15. Coming clean: I don't accept their apologies,
and I don't believe them. Naturally journalists know that they cannot believe everything the WH presents to them, especially in war times. If they do, however, they don't adhere to the very basic standards of their profession.

Take the NYT: Their war support was probably not so obvious, compared to Fox, but much more subtle, so that they could probably influence a lot of the more intelligent people, whereas FOX and CNN catered the dumb masses. But I see the danger that the "subtle" war support of the NYT convinced opinion leaders of the war.
