Is it me, or is Glenn Reynolds now a complete waste of time?

Kim Du Toit says it all about Damler Chrysler...except that Mercedes is getting a ton of consumer complaints about their car

CBS News lies again, but this time they actually doctor their own transcript of an interview, plant questions and then play anwers to another question. You better get over there quick, it's on Limbaugh and he takes stuff down almost immediately.

Monday night on the CBS Evening News, Ken Starr was interviewed about the judicial controversy, filibuster of President Bush's judicial nominees -- and Ken Starr was pretty emphatic. He said that he opposes the nuclear option; he opposes this attempt to rein in the judiciary. He called it "a radical departure from our history and an attack on the judiciary."

But these were answers to other questions. CBS simply inserted them. It comes to the integrity of the reporter who allows herself to be used like this. One can only assume that she is complicit the the lie. Whoops it's gone. I don't know who will pick it up or if it will just vanish into his overpriced 24/7.

Late ADD: the guy at NR, Ranesh Ponnaru??? has the rest:

In the piece that I have now seen, and which I gather is being lavishly quoted, CBS employed two snippets. The 'radical departure' snippet was specifically addressed -- although this is not evidenced whatever from the clip -- to the practice of invoking judicial philosopy as a grounds for voting against a qualified nominee of integrity and experience. I said in sharp language that that practice was wrong. I contrasted the current practice . . . with what occurred during Ruth Ginsburg's nomination process, as numerous Republicans voted (rightly) to confirm a former ACLU staff lawyer. They disagreed with her positions as a lawyer, but they voted (again, rightly) to confirm her. Why? Because elections, like ideas, have consequences. . . . In the interview, I did indeed suggest, and have suggested elsewhere, that caution and prudence be exercised (Burkean that I am) in shifting/modifying rules (that's the second snippet), but I likewise made clear that the 'filibuster' represents an entirely new use (and misuse) of a venerable tradition. . . ."[O]ur friends are way off base in assuming that the CBS snippets, as used, represent (a) my views, or (b) what I in fact said."

Rush said it much better----LATER ADD: CBS Evening News hits new ratings low...... Sniff, sob, boo hoo.....AND: Claudia Strikes Again on Oil for Food.....
