Great post re Tweety. What turns a modern journo faster than access is cold cash. A job with six or seven figures will go a long way from the horrors of poverty. Tim Russert is alleged to have said about selling out (money, power and truth): "Integrity? It's for paupers!"

Thus, Tweety the Turd chose wrongly. The great DUer James DiEugenio explains "Why Mr. Hardball found JFK Elusive."

Personally, I think Tweety does the best he can; unfortunately, resulting in much misinformation.
