Something about abortion is all I can find out so far. Have they compromised journalistic integrety. Got to see if KGO has the details
What does Larry Flint know about Bush that CNN pulled from from the web?
- Thread starter Moonbeam
- Start date
Nothing like 'bushwatch' as a credible source 
What's next, quoting a skinhead pamphlet to hear the 'truth' about the civil rights movement? Of course, one should never underestimate the amount of credibility gained by adding the name of Larry Flint to a story

Are you kidding me? Larry Flynt as a source? Oh God... This smells worse than his diapers...

Bush Watcher in Bakersfield, Calif. Bernie Ward " spent the entire 3 hours [this evening] discussing and taking calls about Larry Flynt and his story. Which then
turned into a big discussion on CNN and its censorship of the news. Are they supporting Bush, and why did they edit and then delete the transcripts of Larry Flynt on
Crossfire?... A fellow called to say he called CNN this afternoon and the lady said they had received 100,000 calls on "why did they delete the transcripts?" She
really had no answer, it was a corporate decision. Two other fellows called Bernie and they had just called CNN. Only to have a lady tell the first fellow that she
didn't want to be bothered by that trash when he tried to register his complaint about the deleted transcript. She said call the news dept. tomorrow. The other fellow
said he called and she said don't you people have anything better to do with your damn time. Now isn't that a lovely corporate image for CNN?... Bernie thinks the
bigger issue is CNN's journalist credibility. I would have to agree, it certainly makes one wonder (like we haven't already) just how much do they edit the news and
why? Bernie is urging everyone to continue to call CNN and also to email Howard Kurtz and others and ask them why is there censorship on CNN. If CNN has
gotten 100,000 phone calls, imagine how many emails they have gotten??!! Probably twice as many." 10/25/00

Woohoo. Red Dawn can write a fake news story! Here's something a little more substantitive:
[XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 26, 2000 11:12:24 ET XXXXX
FLYNT TOLD TO 'PUT UP OR SHUT UP' ON BUSH 'ABORTION'; WOMAN DENIES PORN KING?S ALLEGATION
**Exclusive**
Friends and family of a woman at the center of Larry Flynt?s investigation into Republican
presidential hopeful George W. Bush blasted the porn king for spreading abortion allegations and challenged Flynt to ?put up or shut up,? the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
"Mr. Flynt better start naming names!" demanded a close friend of the Texas woman at the center of the storm.
"What is he afraid of? We all know this is a setup by desperate Gore supporters. Mr. Flynt
will not go into specifics, because he can?t! The story he is spreading around is pathetic.
Put up or shut up, Mr. Flynt!"
The controversy surrounding Flynt?s allegation intensified late last week after the all-news
network CNN aired the charge.
"We've found out in the early 1970s Bush was involved in an abortion in Texas," the HUSTLER
publisher reported on CNN.
Flynt did not offer specifics.
"How could I have aborted George Bush?s child? We never once had intercourse!" the woman
explained to friends. "This is outrageous."
The woman?s husband, a government employee in law enforcement, has raised the possibility of
legal action against anyone who links his wife to a 'Bush abortion'.
Investigators working for Flynt launched their investigation after the woman?s college
roommate came forward and offered to sell information that dated back thirty years.
"She once overheard her roommate on the phone arranging for a doctor, but she never heard the
voice on the other side of the phone," said a source.
Flynt and the roommate could not reach financial terms, one insider told the DRUDGE REPORT.
Flynt repeated his story on ABC radio in San Francisco on Wednesday night.
Appearing on Bernie Ward's KGO-AM 810 talk show, Flynt said the abortion took place in Houston
in 1970 during the elder Bush's campaign for a seat in Washington. At that time, the younger
Bush was working in the campaign.
Flynt claimed he had affidavits from four witnesses.
Once again, Flynt did not offer names.
For what it's worth.
I've always loved the double standard: If a Republican jaywalks, it's proof that he's unworthy of trust; if a Democrat kills someone with an axe on television, the sheep go, "Aw...the nice man pulled the axe out of her head. He cares."
Even IF this story is true, how is a 30 year old story more relevant than perjury committed 3 years ago?

Reading the unbiased BushWatch story further, here's a snip that kinda disproves the whole thing:
MARSHALL Back in Austin, Texas I met Flynt's two investigators. They've been digging through the dirt under orders from
Flynt to prove the sex allegation.
[ANONYMOUS] We've spent in some cases two weeks trying to find someone for whom we only had a first name.
[ANONYMOUS] We've also geographically been back and forth across the country a number of times, been to Mexico,
been to Texas.
[ANONYMOUS] We've made hundreds and hundreds of phone calls and pursued many sources. Often we spent time
listening to people who are on the verge of lunacy, sometimes in the hopes that they might have something that's interesting.
AT one point we had to.. you know.. to visit every strip bar in a particular city looking for one person, and we finally found
the right strip bar and had to spend three or four days sitting there waiting for this person to come in.
MARSHALL They're focusing on Bush's so-called 'missing years', the 1970s when he says he was young and irresponsible.
He was a heavy drinker and there's speculation about drugs as well. But Flynt's people are on a different tack. The dirt
they've been digging is Flynt's claim that 30 years ago Bush got a girl pregnant and encouraged her to have an abortion. With
Bush now running on an anti-abortion platform, it will be political dynamite if true. The 'if' is crucial. We found Larry Flynt is
grossly exaggerating the strength of his evidence. In fact he has no hard evidence at all, not one bit. His case is based solely on
one individual's hearsay second-hand information. The rest, the people Flynt calls witnesses, all insist the story isn't true. That's
not deterring Larry Flynt.
FLYNT If we're able to make this story before the election, I thin It'll have a dramatic effect on the election. I think it'll have
the same effect on the election or investigation as it did on the impeachment.
MARSHALL Having failed to convince first Panorama and then the mainstream US media, Larry Flynt has turned to
America's talk radio. He's been spreading the dirt.
(Emphasis added)

I know satire and often use it. Problem is, the people who have already posted like they think there's something to this story probably wouldn't get it.
Sarcasm and satire are wasted on the stupid. (Kinda like talking to you.)

Democrat War Machine in action again?
Flynt is a jerk and scumbag.
The mainstream media (CNN here) can't seem to exercise good judgement anymore. Journalistic integrity, at least when politics is involved, is often tossed out the window.
I'm tired of watching a war between the Rs and the Ds. I say the Is or the Ls form up and sweep them from the field.

Someone said..."You are known be the company you keep".....the Just laugh as Flynt is quoted...
I'm actually glad to see this. It's well know that Flynt hates the Republicans with a passion. He must have spent a small fortune trying to dig up any dirt he could.
If this is all he could make up then Gov. Bush must have a very clean background. Makes me feel even better to be voting for Gov. Bush for President.

The outlaw will not play by the rules, I always remind myself that we are not in our home land.
Be as wise and cunning as serpents, but remain as pure in heart...as a dove.
The Word is the power, Wisdom will use the Power at hand, to expose the outlaw.
Ultimate Victory?
It is ours...
