At first I wanted to post under "Humor" for the stupid remarks that Gilligan made.
But I'll just post this without my usual disgust for Gilligan's reporting.

So Gilligan was doing exactly what he was accusing the government of doing...lying. But it's OK for him to do it. He is a liberal journalist.
To: BushisTheMan
Yea, sure. The journalists should be given a margin of error, but the same standard can't be held for politicians? Horse Hockey!
That's what the corrections column is for!

The law did not require 'a standard of perfection' from reporters, it argued. "There has to be a latitude " a margin for error.
Tell all your NPR type friends flat out: "THE BBC LIED!" Tell them over and over again. Use this to prove it.

If he wants to write fiction all well and good--but he must realize the difference between truthful reporting and fiction. And there should be no "gimees" for reporters.

Reporters should be given 'a margin for error' when dealing with matters of clear public interest, particularly on political issues, he argued.Even if it does drive a man to commit suiucide?
