So I just heard from the MSM that perhaps Judy Miller's reporting |
|
wasn't so good. Apparently she was just playing stenographer to the Administration! Golly, I wish we would have know about this earlier!
:mad:
Perhaps the friggin MSM could have read DU *before* they helped start the war?

What was their first clue?
Do these clowns do anything but copy and paste old news off of blogs?

4. Just for the record we had DUers citing the NYT and especially Miller... |
|
...on the run up to the invasion. Most haven't been around in a while.

I remember the whole "aluminum tubes" crappola being debunked here virtually real time with the claim.
DU is so far ahead of the press...

11. And we had significantly more saying, "So what?" |
|
For every person crying foul, DU had hundreds telling the truth.
The ratio in the MSM was approximately the opposite.

5. Miller said as much herself. I remember a talk she gave at a |
|
university where she said that, as a journalist, her job was to 'relay the administration's message without filtering it' or something to that effect. Basically, to act as a PA system.

They're just trying to cover their own sorry asses. Remember their ENDLESS "March To War?" "Shock and Awe?" Day after day after day after freakin' day? I do.
