allthumbs Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 This is huge news. The times is considered one of the most trusted news outfits in the world. Now they've printed a 14000 word "apology" admitting many of the biggest articles in the last several years were all lies. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/11/national/11PAPE.html "The widespread fabrication and plagiarism represent a profound betrayal of trust and a low point in the 152-year history of the newspaper" I knew it all along...those lying liberal bastards...business as usual Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 yeah i read that a couplpe of days ago... crazy bastard was even warned about it...there are actually like 4 articles over the last week that have been published about it...guess that guy's career is ruined! Quote
Dru Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 He can probably get Ari Fleischer's job, ability to lie and basically make shit up is important for a White House press secretary or whatever Ari does. Quote
catbirdseat Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 I thought Ari Fleischer's job was to NOT give out information. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 Yeah, but also to lie about why he's not giving out information, to lie about the information he's not giving out, and to lie when he does occasionally give out some information. Best to just let sleazy dogs lie. Quote
allthumbs Posted May 21, 2003 Author Posted May 21, 2003 don't take it so hard Flash your Communist party wasn't involved heil !!!!!! Quote
iain Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 Fleischer cited "burn-out" as the reason for resigning. Even the best fiction authors get writer's block every now and then apparently. Quote
AlpineK Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 I'm sure it's only a matter of time till your beloved Fox News has the same thing happen to it. Quote

Ari seems to be a competent and quick-minded guy who was never intimidated by the terminally smartass "media" representatives whose only objective is to burnish their own reputations by embarrassing him and, by extension, the Bush administration. Too bad he's going; I'm sure he will do well in the private sector. trask Quote
