According to
MediaMatters , on April 21, 2005, Wilson presentedTom DeLay 's own misleading talking points without rebuttal, specifically that he was being targeted by "a left-wing syndicate" (apparently directly quoted from an email DeLay sent to his supporters in the Houston area entitled 'What the press isn't telling you,').
