The Briefing - 12.23.04

This will be the last Briefing until 12.28. I will be taking some vacation time to visit family in Nebraska.

It is unlikely that the CBS investigation on Rathergate will issue its report while I am away. It is becoming unlikely that the report will ever see the light of day.

The Michael Jackson trial has had an interesting week. Earlier the judge in the case denied a defense motion to dismiss the charges and another motion to delay the beginning of the trial was also denied.

A potential defense witness for Jackson who may also be one of the unnamed conspirators announced to the public that he will not be testifying in the trial. Vincent Amen, a former Jackson employee, announced through his attorney that he would not testify unless granted immunity and would NOT testify for the defense.

In another Jackson legal battle, Jackson ex-wide Debbie Rowe gained ground in her custody battle for the Jackson children when a judge voided the previous "parental termination" order which denied her any rights at all.

This gives Rowe a huge leap forward in her attempt to be a part of the lives of Prince Michael and Paris Katherine.

While I am gone, here are several places to look for news and information that is balanced and not, as Laura Ingrahm calls it, tragedy media.
The Kerry Spot on National Review Online
WorldNetDaily - A Free Press for a Free People
The Weekly Standard

More on the 28th.
