Play at home and see if you can make the same decisions about credibility as the "liberal" media. Is something fact or an attack piece? How do you decide? Here are this weekend's two examples!

• The former "Conservative News Service" reports that credible war critic John Murtha (D-PA) said, many years ago, that he didn't deserve the Purple Heart medals he won in Vietnam. Murtha denies this. Harry Fox, who used to work as a staff member for Rep. John Saylor (R-PA), said in 1996 that Saylor told him (Fox) that Murtha had asked Saylor for help in getting Murtha's Purple Hearts, since Murtha didn't think he had enough documentation to convince the Pentagon.

  Saylor died in 1973. Fox ran for his seat and lost to Murtha. The GOP "news" service bringing you all this did not confirm the quote from Fox, because Fox (who obviously had a partisan reason to attack Murtha) is now 81 and in ill health, so they're really reporting that someone told them Fox said it. The editor-in-chief of CNS was the "senior producer for a televised news magazine" broadcast and financed by the RNC. CNS was the same group that brought you Jeff Gannon.

  Credible story?

  Answer: If you're the Washington Post, yes, it's credible. It ran on page A-5 of the Saturday edition.

  Update: Also credible, according to the Post, is an ombudsman's defense of the paper's reporting on the Jack Abramoff scandal. The ombudsman writes that Abramoff "made substantial campaign contributions to both major parties." That's a GOP lie.

• A new poll commissioned by anti-war advocates, but conducted by Rush Limbaugh-favorite and generally-approved polling firm Zogby International, asks US adults, "If President Bush wiretapped American citizens without the approval of a judge, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment?" Not a loaded question like "Should the President be able to wiretap terror suspects" - a neutral question describing the facts as they are known.

  52% of respondents agreed that Congress should consider impeaching such a President. Credible story?

  Answer: As of this writing, apparently not credible. A Google News search for "impeachment" shows no major national media outlets vying to break the story. Only one small California paper even appears to mention a poll showing that more than half of those polled think Congress should investigate impeaching George W. Bush.

  CNN's front page, however, does mention that Eminem remarried his ex-wife, and that there's a new version of the Toyota Camry.

Thanks for playing!
