My trusted source? Getting a little bit cocky are we, ABC? Gibson hasn’t even been on the job a month yet since Elizabeth Vargas left. A bit soon to be calling him my trusted source. Although I did gain an admiration for ABC’s Brian Ross fairly quickly after he started The Blotter.

More New York Times treason bashing. This time from David Frum, one of the President’s former speechwriters. NYT’s Frank Rich was on hand to shoot him down though on every point he made. Raw Story has the video and the story.

Just a quick update on the situation I shared about yesterday. First he tried to disprove Al Gore’s global warming film with two sources paid by ExxonMobil, to specifically spread doubt about global warming.
