There has been another scandalous story that never much made it off the internet, even though actual charges were filed against G.W. Bush.
Not many legitimate western news sources carried the story, even though I did find it on the english Pravda news website. The following link tells the story well, and also references an Austrailian newspaper that took the trouble to verify the details and publish the story.
Also note that the woman in question was rather obviously floridly insane. Believe it or not, we kicked even this thing around a couple of years ago, but I can’t find the link. There is also a difference between “filing charges” and “filing a lawsuit”.
Welcome to the SDMB, yakyakyak. The X-Files are not a documentary.
The fact that even the US media, which will use forged documents to try to smear Bush, would not touch this with a ten-foot pole, might indicate something to you as well.
Oh, give me a break… talk about introducing sheer nonsense into another thread for no reason. Allegedly forged documents, and the press wasn’t using it to smear Bush put to report on what looked like a real and legit story… and even without the allegedly forged documents it’s still a real and legit story.
Bush has had a freaking free ride from the press, at least compared to previous recent Presidents, and it’s just insane for you to try to paint this one incident as some attempt by journalism in general to “smear” anyone.
