Doing mea culpas because they were too pro-administration on war coverage???? Why do they keel over with guilt when falsely charged with bias from the left, but pay almost no attention when the right points out true liberal bias? They seem to keep reaching for a "center" that is somewhere left of Marx.

Someone actually thinks the Washington Post is favorable to republican administrations. I've seen it all now. My life is complete. I can rest in peace after I pick myself up from rolling on the floor laughing.

I wish I would've saved some newspapers from the months between 9/11 and the start of the war. What I remember is the relentless onslaught against President George H.W. Bush for "not finishing the job in Iraq."

It was almost as if the media were trying to goad President Bush into going to war.

Geneva O. is a leftwing biased journalist.

I am not even reading most of her barf-alert material to bother to debunk it. Nowhere do they bother asking if 34 days straight of front-page Abu Graib stories was a bit much for the New York Times, but they have time to second guess themselves for being too hawkish pre war. gack.

Asking geneva if she is part of the biased liberal media is like asking a fish if it feels wet.

As far as 90% of the Western media is concerned, you never go to war against a country that is routinely firing missiles at your pilots because that would make too much sense. It would also involve defending Americans which the aforementioned 90% is 100% against.

Journalism Accountability

In another year does that mean they will check for accountability in the reporting of the SwiftBoat Vets?

My apologies. Clearly when I have suggested to the Washington Post that they had an unmistakable bias, I must have failed to note the subject of their bias was against Republicans, Conservatives, G.W., America, Christians and so on.

The WA POST, eager to review their pieces of journalism to ensure their integrity remain sound, attempted to find the subject of the bias on their own. Well, the effort is admirable but clearly they need to hire a tutor to help educate them on the definition of "bias" while instructing them in how to detect it in reporting.

There is no shame in admitting you need help WA POST. Well, maybe a little. All you need to do is admit you are Liberal. It's the first step towards recovery.

"With war looming, it is no good the American public looking to its newspapers for an independent voice. For the press have now become the president's men."

Don't worry: the shock wore off. They are back to being the "rigorous" investigational entities they once were.

Look at the due diligence applied to the Swiftboat Veteran for Truth/Kerry military record fraud story.

Just who is the press trying to fool? Now they're claiming they knew the war was a mistake, but were reluctant to disagree with the President! That's BS! From the beginning the media was trying to slant the news to make the war look "unjust" and a mess. They started calling it a "quagmire" about one month into the war. I'd never even heard that word before, but I've seen it in newspapers about a zillion times since the war started. The press is just about as anti-American as you can get and I'm getting sick of it. Who can remember the last time the main-stream media published a piece that said something positive about Bush or the war effort. The press makes me puke!
