Don't Believe Everything You Read, Pt. 3

It turns out that shady ex-ABC News consultant's fakery runs a lot deeper than one bogus Obama interview. ABCNews.com is reporting that Alexis Debat also produced phony interviews with Michael Bloomberg, Nancy Pelosi, Alan Greenspan and Kofi Annan.

While continuing to deny any wrongdoing, Debat has resigned from the Nixon Center, where he was a senior fellow. (The think tank has already scrubbed his presence from its website, but you can see the archived version of his page here.)

Oh yeah, and it turns out Debat may have been feeding ABC hyped-up intelligence intended to buttress the case for a war against Iran. Charming.
