Jeez, Tim, just when I thought you bottomed out on the scale of
intellect, you come up with a story about the Washington Post carefully
checking its sources...

That's what real news sources do. They're not perfect in this, of
course, but, unlike your rightwing news outlets, they do try.

The NYT had a bit on this attempted scam by the rightwing:

A woman with ties to a right-wing activist group falsely claimed to The
Washington Post that she had conceived a child with Roy S. Moore, the
Republican Senate candidate in Alabama, when she was 15, the newspaper
reported on Monday afternoon.

The woman, identified by the paper as Jaime T. Phillips, claimed in
recent interviews with reporters that she had an abortion after having
sex with Mr. Moore in 1992. But The Post said that it had discovered
inconsistencies in her account and evidence that the woman concocted the
sensational claim to try to dupe reporters and coax them into discussing
the political impact her story could have on Mr. Moore.

A reporter with The Post confronted the woman about the holes in her
story on Wednesday and then Post journalists saw her on Monday morning
entering the offices of Project Veritas, a conservative group that films
undercover videos. The organization, led by the activist James O’Keefe,
has recently targeted journalists, trying to goad them into revealing
biases or unethical schemes to discredit the news media.

“The intent by Project Veritas clearly was to publicize the conversation
if we fell for the trap,� Martin Baron, the executive editor at The
Post, was quoted as saying. “Because of our customary journalistic
rigor, we weren’t fooled.�



Sorry, Timmy, but your scamvangelist candidate Roy Moore has
legitimately been called out as a pedophile who tried to rape a 14 year
old girl and who sexually assaulted many other young women. But hey,
that's ok with your fellow christians and I assume it is ok with you. I
still think Scumbag Moore will win the election there. I'd love to be
wrong on this.

...

Wow Harry, you got to breathing heavy!

Why are you denying that there “may� be some false claims about Moore’s
guilt? Will you still be huffing if it comes from the Huff ?


Why are you defending a pedophile? Had Moore tried that on my daughter when
she was 14 and he was 32, I would have cut his nuts off and nailed them to
the nearest mossy oak.
