I am proud to join brityank,xzins and Just A Nobody in nominating Time magazine and Tim McGirk for this award they so richly deserve. I too have great praise for Red Rover in exposing the deliberate slander of fine Marines by Time and McGirk,and later John Murtha. Buckheads vigilance in proving the fraud of Rathergate pales in comparison to the Herculean efforts of RR.

To be honest I didn't notice that my spellchecker had grabbed them too; they are very appropriate!       ;^)

Thanks, Smooth -- I never thought I would see anything to match the duplicitous actions of Rather and Mapes, but I think that the Haditha cases have caused at least as much damage to America's Psyche as the unabashed electioneering by the MSM for Gore. God save us from Hillary or Obama.

Hasn’t this trophy been officially retired and just awarded to Reuters on a permanent basis?

The New York Times on a Swift Boat to Court?

NYT Reporter Accuses Bush Administration of Lying About Anti-Terror Program
By Clay Waters | March 27, 2008
You may remember that Lichtblau and Times colleague James Risen, broke the news about the classified National Security Agency’s wiretapping program in December 2005, ignoring pleas from the White House. Six months later those same two reporters, in an even more egregious revelation of classified information, revealed classified details about SWIFT, a U.S.-instigated international bank surveillance program.

I’m not going to call Bill O’Reilly a liar... yet, but... on his TV show today, he read off a laundry list of ridiculous “hate” statements like “I hate blacks,” “Hillary should be assassinated” and “homosexuals are dogs” that he said he personally found on Free Republic and claims that they were posted here today. I do not believe that. I doubt that he personally logged on to FR and I doubt he found any such thing posted here today.

Bill O’Reilly Slams Freerepublic
Sunday, July 29, 2007 6:49:13 PM · by WyCoKsRepublican · 195 replies · 7,578+ views
I recently tuned in to the Radio Factor to hear Bill O’Reilly saying that he was hated by Freerepublic and that it was an extreme right wing blog. First of all, Mr. O’Reilly is not hated. I have a lot of respect for the man, his honesty, integrity and point of view. What I don’t like, as do many Freepers, is that when he is on target on some key issues, he is way off target on others. He needs to realize that we even disagree amongst ourselves quite often. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1873427/posts

Situation Called Dire in West Iraq
Anbar Is Lost Politically, Marine Analyst Says
By Thomas E. RicksWashington Post Staff Writer

Anbar Rising
By Bill Roggio May 11, 2007 2:38 PM
Sheik Abdul Sattar Al-Rishawi and his allies among the tribes and anti al Qaeda insurgent groups began forming alliances in the spring and summer of 2006. In September, the groups established the Jazeera Council in Ramadi, and began working more closely with Coalition forces to begin securing neighborhoods in Ramadi. The Sahawah Al Anbar, which followed the success of the Jazeera Council, was formed in October. The Awakening provided the disparate groups with a political platform, and began to work closely with the Coalition and establishing ties with the Iraqi government.

False Boos Reported at Bush Rally September 03, 2004
The trouble is, the boos never showed up on the audio tape and multiple witnesses claim there was no booing at all. The story has since been changed twice without a formal retraction. And several AP feed sites still contain the original version.

The Associated Press Makes It Up September 03, 2004
I’ve long said that the Associated Press is the nation’s worst source of media bias. But this one, frankly, blows me away. It was first noted, I think, by Freepers and followed up on by Swimming Through the Spin, linked to by InstaPundit.

Jayson Blair, 27, misled readers and Times colleagues with dispatches that purported to be from Maryland, Texas and other states, when often he was far away, in New York.

CNN and Eason Jordan (2003). Admitted bias, slanting the news. Eason Jordan, CNN’s news chief, admitted that CNN withheld reporting on Saddam Hussein’s atrocities so as to continue getting favored treatment from Saddam.

Joe Wilson’s Lies, A Timeline - Who Forged the Documents? (Vanity)
October 25, 2005 | wuli
And then:
July 6, 2003 - New York Times publishes Wilson’s now-famous op-ed. That account differs in important ways from the story Wilson has anonymously provided the Times, the Washington Post and the New Republic.

Wilson acknowledges for the first time he had not seen any forged document. “As for the actual memorandum, I never saw it. But news accounts have pointed out that the documents had glaring errors—they were signed, for example, by officials who were no longer in government—and were probably forged.” Wilson acknowledged the same thing in an appearance that morning on Meet the Press, saying, “I had not, of course, seen the documents.”

And still, the reason Joe Wilson was courted to write an op-ed for the New York Times and to appear on Meet the Press was not because his analysis of the Niger intelligence differed from that of the CIA or of Bush administration policymakers but because according to Wilson he was the man with the proof; but we know he had no such “proof”.

Wilson is no “whistleblower”, he is a lier and a man on a political agenda,
