The New York Times has reported that media outlets obtained that controversial memo highlighting the political benefits of the Terri Schiavo case from "Democratic aides," who said it had been distributed to Senate Republicans.The story is starting to see some mainstream media play...finally... At some point, the media is going to understand that they actually have to be careful with their accussations...I don't know exactly when that's going to happen, but eventually these idiots are going to get the idea...
But according to Fox News contributor Fred Barnes, top Senate Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and majority whip Mitch McConnell never saw the memo. What's more, the talking points were printed on blank paper, with no letterhead, date, or signature and contained numerous factual and typographical errors.
And ABC News, which first ran the memo under the headline "GOP talking points," now says they never meant to imply that it was created by Republicans.
