Times Union And Gazette Missing The Boat

So, as usual, I'm behind on reading the papers. But let's catch up a bit.

Both the Gazette and Times Union ran with reports that said in no uncertain terms that a MorOn nut that tried to rush at candidate Rand Paul had her head 'stomped on' or that a Paul supporter clearly had his 'foot on her head'.

They both ran this story. Apparently no one at either paper nor the source organization saw the actual video in question - because it is beyond obvious that no such thing happened. See for yourself, Jay Tea linked to the video here: link. Didn't happen. After she tried to, as it appeared at the time, attack Paul she was thrown to the ground and one guy, unnecessarily, pushed her down further with a foot on her shoulder. I'd say if they did see it and still allowed such BS to be published in their papers, then not only don't they know a head from a shoulder, but they don't know their ass from their elbow as the saying goes.

Next up, I'm not seeing anything in either paper about Obama declaring that the GOP, when it came to bipartisan leadership, "gotta sit in the back". I'll leave it to you to ask what the TU and Gazette editorial writers and columnists would have had to say if Bush had said that Pelosi "gotta sit in the back" after the 2006 elections. Hell, Strock would still be writing about it.
