The article attempts to point out the hypocrisy of the liberal news media, and it accomplishes that aim quite well.

And also points out the hypocrisy of the "legitimate media" (ha ha ha) when they try to draw a distinction between their journalistic practices and those of Matt Drudge and others. Where were Time Magazine's vaunted fact checkers and editors when this article came around the first time?

Time magazine knows just what they did. Its plain to see the first story and then the second right before your eyes. That is what the liberal bias media does with most all their stories.

TIME MAGAZINE PRESS RELEASE WAS FALSE

Please note that this isn't a Press Release as their first false one was.
Liberal Time Magazine is filled with left wing lies and Race baiting.

Correction
The following correction was issued by TIME on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2003

The article "Look Away, Dixieland" [Jan. 27] stated that President George W. Bush "quietly reinstated" a tradition of having the White House deliver a floral wreath to the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery — a practice "that his father had halted in 1990."

First, the elder president Bush did not, as TIME reported, end the decades-old practice of the White House delivering a wreath to the Confederate Memorial; he changed the date on which the wreath is delivered from the day that some southern heritage groups commemorate Jefferson Davis's birthday to the federal Memorial Day holiday.

Second, according to documents provided by the White House this week, the practice of delivering a wreath to the Confederate Memorial on Memorial Day continued under Bill Clinton as it does under George W. Bush.

From what I understand Time Magazine was slammed but Good for this little race baiting lie from the liberal magazine of falsehoods!

GEORGE W. BUSH HAS QUIETLY REINSTATED PRACTICE OF PAYING HOMAGE TO CONFEDERATE HERO JEFFERSON DAVIS
Bush White House Sending Memorial Day Wreath To Confederate Memorial in Arlington National Cemetary -- A Practice His Father Halted In 1990

Sunday, Jan. 19, 2003
New York -- George W. Bush has quietly reinstated a tradition, that his father halted in 1990, of paying homage to the greatest hero of the Confederacy -- Jefferson Davis, TIME's Karen Tumulty and Michael Weisskopf report.

Last Memorial Day, for the second year in a row, Bush's White House sent a floral wreath to the Confederate Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery. It?s not clear why, after more than a decade's lapse, the current Bush White House resumed this symbolic tribute to the Old South. But one of the organizations connected to the ceremony is the Sons of Confederate Veterans, whose "Chief Aide-de-Camp" is Richard T. Hines, an influential figure in South Carolina politics. In that state's brutal 2000 Republican primary, Hines reportedly helped finance tens of thousands of letters blasting Bush rival John McCain for failing to support the flying of the Confederate flag over the state capitol. Despite repeated requests by TIME, Hines declined to comment, TIME reports.

George W. Bush issued a stern rebuke to Senator Trent Lott in December for his praise of the segregationist 1948 presidential bid of Strom Thurmond. Bush has revived the tradition, dating back to Woodrow Wilson, that his father had halted in 1990.

The elder Bush was weary of infighting among various Confederacy groups, so his White House declined to participate altogether. "No one saw a wreath from 1990 until George W. Bush got elected," said John Edward Hurley, head of the Confederate Memorial Association in Washington. His account is echoed by numerous participants in the annual event, TIME reports.
