Where was the journalism?

In the Hillary interview last night, the Flowers' case was purported to be thrown out of court---when in fact the case was reinstated and, in the end, the Clinton legal defense fund had to pay off Flowers.



What gives? Why no follow up? Why no asterisk at the end explaining the facts about the Flowers case?



Where was the journalism?

    If you care about that you're an idiot.



    If you're concerned with Ashcroft's religious beliefs you're perfectly justified.

    Ouch!!!



    Barbara clearly left the impression that the Flowers thing was frivolous and summarily dismissed (which is the exact opposite of what happened).



    That just isn't journalism, it's a BIG no-no.

    Fair enough, though, as Babs isn't much of a journalist.

    It's no longer jourlnalism these days. It's corporatism, and propagandism. It's all about the corporations that own the news stations and the propaganda that the government wants them to says lest they be 'un-american'. I'm pretty sure though that Barbara just left that out accidentally. Or maybe they did it as a 'favor' to *Senator* Clinton. *wink*Wink*

    The Spirit of Justice is a nice statue that resides I believe in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice. She is topless. It's very artistic. Ashcroft is insane. Ashcroft covered her titties. He used drapes that cost taxpayers $8,000.

    From your article:



    But Justice Department spokeswoman Barbara Comstock said Mr Ashcroft knew nothing of the investment.



    Interesting.

    I somehow don't think that when Don King coined that phrase he had this usage in mind. ;-)

    Bah. I highly doubt that. How can he not know about it? He's the one making the damn speeches in front of it. He's the one to complain about it.

    Tell you what, BR, if you're going to whine about the content of your own links don't post them.



    You have no evidence aside from a hatred for Ashcroft and a bigoted disdain for Christians. Let it go.

    No, no, no! You've got it all wrong. It's just Christians named Ashcroft that he has a problem with.
