The kid probably still thinks one person was waterboarded 183 times because the NYTimes said it was true.

"The kid probably still thinks one person was waterboarded 183 times because the NYTimes said it was true."

We are in dangerous territory. In the old Orwellian Soviet Union, the state's organ of deliberately false propaganda was called "Truth".

Today, the MSM can filter, bend, or deliberately lie, and people accept it as "truth" because for many years the press built a reputation of seeking the truth. Despite the Jayson Blairs and Stephen Glasses, the MSM is not eroded in the eyes of most people, who in today's litigious society, believe if it is in print, it must be true, otherwise, someone would sue.
