Earlier today, NewsBusters senior editor Tim Graham wrote about ABC's Tahman Bradley and his coverage of President Bush's recess appointment of Sam Fox as ambassador to Belgium. The headline for Bradley's story read like that of a left-wing press release: "Bush Swift Boats Belgium, Congress."
Well, blogger Myra Langerhas of "Snarking Dawg" might have found the reason for Bradley's slanted treatment. The Howard University alumnus (Class of 2006) was active in College Democrats and was a 2005 Fellow for People for the American Way, according to a Web site for the left-wing interest group:
Tahman Bradley
YP4 Fellowship Class: 2005
Campus: Howard University
Graduation Year: 2006
Major: Journalism
Birthday: November 13
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Campus Involvement: College Democrats, The Hilltop Campus Newspaper
Fortune favors the bold.
Curiously Bradley's fellowship went unmentioned on his ABC News profile, even though he works for the ABC political unit and the information is germane to his background and biases as a political reporter:
Tahman Bradley is an ABC News field producer based in the network's Washington bureau. He covers national politics, contributing content to the various platforms at ABC News. Prior to joining the ABC News Political Unit, Bradley was a Carnegie Fellow working on special projects with the ABC News Investigative Unit in New York. Bradley is a graduate of Howard University, where he studied journalism and political science.

Perfect
April 5, 2007 - 15:37 ET by allanfWhy those are perfect credentials for ABC News. It is not as if they need journalists at ABC News.
ABC has Diane Sawyer in a headscarf on her all dictator tour. Then there is Barbara Walters sitting back as Rosie rants.
The miracle is that anyone takes these folks seriously.
You don't have to take prop
April 5, 2007 - 15:50 ET by dabalYou don't have to take propaganda seriously for it to work.
You just need to ingest it at some level. Wash, rinse, repeat. Hitler and Goebbels tactics are tried-and-true, and work marvelously well on people that are too busy to really care.
"No Blood for Oil"...simplistic, repetitious, and catchy. It also has nothing to do with the war in Iraq, but that doesn't matter as long as the end justifies the means with these types.

April 5, 2007 - 15:48 ET by bigtimerJust churning out the leftist empty-headed so -called journalists and putting them everywhere as fast as they can...
That's the leftist groups job..it is their goal and agenda and looks like it's working just fine..right on schedule.
Gotta love that Soros and his ilks money and funding...they did great with AirAmerika, now on to other things...hoping Obama will be the man...I think Hillary will be ready to get a fork stuck in her...she is not going to make it IMO.
Thank goodness for the internet and sites like NB's!

April 5, 2007 - 18:36 ET by 01-20-09"Bush Swift Boats Belgium, Congress." nails it.
Bush tricked the American people by sending a reject ambassador to
Belgium, when Congress was in recess. Chicken hawk Sam Fox funded the
lying Swift Boat ads, desecrating the medals of a war veteran.

April 5, 2007 - 18:46 ET by BDHOW did he desecrate the medals? In fact, it was Kerry who threw his medals away, or was it someone elses? ANd was Kerry an honorable veteran- or the reincarnation of Ghengis Khan?

April 5, 2007 - 19:09 ET by 01-20-09That "Ghengis Khan" bit is Kerry reading the writing of another Nam Vet, and is what many Nam Vets witnessed.

April 5, 2007 - 19:30 ET by BDPlease prove to me that atrocities in Vietnam were widespread, particularly in the wake of revelations regarding both the Winter Soldiers and VVAW being unmasked largely as imposters. They were neither veterans of the Vietnam war, nor in most cases actually veterans of any service. (Please see Burketts book Stolen Valor for reference material.)
THere is a good basis for Kerry to have known that in large part his cohort of Winter Soldiers were in fact perpetrating a fraud by making false claims,
THerefore there is good basis to assume that Kerry knew he was perpetrating a fraud by reading such a statement.

"The My Lai Massacre (pronounced mee-lye) (Vietnamese: thảm sát Mỹ Lai) was the massacre of hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese civilians, mostly women and children, by U.S. soldiers on March 16, 1968, in the hamlet of My Lai, during the Vietnam War.
It prompted widespread outrage around the world and reduced American
support at home for the war in Vietnam. "

April 6, 2007 - 08:38 ET by BDYou produce one account and then procede to pronounce it widespread?
Cool.... In that case false statements to Grand Juries amongst Democratic Presidential candidates is widespread.
Storing cash gotten as part of a sting operation in your freezer in bundles amongs democratic Legislators is Widespread.
Spitting on returning Iraq vets by protestors at airports is widespread.
Anti War protestors murdering their girlfriends and fleeing to "Frogland" is widespread.
Can I get a SHACK here on this one anybody?

room for our daily Krispie Kreme run. Libs waste all their time at the
gym bench pressing 300 pounds, then running running 50 miles a week.

April 6, 2007 - 05:46 ET by NL207That's something the Libs over at MMFA just can't grasp. They always retreat behind "the Navy says ..." when Kerry's awards are questioned. Most of them have no clue that all decorations are based on the after action reports of the senior officer present, which was usually Kerry himself in Kerry's case. He was writing himself up for these commendations. Nice work if you can get it. The Navy's offical version and John kerry's version usually agree because they are often one and the same.

Also, thank God for Newsbusters. The MSM will never police themselves, and this kind of info would stay hidden.
