Which one is it?

I was playing with the hypocrisy of some of the posters on the left here. I find your reaction quite telling, as no one likes being caught with his hands in the cookie jar. I'm sorry if you think I was 'caught' and I am trying to get off the hook, but quite frankly I'm not that stupid. Why do you think I didn't include the second source in the first post?
It was a dose of the lefts own medicine, take something which at first glance seems possible, and then post it as a fact to discuss as if it were gospel truth. As someone who believes that the media is in fact biased towards the left (and I also think water is wet) I was inclined to believe it. Looking deeper though I did see the date (Dec 24) and realized that the concept that the entire press in the US would ignore this story since the Italians used domestic wire taps in order to prevent Bush from getting any backing to using them in the US a weeeee bit of a stretch. Its far less a stretch then some of the tin-foil hat claims which I see on the other side of the aisle here, but still I'm a realist and I am not going to believe something because I WANT to believe it.
Now that some of the left see their hypocrisy I fully expect them to be as inquisitive as to the validity of 'articles' posted which support their world view.
Hey a guy can dream
