Steven G. Brant has put forward the case the Newsweek debacle is actually a Karl Rove conspiracy.
But here’s my point: Newsweek getting “caught” like this has Karl Rove’s stink all over it. Am I the only one who sees this pattern at work?…one that is destroying the credibility of the press? Not that the press hasn’t made its own mistakes (thanks NY Times/Jason Blair)…but when it comes to “big news” stories where The White House gets to shout “How dare you!” because sources turn out to be shady (even though the facts of the story are never refuted)…
Boy where have we heard that one before: the story is true although we can’t verify the facts. Seems Rather familiar to me.
This part got a chuckle out of me,

In other words, Newsweek is to blame, at least in part, because they stupidly fell for Rove’s clever ploy.
Of course, if Rove is really this much of a genius, then it truly is all over for the Democrats. There is no way they can beat somebody as clever as Rove.
