You should feed your children to the wolves before you miss :That isn’t the view of Democrats who have been burned by the Telegraph’s stories. “They use anonymous sources to a degree that makes you wonder if they actually have them,” said Bob Shrum, the retired political consultant who managed the presidential campaigns of Al Gore and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). “I would have murdered someone from the Kerry campaign if they talked to the Daily Telegraph.”Democrats have a long list of grievances with the Telegraph, the most recent examples all traceable to Shipman. In the past year he reported that close allies of former Vice President Al Gore were to end the Clinton-Obama standoff, that former President Bill Clinton warned that Obama to get an endorsement and that a source close to the new president worried that the insultingly cheap gift of DVDs he gave to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown by his job. Democrats who worked with those campaigns told TWI that these stories were, respectively, “a total lie,” “just not true,” and “something nobody thinks is true.”Shipman is amused by the criticism. “I never report what I’m not told,” he said. “If I have one source who tells me this, I will write that in.” After the campaigns or furors are over, he said, the stories hang together, “except, obviously, for the bit about Gore.” Since the campaign ended and Clinton staffers dropped their codes of silence, his story is only one of many stories of the former president lighting into the current one.This is my favorite of many pump-your-fist-this-is-so-righteous quotes in Dave’s piece:“The British reporters are the best,” said Andrew Breitbart, a former part-time editor of the Drudge Report who is now editor of Breitbart.com and its Big Hollywood opinion site. “They have such better attitudes than our guys. They’re less simpering. You read their stories and you want go out and drink beers with these guys. The Left just hates them because they tell good stories and the Left doesn’t want good stories if it means they’ll lose a couple of innings.”I never want a good story. Screw a couple innings. I throw whole seasons, man. I’m the Pete Rose of this game. Never change, Andrew Breitbart.Shadowproof is a financially independent news organization.
