Oct. 26, 2004 - Rush is now confirming another Dan Rather type story in the missing explosives story.

The NY Times is still reporting the explosive story.

He just put the MSM on the spear point.
"Since, htese explosives weren't there when we got there. Does that help to explain why the WMDs weren't there either when we got there?"
Maybe the same thing happened to both of them. (ya think? )

Rush just played a soundbite from the second debate where KERRY mentioned an "ammo dump and missing explosives".

Kerry, the NY Times, and the UN are all in cahoots on this.

Interestingly, there is a link to CBS as well.

I can't keep up with all the threads discussing the same thing, so I'll post here what I just posted in another thread.

The duplicity of MSM in all this is, I think, much bigger than you know.

The NYT's story yesterday broke as if it were big and new. Now CBS is implicated in it, with the suggestion that they were going to run the same story. CNN has come out relatively unscathed since they seem to have taken the lead today in pointing out the errors in the NYT story.

But if you will go back to a previous thread in this same forum:

http://www2.swiftvets.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12638

you will see Rdtf, one of our members, observed that CNN was reporting the basic same story on 12 Oct. Only on 12 October, though it was essentially the same story, it didn't have quite the same spin. On 12 Oct the emphasis was not on the missing explosives.

The CNN story probably came from a Reuters story dated 11 Oct:

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=JZT450JCHO4BSCRBAE0CFEY?type=worldNews&storyID=6470463

But it was not even a new story on 11 Oct. As Rdtf pointed out there was an almost identical World Tribune story dated 11 June:

http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/breaking_1.html

So as you can see, the basic story is not, and has not been, anything new. It was known to all the media from at least mid-June. But the story, as reported from mid-June until mid-October, apparently did not get traction, nor was it spun in such a way to have maximum impact on the election. What is new is the way the NYT (and CBS?) spun the story yesterday to make it seem like it was new, breaking, signifcant news, with a new twist - the missing explosives vs. the missing WMD.

And why do you suppose you haven't heard any of this history of a news story from anybody in MSM?

I have had the same trouble. To many treads on the same thing.
