Even a Pulitzer-winning journalist from one of America's great newspapers should be able to see that without a lot of trouble.
The Nobel and Pulitzer prizes will only be referred to in the future as punch lines.
And if affiliated with the NY Times, pinch lines.
These liberals just keep giving each other awards...and the beat goes on.
Their self congradulation is hilarious. They are trying to replay Watergate and Vietnam...and they just look damned silly.
Not "every" reporter and news outlet, of course, but the percentage of confirmable inaccuracy, blatant dishonestly and propagandizing in the industry is now high enough to make all news reporting inherently questionable.
The biggest problem with the press, next to their blatant bias, is their absolute laziness. They take a source and run with the story without checking it out, especially if it fits their agenda. We've seen this multiple times, recently. Notable stories include this Gulag nonsense, the TANG/Bush documents, and the phony Iranian-forged Iraqi ballot story. You may as well read the tabloids.
Circle jerks.
