Get it straight! MSNBC didn't claim anything. They were talking to a college professor who is also a Nam Vet.

Was he challenged? Did MSNBC present someone from the other side? Did anyone ask the guy making the claim how he definitively knew what actions 250 million people made 30 years ago?

Biased news rarely is clean cut as the lying that CBS and the NY Times have recently engaged in. But it also is not necessary when you present someone with credentials (whether relevant or not) and provide them with an uncritical platform. Thats biased reporting and the MSM regularly and skillfully engages in it.

Not everything has to be challenged as if it's "Hardball."

People complain all the time about Imus not challenging a guest, yet they seem to figure things out for themselves. It's why most of us are here on FR - getting another take on things.

I don't need to be told how to think by Rush or Sean or O'Reilly or anyone else.
