The Sacramento Bee?

A week in June

Mr. Rodriguez wrote "How Readers can help keep the Bee on its Toes"; Ms. Creamer writes "Quite possibly" in response to her question on whether the administration has lied about WMD.

The Bee wrote two retractions for the false front-page allegations against our government written by Bee staff! The front-page headline retraction (I did this!) was hidden on A-2.

The Bee totally misstated the problems behind the resignations of the two members of the NYT management.

The Ombudsman mentioned that it takes weeks for the Bee to put forth the government position on the Jessica Lynch rescue. The smear was front-page headline but the government version was A-26.

A Bee editor writes that one should identify their agenda when writing to the editor. The Bee routinely uses unnamed sources and puts their (sometimes false) claims in front page headlines. The Bee interviews people and puts their quotes on the front page without identifying the affiliations and agendas of those they interview.

The Bee ran three "puff" articles as news on the new Hillary book.

Did the Bee let their liberal bias influence the news? Quite possibly.

And the next week? Where is the coverage about the Baghdad museum that was NOT looted?
