This will be the nail in the coffin of the MSM.

They've stolen Rather's Fake But Accurate scam. Will Dan sue? Stay tuned.

The New York Times has developed quite a reputation for springing “weekend surprise” stories, to circulate widely and set a media meme, before those with more complete information return on Monday to start to disassemble the story’s veracity.

But Free Republic never sleeps. We can tear apart MSM lies any time day any day of the week.

Good piece. The NY Times insinuate and imply repeatedly that these Marines are guilty as the despicable Murtha did a month ago on the word of anonymous sources.

The NY Times is beneath contempt and Murtha is a man without honor.

The other is merely identified as “A second person who has been briefed on the inquiry.”

Maybe it's Murtha. He requested a briefing by the DoD and then went straight to the media. Maybe he is feeding details to the NYTs that are still classified?

I'm betting that he is taking but a tiny grain of truth, then making up gigantic lies of mountainous proportions to support that crap that he saying about the troops & the war!

The NYT KNOWS he is a lying traitor, but they, along with the rest of the MSM & the DNC don't care...I think they all truly believe that lies or truths mean nothing as long as their goal is accomplished. They believe they are sooooo superior to us that any means justify the end!

From your keyboard to God's "to do list". The sources are probably CIA and/or State!

You could reverse the depictions and it would still be true.

IMHO, until some tort attorney steps in, this nonsense will always be with us. The deliberate, or negligent reporting or manufacture of "news", by professional journalists, has very real emotional and financial liabilities to the misrepresented soldiers and their families. I regard it as "journalistic malpractice"...it is not responsible for society and our nation to continue to tolerate this. These attempts to manufacture 'news' have an associated product liability, where proven false.
