CORRECTING THE RECORD; Times Reporter Who Resigned Leaves Long Trail of Deception
Jayson Blair, 27, misled readers and Times colleagues with dispatches that purported to be from Maryland, Texas and other states, when often he was far away, in New York.

CNN and Eason Jordan (2003). Admitted bias, slanting the news. Eason Jordan, CNN’s news chief, admitted that CNN withheld reporting on Saddam Hussein’s atrocities so as to continue getting favored treatment from Saddam.

Joe Wilson’s Lies, A Timeline - Who Forged the Documents? (Vanity)
October 25, 2005 | wuli
And then:
July 6, 2003 - New York Times publishes Wilson’s now-famous op-ed. That account differs in important ways from the story Wilson has anonymously provided the Times, the Washington Post and the New Republic.

Wilson acknowledges for the first time he had not seen any forged document. “As for the actual memorandum, I never saw it. But news accounts have pointed out that the documents had glaring errors—they were signed, for example, by officials who were no longer in government—and were probably forged.” Wilson acknowledged the same thing in an appearance that morning on Meet the Press, saying, “I had not, of course, seen the documents.”

And still, the reason Joe Wilson was courted to write an op-ed for the New York Times and to appear on Meet the Press was not because his analysis of the Niger intelligence differed from that of the CIA or of Bush administration policymakers but because according to Wilson he was the man with the proof; but we know he had no such “proof”.

Wilson is no “whistleblower”, he is a lier and a man on a political agenda,
