FLASH: CBS wanted to break story on Election Eve!

How’s this for a clearcut case of CBS News NOT learning a damned thing from their past? Drudge is reporting that CBS News was going to run with the “Missing Explosives” story on Election Eve, but was beat to the punch by the NYT. Just goes to show you that agendas are sometimes trumped by scoops in the media biz. Anywho, here’s the story:

In light of the forged documents Bush National Guard story, as well as the e-mail hoax in the Bush draft story, now CBS is adding another blatant Kerry campaign tactic to their arsenal with this missing explosives story. The problem is, the explosives were missing BEFORE the U.S. invasion last year…thus, no Bush admin incompetence!

Folks, PLEASE get to the polls and don’t let this overt attempt by the MSM to sway the election work! Repudiate the media, and re-elect Bush!

NBC actually being FAIR for once?

How about this? NBC actually exposes the NYT bias against Bush. Who’d have thunk it? From CNSNews.com:

————>

NBC News reported Monday night that 380 tons of missing explosives were already gone when U.S. troops arrived at the Al-Qaqaa weapons installation in April 2003 – one day after Saddam’s government was toppled.

NBC should know. It had a reporter embedded with the U.S. troops when they arrived at Al-Qaqaa in April 2003.

While the Kerry campaign blasted the Bush administration for “stunning incompetence” on Monday, many Bush supporters questioned the timing of the New York Times’ report Monday about the missing explosives, just eight days before the presidential election.

NBC News correspondent Jim Miklaszewski suggested a political motive as well: In his report on the missing explosives Monday night, he quoted one official as saying, “Recent disagreements between the administration and the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency makes this announcement appear highly political.”

According to the Times, the IAEA said it had warned the Bush administration about the need to secure the Al-Qaqaa facility before and after the war.

In a follow-up report on Tuesday, the Times did not mention the fact that NBC had an embedded reporter on the scene when the missing explosives were discovered – the day after Baghdad fell.

Tuesday’s report in the Times, headlined “Iraq Explosives Become Issue in Campaign,” covers how the Bush administration “sought to explain the disappearance of 380 tons of high explosives in Iraq that American forces were supposed to secure.”

Bush’s aides, Tuesday’s article said, “tried to explain why American forces had ignored warnings from the International Atomic Energy Agency about the vulnerability of the huge stockpile of high explosives, whose disappearance was first reported on Monday by CBS and The New York Times.”

The Times’ report portrayed the Bush administration as being on the defensive, trying to “minimize the importance of the loss” of the military explosives.

The report noted that President Bush “never mentioned the disappearance of the high explosives during a long campaign speech in Greeley, Colo., about battling terrorism.”

Why NEVER to trust liberals with national security

David Limbaugh has a great column about why not to trust liberals on matters of national security. An excerpt:

————–>

The Washington Post and Los Angeles Daily News editorial endorsements of Kerry, alone, demonstrate why liberals must never be entrusted with our national security.

Both papers, amazingly, concede that the War on Terror and national security are the most important issues the next president will have to confront. Both admit that Kerry has been wishy-washy on these subjects. But both, ultimately, conclude that Kerry is the better choice, essentially, because he promises to do better. In other words, we should base our decision on some of Kerry’s words, not his other words or actions to the contrary.

Precisely what does Kerry promise to do so differently from President Bush? To restore unity at home and heal our alliances abroad, of course. Now don’t you feel better?

Note the liberal disconnect here. These papers have the presence of mind to recognize that our national security is the paramount issue. But they have the profound obscurity of mind to believe that sweet-talking corrupt “allies” is the panacea for the War on Terror.
