Sure will. One thing is for certain. Nobody is talking about the issues that the NYT wanted them to talk about. Nobody is sitting around saying, gee, did Bush fail to secure those weapons? Nope, now just about everyone is asking at the very least, gee, were those weapons ever really there?
In short, just as in Rathergate, the media has become the story.
Nevermind the fact the NYT made Bush's case for going to war in an article designed to bring his candidacy down. The one thing missing from the NYT article is the timeline of events. This is how the NYT is making their story credible by omitting the very obvious.
