A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
Excerpt
BOBBY EBERLE, PRESIDENT, GOPUSA: Well, I think it's very important, Joe.
One of the things we see, you're talking about the story of -- people have talked about the Democrats attacking President Bush. Well, in this case, the attack is going through the media. In this case, CBS is being a willing accomplice to a story that is meant to disparage the president. And before, the left had this monopoly on the news. But now, with the advent of cable news networks, with the Internet, with all sorts of talk radio, all sorts of other media, no one gets a free pass anymore.
And it's up to the outlets if they are called on the carpet to come clean. Retractions are printed all the time. And if there was some bogus data down low that got fed up the food chain, it's up to CBS to say, here's what happened. Here's what's going on.
Otherwise, they destroy their credibility. It's another nail in the coffin of credibility. And they look like they're supporting the Democrats and have an agenda of their own. And that only goes to the claims of what Republicans and those on the right have been saying for quite a while.
(CROSSTALK)
SCARBOROUGH: Now, what about your news site? It's called GOPUSA.com. I know Democrats would say, well, your agenda is electing Republicans and electing George W. Bush. What's the difference between what you're doing and what conservatives accuse Dan Rather of doing?
EBERLE: Well, here's the difference.
At GOPUSA.com, we have got news and commentary. And our news comes from Talon News, which is a separate company that feeds just straight news into us and other news outlets, Web and print, across the country. And what we can say is, you know, if you guys see a story that you don't like on GOPUSA from Talon News, let us know about it.
