I wonder how long we will have to wait for NBC Nightly News and Chris Matthews to admit their mistake ? I am sure that it will NEVER happen.

I was wrong I do not believe that it was a mistake. They did it undercover of the bogus Wash Post article. Fox has now jumped on the bandwagon I see.

Good one. The opposite of "incremental".

Just as errors that others make in itemized bills always seem to be in their favor, so too do the errors the MSM makes, and must retract, always seem to be those made in favor of the liberal perspective.

Have we ever seen the MSM have to retract anything favoring the conservative perspective? I can't recall any.

An analysis of MSM retractions and admitted errors might lend itself to a quantitative analysis measuring the degree of bias.

There is more statistical proof that the media are leftward-biased, than there is about anthropogenic
"glo-bull-warming".

WaPo Exclusive: Pentagon Inspector General's Report States Conclusively That Bush Admin Official Cooked Pre-War Intelligence!!!

Oh, Minor Correction: It Was A Report From Anti-War Democrat Carl Levin Which "Concluded" That. Whoops, Our Bad.


Long headline, but for one of the most egregious "twisted intelligence" debacles of all time.

They are not dead and most TV news reports are taken from AP and WaPO stories. Expect the entire country to know about the original story and no one to know about the correction.

And not ONE of these "duped" "journalists" will be pissed at Levin for making them look STUPID.

Thats probably because they weren't duped; they knew what they were doing and are probably surprised that their "news" paper actually issued a correction. They typically don't bother -- they just lie -- its what they do. But the WAPO is taking a lot of flack about that guy (Akin/arkin?) who called our troops mercenaries, and I would HOPE they are finally waking up and smelling the coffee. The "news" of today is not "news" it is just DNC crap, as was evidenced by the original report.

No, the "duped" so-called "journalists are Walter Pincus and R. Jeffrey Smith, who are notorious for their liberal bias and overall incompetence. Sounds like Pincus and/or Smith simply took dictation from Sen. Carl Levin and then got mixed up about which quotations were from Levin and which from the Acting IG's report.

This is a level of mendacious incompetence that should NEVER occur in a student newspaper, let alone the august, self-important WaPo.

The WaPo "correction" will never get the same attention or genuinely correct the misinformation that has now been spewed into the public arena.

This is why any correction of this magnitude should require a NEW front page story PLUS an editorial press conference to call attention to this staggering, biased incompetence. Even then, the MSM and the Demagogues would continue on with their Levin-supplied talking points, but at least there'd be an honest attempt to right the grave wrong performed here by Pincus, Smith, Levin, and the WaPo's worthless editors.

Re Carl Levin. He came out of a communist-dominated Detroit City Council in the 1970's. Before that, he was a normal Democrat with a good record of public service. He was the head of the Detroit City Council in 1975 when they hosted a KGB-led World Peace Council delegation.
Other DCC members with longtime CPUSA fronts and World Peace Council records were Erma Henderson, Maryann Mahaffey, and one man whose name escapes me right now. (Possibly Bullock).
These people had their photo taken with the WPC delegation, and Carl Levin is right next to Soviet agent of influence, Indian Communist Party leader Romesh Chandra, the president of the WPC.

I have this photo on my computer but I do not know how to post/paste it here. Someone sent me instructions but I need them in English. Do I copy the photo and COPY it to this posting box, or do I have to do something else?

Libs brazenly trot out lies, pretending they are bravely defending freedom of the press from that bad, bad Republican President Bush.

Yet, it was the Democratic Truman administration that was responsible for imposing full censorship on war correspondents during the Korean War [on January 9, 1951]

What does it really matter, until President Bush and Tony Snow start hammering this home and demanding equal time against the lying communist? I am tired.
