2. I love going back to their "Gloat and quote" special
from a year ago, when the stupid statue fell, they mock the people that turned out to be right.

Special Gloat and Quote Edition:
Media's Erroneous Predictions

Though more fighting lies ahead and there are certainly still pockets of Saddam Hussein loyalists who pose a threat to our troops, the jubilant crowds filling Baghdad streets today, culminating in the toppling of a huge Hussein statue downtown, certainly undermines and contradicts much of the fearmongering and dire forecasts advanced by the media about Iraqis supporting Hussein and being willing to take up guns themselves to defend him.

Since time is of the essence as I wanted to get this out before the end of the business day in the East, below is basically an archive dump of what we've found in a cut and paste review of past CyberAlerts and Notable Quotables.

I've placed an * on the left by the most ridiculous assertions and now foolish looking ominous warnings issued by journalists.

5. it's funded by Richard Mellon Scaife.....
...and part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

In case you do not know, liberals now have one of these of their own. It's called Media Matters.

Check it out each day for the new outrage from the wingnut press.
