It appears the breathless hour-on-the-hour reports about Haditha are fading from the DBM 'news'. Wonder if the story is too phony-bologna even for them to hype it. I'm betting the DBM will just simply stop talking about it; no apologies.

The late Reed Irvine of Accuracy in Media had a very telling line about the press ( this was during the Clinton scandals, but applies everywhere ):

If the press does not like a story, they just won't talk about it.

I think after 3 retractions from Time's original stories on this, with many more to come, some MSM outlets have realized they are playing with fire.
