The Alleged war atrocity that wasn't

This morning, the New York Times' Tom Zeller--one of the few on the case--follows up his blog coverage with an article that calls for separating "hyperbole from horror." Unfortunately, Zeller's article doesn't succeed at doing so--and has left the impression that he is, as Lucianne.com writes, "sneering at the blogosphere." Left out of the article, as Allah notes, is Zeller's discovery that the NYTimes reporter in Iraq could not substantiate the story.

I am not able to actually listen to Rush, but I am trying to understand whether the hypothesis of this book is that the media is genuinely falsely reporting or whether it is the job of the media to act as a megaphone for the President.

The former is bad, the latter is a false premise.

I certainly am no fan of the MSM, but it just plain isn't their job to echo the President. On the other hand, no news organization in the US seems capable of actually reporting facts without interjecting opinion.

Turn on CNN international and you would be surprised how different the reporting is from the US version.

Thank you Military personel, that do the work.
