Another Case of "Fake, but Accurate"?

Powerline has been featuring frequent updates as it blasts through the BS on this "GOP Talking-Points Memo" controversy.

That blog's John Hinderaker - the force behind the fisking - is featured today in the "Daily Standard" edition of the Weekly Standard Online providing an excellent rundown of the issues surrounding its lack of authenticity as well as its possible source - and asks the question: "Where is the MSM on this?"

"There is little danger that anyone will forget the "infamous" memo any time soon; the mainstream media will make sure of that. So far, mainstream news sources have not even acknowledged that the source of the memo is in doubt, let alone set forth the compelling arguments suggesting that, in fact, it might be a political dirty trick. This is a case where the truth, as the old saying goes, is still lacing up its shoes."

We need a blogswarm and we need it now.

UPDATE: Fred Barnes writes a companion piece on the story, also in the "Daily Standard", that's worth reading
