L.A.M.E. and 'The Killian Memos Affair'
John Hawkins at Command Post has a well-written roundup of the memo hoax and points out the sharp contrast between Old Media's eager embrace of these memos, even in the face of repeated warnings from the handful of document examiners they contacted, and this same Old Media's out-of-hand dismissal of the Swift Boat Veterans regardless of the sworn, firsthand testimony and vetted documents they brought to bear.
In the comment section, poster CERDIP has a new (and IMHO more descriptive) acronym for Old Media: Legacy American Media Establishment.
Sweet.
It reminds me of my favorite TV show of my youth, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." (hence the title to this entry). The blogsphere needs an U.N.C.L.E. type acronym since L.A.M.E. is the contemporary THRUSH.
