That would be a headline far closer to reality, but it is the PiPress

Democratic campaign group sets up Web site targeting Michele Bachmann

St. CLOUD, Minn. — The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has created a Web site to highlight controversial statements by Representative Michele Bachmann.

It’s the committee’s latest attack on the Minnesota Republican, who was re-elected last November after creating a stir during the campaign by suggesting Barack Obama had anti-American views.

The page is called “Bachmann Watch — Michele Bachmann vs. The Truth.” It’s at www.BachmannWatch.com.

The committee, which supports Democratic candidates for Congress, calls some of her statements “lies that can quickly be disproven.”

There has been a ragtag handful of knockledragging dumpster divers doing this for years, heck, the DCCC had even been working through them. 

Doesn’t the Democratic Party have more important things to do then distort the record and statements of a Republican? 

Like: Economy, the economy, and let’s not forget the economy. 

But then again, if they do that, they might have to look into the lies, misstatements, campaign bribes, and policy making that Democrats undertook or received that helped push the economy down the hill to recession. Rather then govern with their majorities, Democrats choose to play partisan games. 

So if I start up a blog called Democrats vs the truth, do you think I’d get a story in the PiPress? Maybe we could go into Rep. Murtha or Frank and their illicit connections to people who benefitted from Legislation they passed…. oh wait, there are scores of blogs that already do this sort of thing. There’s even the major story that the Democratic Speaker of the House is lying to the American people about what she knew, and when. 

Heck, sometimes we even turn our focus onto our own pork kings like Oberstar and Ellison. But that isn’t quite as satisfying to the PiPress as taking a DC Democrat press release and turning it into a story where you get to publish the words, ”lies that can quickly be disproven.”

Journalism is dead, long live activist reporting. Hook, line, and sinker!
