Spain.”
Well you ask Spain. Fifty six percent of the people in Spain think it’s more dangerous, the United States is more dangerous in Iraq than Iran is.
Everyone of our allies think that the United States being in Iraq is more dangerous to world stability and world peace, every one of our allies; Great Britain, every single country… They think its more, uh, we’re more dangerous to world peace than North Korea or Iran.
That says something.
Notice how there was NO mention of the Pew Research Report.
I defy you to watch the whole video and come to the conclusion that Murtha doesn’t agree with world opinion. In fact in his closing he states that he’s counting on it to push his pullout scenario.
The revised story at the Sun-Sentinel is an amalgamation of the original report and the Murtha press release, in short a disaster.
Perhaps they would like to give it one more shot, and just report what Murtha said…
Update: Will the Sun-Sentinel revise their story yet again? And a better question is why did they do a hatchet job on the original story, introducing information directly from Murtha and his supporters into the coverage, with no sourcing? They hung their own reporter out to dry. At this point the story is less about the content of Murtha’s remarks than the campaign by David Brock’s, Soros-funded Media Matters, and others to change the reporting of the story without providing all the facts.
And now Jack Murtha’s GOP opponent has picked up on the story.
Diana Irey for Congress: Just What DID Jack Murtha Say About The U.S. Posing a Greater Danger to World Peace Than Iran or North Korea?
Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey – responding to Jack Murtha’s lame defense of comments he made in Florida on June 24 – today released the following statement:
“Is Jack Murtha now channeling Marty McFly, the hero of ‘Back to the Future?’ Is he now traveling in a souped-up DeLorean, popping forward in time? Or is he, rather, channeling George Orwell, dropping negative information down some sort of ‘memory hole’ to which he and only he has magical and mysterious access?
There appears to be a concerted, orchestrated effort to twist the facts on Congressman Murtha’s statements, retractions,newspaper corrections and/or omissions.
Isn’t it time for Jack to hold a news conference and address this issue directly?
Congressman, what did you say and when did you say it?

Daily Kos Watch: Kos Melts Down Over New Republic Disclosure FLAP
Graphic Courtesy of San Francisco Chronicle
Daily Kos: TNR’s defection to the Right is now complete
Ludicrous, all of it, but that’s the new rules of the game. TNR and its enablers are feeling the heat of their own irrelevance and this is how they fight it — by undermining the progressive movement. Zengerle has made common cause with the wingnutosphere, using the laughable “kosola” frame they created and emailing his “scoops” to them for links. This is what the once-proud New Republic has evolved into — just another cog of the Vast RIGHT Wing Conspiracy.
If you still hold a subscription to that magazine, it really is time to call it quits. If you see it in a magazine rack, you might as well move it behind the National Review or even NewsMax, since that’s who they want to be associated with these days.
What is the Flap for Kos to tell all of his Leftie Nutters to quit TNR?
Well it is PAY TO PLAY.
And The New Republic called him out…….
Hugh Hewitt has Splitter!
Kos goes Life of Brian on The New Republic.
Now, does Kos’ line about the magazine’s “Lieberman-worshipping neocon owners” get close to whispering “the Jooos did it”?
DailyKos is home to anti-Semitic cartoons after all.
Yesterday I posted on Kos’ refusal to repudiate his disgusting “screw them” comment and the absurd defense he offered of it. Today’s outburst is another marker on his road to irrelevance. Whether Democratic Party leaders want to follow him there is up to them, but they should be on record about his post today.
So, how about it LEFT?
How will you rationalize this “ATTEMPTED COVER UP?”
Markos Moulitsas “Screw Them†Zuniga and U.S Senate candidate Ned Lamont in Hartford.
How much has the Lamont campaign paid you to hype his candidacy?

