ROVE INDICTMENT PUSHERS ON NET SLOW TO RESPOND
For months it was screams and dreams from left-wing news sites on the internet: Karl Rove is on the verge of being indicted in the CIA leak case!
[This drama also played out last century with endless web warnings of Hillary Clinton indictments.]
Yet when word finally came down this morning that, in fact, Rove was on the verge of being cleared in the case, the fledgling sites somehow lost their way and suddenly struggled to keep up.
Some sites like truthout.org and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann opted for complete omission!
6:37 AM ET -- First Reported by Byron York at NATIONAL REVIEW.COM
6:40 AM -- News breaks on NYTIMES.COM
7:39 AM HUFFINGTON POST.COM [in small mouse type from automated AP feed: 'Rove won't be charged in CIA leak case']
8:21 AM -- RAWSTORY.COM still no splash headline
[At 9:21 AM -- RAW STORY splashes 'DRUDGE FALSIFIES REPORT ON RAW STORY... ROVE OFF HOOK IN CIA LEAK CASE: ATTORNEY']
More than two hours into the news cycle, truthout.org, a site which famously splashed the headline last month, 'Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators,' a headline which ignited a firestorm in the underground, still featured no announcement of Rove NOT being charged.
Truthout.org was still standing by its story.
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's page also carried no word on Rove being cleared, despite months of assuring his audience [ON MORE THAN 26 DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, ACCORDING TO NEXIS] how the Bush adviser faced indictment.
Developing...
I have been watching the Lib blogs all morning and very little is being said about it. It must suck to be so prone to failure huh?
