It looks like the Baltimore Chronicle also picked up our original CNN “Dupe Nuke ’em” story a few days ago and we just caught it.
Their piece on the matter was one item in an article from their “Media Criticism” section discussing a number of troubling concerns of-late at the once-great cable news channel.
Our original story on CNN’s use of photos of the same purported nuclear site described as being both in Iran and North Korea is right here. With a follow-up on the U.S. government funded ?news? site who did the same thing, with the same nuke site a year ago, but used it for Iraq as well as the N. Korea and Iran, here, and finally a follow-up to that piece here.
For the record, it’s officially been over week since the CNN press rep said she’d get back to us with an answer to our queries on the matter. We’ve made follow-up calls nearly every day since then. They’ve not been returned. If CNN is hoping to feed more speculation that they have something to cover up, they are doing a swell job of it.
Speaking of cover-ups, the Chronicle article mentioned above was written by Margie Burns, who also put together some Clint Curtis follow-up on her own blog in mid-January. We were out of town when we discovered her piece on that, so didn’t get the opportunity to properly link up at the time. She discusses a few of the Raymond Lemme-related issues (on which we also hope to have more ourselves, as previously promised, in the coming week or two!)
We’re happy to see there are still a few folks out there with access to good old fashioned print papers who are actually paying attention and getting some work done! Well, one anyway! Thanks, Margie!

Wow, another real journalist. The fourth estate exists in other places.
Her article is good, pointing out how the MSM prints a phony story but misses the real Gannon story.
Thanks Brad for pointing out another point of hope for the MSM.
I enjoyed her articles very much. So glad to know there are more and more people out there writing about what’s important for America. Thanks, Brad, for bringing her to our attention.
Brad,
Mike Newcomb, the progressive talk radio host for station KFNX in Phoenix, was talking about the photo on Monday. I called in to the program and gave him some additional details and emailed him with the URL for Brad Blog and suggested that he read up on the matter here! Maybe you should call in, too? His show airs 4-7 p.m. EST.
It seems the folks out in Phoenix have red state-itis; that is, a lack of credible information. Must be the rightwing media filter at work. Why stop with the photos. Let’s add some logs to the fire! You could mention Clinton Curtis!
Tony Karon from Time has some optimistic words for us. Well, as far as another war goes anyway.
OT again. Sorry. But you wanna talk about sore losers. How is it that it’s ok for the Repugs in one state but not ok for the Dems in another (or two or three)? Could someone refresh my memory please?
I think that Scott Ritter knows a little bit more about what he’s talking about than Bush and his gang of thugs.
Starting to look like Sibel Edmonds will be getting her day in court!
