I am finding this interview Eberle did with Scarborough very ironic.
His comments about Dan Rather might just come back to haunt him.
below the fold:
From 9/13/2004 Scarborough Country
"SCARBOROUGH: Bobby, let me bring you in here.
Obviously, you also have a Web site, GOPUSA.com, very important Web site. And you guys have been pushing this story from the very beginning. Tell me, how important do you think it Web sites such as your own, news gathering organizations such as your own, to drive this sort of story and also to hold people like Dan Rather accountable, who, let`s face it, before the Internet and talk radio, almost had a monopoly on news gathering?
BOBBY EBERLE, PRESIDENT, GOPUSA: Well, I think it`s very important, Joe.
One of the things we see, you`re talking about the story of -- people have talked about the Democrats attacking President Bush. Well, in this case, the attack is going through the media. In this case, CBS is being a willing accomplice to a story that is meant to disparage the president. And before, the left had this monopoly on the news. But now, with the advent of cable news networks, with the Internet, with all sorts of talk radio, all sorts of other media, no one gets a free pass anymore.
And it`s up to the outlets if they are called on the carpet to come clean. Retractions are printed all the time. And if there was some bogus data down low that got fed up the food chain, it`s up to CBS to say, here`s what happened. Here`s what`s going on.
Otherwise, they destroy their credibility. It`s another nail in the coffin of credibility. And they look like they`re supporting the Democrats and have an agenda of their own. "
Just change the word Democrats to Republicans, and there you have it.
What goes around....
