OVEREAGER REPORTER?

It appears that in this instance “overeager reporter” and “sloppy reporting” are interchangeable titles. Perhaps “biased” belongs in there somewhere.

Linden’s posting yesterday was concerned with who in the McCain campaign staff may have been responsible for the obviously ridiculous accusation regarding the knowledge deficit of Sarah Palin. The question resulted from a widely disseminated report.

Some hours after completing the posting, Linden unearthed a couple of small mentions that the reporter had been tricked into reporting something as “news” when it was actually nothing more than a planted attack on Sarah Palin.

Naturally, the notice that the original story was erroneous will not be as widely circulated as the falsehood was.

This is another in a long line of examples of why the MSM is, because of its bias, losing readership, advertising revenue and is cutting staff.

GIFT GIVING?
Any of Linden’s six books or his first CD could be what you are looking for: They are inexpensive and not everybody has one.

The CD “Songs A Poor Old Police Department Retiree Might Write While Waiting For His Meager Pension Check” features Linden’s original compositions. The book subject matter ranges from political through poetry, baseball, prayer, cryptograms and Linden’s pilgrimage in Spain at age 75.