Daily Kos Watch: Pay to Play in the Blogosphere?
Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos
“My only sources of revenue are this site (advertising and subscriptions), some freelance writings in places like the American Prospect, and CTG (eventually. It takes publishers ages to send out royalty checks). At some point in the future, SportsBlogs will be a source of revenue, but it’s nowhere near that point yet. No politician, campaign, issue group, nor any other organization has directly or indirectly paid me for anything.”
The New Republic: THE BLOGOSPHERE’S SMOKE-FILLED BACKROOM:
Are Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas (of the famous Daily Kos) engaged in a pay-for-play scheme in which politicians who hire Armstrong as a consultant get the support of Kos? That’s the question that’s been bouncing around the blogosphere ever since The New York Times‘s Chris Suellentrop broke the news last Friday about a 2000 run-in Armstrong had with the Securities and Exchange Commission over alleged stock touting. But Armstrong, Kos, and other big-time liberal bloggers have almost entirely ignored the issue, which is a bit surprising considering their tendency to rapidly respond to even the smallest criticism.
Why the strange silence in the face of such damning allegations? Well, I think we now know the answer. It’s a deliberate strategy orchestrated by Kos. TNR obtained a missive Kos sent earlier this week to “Townhouse,” a private email list comprising elite liberal bloggers, including Jane Hamsher, Matt Stoller, and Christy Hardin Smith. And what was Kos’s message to this group that secretly plots strategy in the digital equivalent of a smoke-filled backroom? Stay mum!
Glenn Reynold has THE BLOGOSPHERE’S “SMOKE-FILLED BACKROOM:”
As usual, I wasn’t invited, but then I don’t smoke that stuff. As for the scandal aspects, well, this seems to me like politics as usual. Perhaps, following Kinsley’s Law, that’s the real scandal, but — except to the extent, probably small, that this causes Kos’s readers to lose faith in him as something new and special — I don’t see a big
scandal in this, though I can’t help noting that if something like this were going on on the right, the bloggers of the “Townhouse” list would probably be somewhat less charitable.But remember — it’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up!
Well, it is typical and disclosures are important.
Is Kos being paid? And by whom?
Remember when Armstrong Williams, a syndicated columnist and conservative commentator failed to disclose that he was paid $241,000 by the U.S. Department of Education to promote the No Child Left Behind Act. and all hell broke loose in the media world.
Is Kos ethically dishonest like Armstrong?
Hard to say ,yet. But Kos is sure attempting to “starve the story of oxygen.”
Why?

Apple v. Does Confidential Sources in the Blogopshere Watch: Bloggers WIN – Redux – Bloggers are Journalists
Hugh Hewitt: Bloggers are Journalists (at least in California).For your convenience, a long excerpt from the opinion from California’s Sixth Appellate Court in O’Grady v. The Superior Court of Santa Clara County, holding that bloggers and their blogs are covered by California’s Reporter’s Shield Law:
Thanks to Hugh for bringing this to the forefront again.
But, thanks to the efforts of the Bear Flag League on May 26th California Bloggers officially became journalists.
Flap reprints his post of this day: Apple v. Does Confidential Sources in the Blogopshere Watch: Bloggers WIN
The Southern California Law Blog: Bloggers Win, Apple Loses in California Decision Over First Amendment Rights
Today, the California Court of Appeal issued its opinion
overturning the trial court’s discovery orders obtained by Apple
against a blogger. The EFF described the lawsuit by Apple as follows:In December 2004, Apple filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara
county against unnamed individuals who allegedly leaked information
about new Apple products to several online news sites, including AppleInsider and PowerPage. The articles at issue
concerned a FireWire audio interface for GarageBand, codenamed
“Asteroid†or “Q7.†In addition, Apple filed a separate trade secret
suit against Think Secret on January 4, 2004.Apple is seeking information from these news sites regarding the
identities of the sites’ sources, and has subpoenaed Nfox.com, the
email service provider for PowerPage, for email messages that may
identify the confidential source.The Bear Flag League in 2005 filed an amicus brief in support of Jackson O’Grady.
Congratulations to Justene Adamec and Jeff Lewis, attorneys extraordinaire, who represented the Bear Flag League and the Blogosphere so well.
The EFF has a webpage summarizing the lawsuit with links to all the legal documents here.
Flap’s blogpost from June 4, 2005: Apple v. Does: Confidential Sources in the Blogosphere.
May It Please the Court represented the Bear Flag League in oral argument. You can read his first hand account here.
Blogosphere/MSM:
Right on the Left Beach: Bear Flag League Scores an Assist
Bag and Baggage: Apple v. Does Decision Issued
If Apple opts to seek review by the California Supreme
Court, its petition should be due the first week of July (I get July
5). Review is rarely granted, generally only when necessary “to secure
uniformity of decision or to settle an important question of law.†(CRC 28(b)) This strikes me as a well-reasoned and thorough decision, and one where securing review poses a significant challenge.Though the media coverage of the opinion is bound to focus on the
shield law and constitutional protections here extended to online
journalists, in this era of ubiquitous use of email services
originating with third parties the portions of the decision applying
the Stored Communications Act might well have even broader impact.Previous:
