"Looks like the TANK SPARKERS are pretty DESPARATE to me!"

You sound like the knight from Monty Python's The Holy Grail who is flopping around on the ground after losing all his limbs telling the guy who chopped all his limbs off to come back and fight.
Let me quote from the Accuracy in Media website: "Accuracy In Media is a non-profit, grassroots citizens watchdog of the news media that critiques botched and bungled news stories and sets the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage". Irvine, (one of the leading advocates of the missile theory and chairman of the organization that provides funding for Donaldson's site), is duped by a story so ridiculous it took most folks seconds to figure out it was a lie. The man who has become the self-appointed figurehead for ensuring "accuracy" in the media publishes a story that requires so little research to debunk that he did it himself after making just a few phone calls. Then, after a month's worth of wild accusations he publishes a clintonian mea culpa in which he waits until the last paragraph to state the obvious..."He lied to me, and I regret having been deceived by him." But without missing a beat he quickly adds "But his lie is nothing compared to our government’s lies about TWA 800."
And your only reponse to that is to pat him on the back for publishing a retraction, and then call anyone who doesn't believe his tripe "desperate".
