Marc Morano, Sr. Staff Writer for CNSNews, former producer/Man in Washington Reporter for Rush Limbaugh, and a regular contributor to Changing Worldviews radio, has come under fire for his article questioning the legitimacy of Murtha's Purple Hearts. Here is an excerpt from CBS News on this:
"The attack, reminiscent of the 2004 Swift Boat Veterans for Truth chargesagainst John Kerry, came in the form of an "investigative" story by CNSNews.comreporters Marc Morano and Randy Hall questioning the legitimacy of Murtha'sPurple Hearts. Cybercast News Service is a subsidiary of conservative media critic Brent Bozell's Media Research Center.
The news service was founded in 1998 as an alternative to allegedly liberally biased news services. It has a staff of 12 reporters in the U.S. and abroad who file stories for the Cybercast News Web site and for subscribers, like GOPUSA, who pay to put the content on their sites. Most staffers have conservative credentials, as well as some type of reporting background, and they claim to be reputable journalists catering to a conservative audience. Marc Morano, who wrote the article on Murtha, is a former producer for the Rush Limbaugh Show, and his bio touts a real coup: he was the first journalist to have his camera confiscated by the Clinton White House. Their reporters are credentialed to cover the U.S. Congress, the State Department, the Pentagon, the European Parliament and the Israeli Knesset. They say they haven't tried to get a "hard pass" for the White House lately, but can get access via day passes."
Here's Marc's Response:
"The Dean of the White House Press Corps, Helen Thomas, has assured me multiple times that until 1993, there had never been a TV camera seized in the history from a credentialed journalist at the White House. Thomas herself, personally marched me into the Clinton White Press office to demand an apology for taking my camera on September 21, 1993. I was on assignment for "Rush Limbaugh: The Television Show" at the time where I served as his onscreen "Our Man in Washington" correspondent/producer during the program's four year run from 1992-1996. NBC News's Andrea Mitchell reported on the camera confiscation on that evening's NBC Nightly News."
Marc will be on the show soon to tell us the whole story. So, stay tuned.
