    Typical liberal media spin on things.

    In this case, the fact that the dominant media seems to mostly have a
    "liberal" bent is probably only coincidental.

    However, in this case, it got a bunch
    of people killed. They are so blinded by their hatred of Bush that they
    scramble for any scrap of anything that will cause him and his
    administration harm .

    More likely sheer incompetence and the pursuit of fame, riches,
    notoriety, etc. The pursuit of everything *but* journalistic
    accuracy and integrity.

    You would think that after Dan Rather's ordeal, the pukes would learn.
    Liberals are so stupid.

    They have learned that the publication of outrageous stories with
    lots of shock value sells magazines. Just as the various other
    "news" outlets ("news"papers, radio, TV, what-have-you) have learned
    the same. Selling their entertainment product (for that's what it
    is--it certainly isn't "news"😉 to the largest audience they can
    garner, regardless the reason, sells advertising space. Advertising
    space is where the money is.

    I dissagree. There are scores of things that come up that are very
    newsworthy, but the Leftwing press ignores because of a negative impact on
    Leftwing causes and/or agenda.
