NYTimes: “Be Vewwwy Quiet”
By Mitch Berg
Ed (channeling Powerline), notes that Anderson Cooper’s big “gotcha” from the debate a few weeks ago, re Giuliani’s alleged misuse of security funds to escort his now-wife, then-mistress about, has come a-cropper.
Not that you’d know it from the Times’ “coverage” of this fact:
The New York Times exonerates Rudy Giuliani from charges that he moved travel expenses around through subsidiary agencies in order to hide his affair with his now-wife, Judith. People looking for that exoneration on their feedreaders will find themselves frustrated. Not only did the Times bury the story on one of its blogs, it put it in a graphic format that doesn’t allow for copy-and-paste. In fact, it isn’t even shown as an entry on the blog itself:
I expect the Times to start printing corrections on the undersides of pieces of used chewing gum, at this rate.
Of course, even a front-page report on this wouldn’t unring the bell; the damage has been done, and it has been considerable. It looks like the Times wanted to make sure none of it got undone. (via Power Line)
Nope. No liberal media here.

Here’s a wacky media moment. Had on WCCO radio Wednesday late afternoon. Don Shelby was on (for those not from here, he is the Dan Rather of local CBS owned radio and TV) …..he said he doesn’t have the proof yet, but believes the reason we don’t have really high mpg cars is because the board of directors of the auto companies and big oil consist of the same people. That they are keeping technology a secret so they can sell low milieage cars so more oil is used.

Don Shelby is the main reason I can’t watch WCCO news. He’s a smug little douche. Pathetic DFL shill. Self satisfied nanny-stater.
After what he did to Pat Miles I have zero tolerance for Don Shelby (spits).
