Former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV's allegations that President Bush misled the country about Saddam Hussein seeking uranium from Africa was a huge media story, fueled by an investigation into who outed his CIA-operative wife. According to a database search, NBC carried 40 stories, CBS 30 stories, ABC 18, The Washington Post 96, the New York Times 70, the Los Angeles Times 48.
But a Senate Intelligence Committee report that contradicts some of Wilson's account and supports Bush's State of the Union claim hasn't received nearly as much attention. "NBC Nightly News" and ABC's "World News Tonight" have each done a story. But CBS hasn't reported it -- despite a challenge by Republican Chairman Ed Gillespie on CBS's "Face the Nation," noting that the network featured Wilson on camera 15 times. A spokeswoman says CBS is looking into the matter.
Newspapers have done slightly better. The Post, which was the first to report the findings July 10, has run two stories, an editorial and an ombudsman's column; the New York Times two stories and an op-ed column; and the Los Angeles Times two stories. Wilson, meanwhile, has defended himself from what he calls "a Republican smear campaign" in op-ed pieces in The Post and Los Angeles Times.

The Wilson lies spins of ABCNNBC BS were so bad that even the Compost is pointing out how wrong they were.
Off course a large part of the Wilson blogging came from the NY Slimes, Compost and LA Slimes and their anti GW lies/spins/mantras a year ago.
Look below.
How long did they "look into the matter" before putting Wilson on the air the first time? Hypocrites, liars, and seditious pukes. In other words, leftists!
The difference between our media now and the Pravda in the USSR is that all the Russians KNEW the Pravda was biased.
Ah, I see. OK. Thanks. I wasn't accusing...........
