The Rathergate MSM is telling us about ethics now?

As the premier experts for faking the news, the LMSM weighs in.
If it's the truth, there's nothing wrong. We shouldn't pay them to lie. But if the state of the media in Iraq is that they won't write anything unless they are paid, then we should pay them.
I doubt the Iraqis care about this story nearly as much as the LA Times does.
Bad title, I thought this was about the MSM.
MSM just pissing and moaning because the Iraqi's are not praising terrorists according to MSM template.
Propaganda is as much a tool of war as bullets. Good for them.
Someone needs to ask Mr. Edelman if he would characterize the work of Lowell Thomas and the Movietone News programs during World War II as "a perversion of our business".
I've yet to hear a single mention of the recent CNN debacle where we all learned that CNN actually paid Saddam cash money to be allowed to stay in Iraq and broadcast to the world. Saddam's conditions also required that CNN submit the stories to be broadcast for review and revision. CNN denied this report at first, then caved and admitted it. If this isn't world class hypocrisy, then I don't know the meaning of the word. As far as I am concerned, all media pigs that spout this crap should be thrashed in a public square. Liars one and all.
The Los Angeles Times reported this week that U.S. military officials are paying Iraqi newspapers to run canned, favorable "stories" that praise the work of U.S. and Iraqi troops, laud the rebuilding efforts and denounce the insurgents."
Yes, this is a scandal!
The scandal is this: The print Al Qaed a propaganda for FREE ...

... and they refuse to admit their own bias, and then whine about pro-American bias when it is suggested they report fairly on what we are doing.
I will enjoy the decline and fall of the Liberal MSM empire.
