Hey PW2, wasn't 'vauge' at all, it was specifically linked to Hill's campaign. FYI: Washington Times and Fox are separate entities. ...


the story broke on Insight Magazine (www.insightmag.com) which, incidently, makes this claim: "Voted Hottest Conservative News Site By Rolling Stone Magazine"

Who owns Insight jtex?

here's how they "specifically linked" it to the Clinton campaign: "Sources said the background check, conducted by researchers connected to Senator Clinton...."

They don't reveal the "sources", don't even claim that the "sources" were part of the campaign.

They don't claim to have vetted the story or the "sources".

How do you know this?

btw, the Fox "News" story was an op-ed piece about the Insight Magazine story - not an independent story about the false report.


Sounds like you have some first hand knowledge jtex. Please share with us how you know the report to be false? Respectfully JR


cnn sent a reporter to indonesia who personally inspected the school, interviewed school officials and alumni, and reported what he found, including names and dates. I found it more credible than "sources said." But you're just yankin my chain right? I mean shirly you know the difference. 8)

jtex, Thanks for the reply. My main concern with your post is you very clearly labeled the Insight mag article: FALSE. I was trying to get you to back that up, and you still have not done so. I also read the CNN article jtex, and I could not determine where they had proven that the Insight article was FALSE as you very clearly stated, they just clarified it a little further, (please show me where I am wrong here). Better yet: I watched CNN this morning and personally saw CNN's female anchor: Soledad O'Brien interview Mr. Obama with a very soft ball question that she answered for herself. Something to this effect: since our CNN team went to Indonisia and found that you attended a Muslim school that was not a particularly religious school, do you know who put out this information? Mr. Obama smoothly and tactfully said he did not. Why wouldn't any decent reporter ask a more detailed question that would go towards the disclosure issue as raised in the Insight article regarding Mr Obama's two autobiographies? I will venture a guess. Hillary is the MSMs favorite, and Obama is their creation. Remember how there were issues about Mr Clinton's womanizing and corruption in Arkansaw that all the MSM just overlooked in 1991? Had they treated Mr. Clinton like a viel Republican he would have never been President in my not so humble opinion. Same thing is at play here. Obama is left of Mrs. Clinton, but at least he is not a know criminal, so I'm just an interested observer. I am particularly keen about media treatment, because the MSM is badly broken in this great country of ours. Respectfully JR

I don't have a personal agenda here, I don't want a Clinton presidency any more than you do, I don't know or care where the story originated could've been from either camp or neither. It was an exceptionally vague reference.

[btw if you're asking how I know that insight didn't vet the story, read again...I said they didn't claim to have done so. How I know is, I read the whole story.]




I just wanted to make a really long quote.

Thanks Rubber, By the way jtex: please cite the actual false statements in the Insight article, (from your own critical analysis), not just the CNN Kool aid. I can read also jtex. My rant is more about the MSM then anything ol' Hill or Bamma did does or will do. Respectfully JR

Re: Dem's are now at eachothers throat

Insight is a Political Tabloid owned by Moonies. Next you'll be saying that Bigfoot killed Jon Benet Ramsey. Desperate people will believe anything they want to, as long as it's in print. Pitiful, just pitiful.

Obiwan Kenobi was right. "The feeble-minded are easily manipulated. " ( Or something like that. ) ;)

I see your taking your own talking points Willy, glad you finally see it for what it is.

Don't start that stuff again Rubber, that last one blew me away for days. JR

Don't rightly care if Insight is from Mars Willy. I'm not picky where I get information, but I attempt to use a critical thought process to evaluate what I read. Some just put on blinders and only accept what their favorite editors think they should know. I am well aware of the partisn media. That is why Fox and talk radio, the WSJ editorial page and IBD are valuable. Does any news source have zero bias? Not any that I know of. JR

Your astute analysis and wit never ceases to amaze me. You and Ray should collaborate.

It would save on bandwidth and have the added benefit of halving the useless posts we have to wade through to get decent content or opinion... thanx Frog, you are two of a kind.
