"Faced with the revelation that almost all the prewar arguments for invading Iraq were wrong -- the existence of weapons of mass destruction, close links to Al Qaeda"


Journalistic fraud. Opinion stated as if it were fact. Journalist to be terminated, Editor sent back to retake Journalism 101.

IMHO, this is the main thing journalists do wrong on a consistent basis, and no one calls them on it. You can find it in almost every article in the paper and news magazines. Very few journalists have any credibility anymore. It sure doesn't look like they teach it in journalism school to me.
