#1 par for the course. Good catch in any case.

#2 This sort of lie is likely repeated, day in, day out, across the entire spectrum of MSM outlets. I appreciate ItM for publicizing this one - and I hope it's picked up by someone and drummed. Fox and MSNBC should run with it, for mercantile reasons alone - and if it happens it would be A Good Thing, regardless of the motive.

CNN, LOL. I pity James Earl Jones.

#5 This is cool - the MSM getting taken to the cleaners, and following on the heels of the recent Apple-blogger decision, this can only be bad news for them.

About time too - they've had a responsibility to report events in an impartial, non-biased way for years and have dropped the ball repeatedly.

#10 Now, now, the Left-MSM can watch and scrutinize us, the Right-Conservatives can't do the same back, and at their leisure while we need their permission. Compromise = CONcession, Absolute Neutrality/Sobjectivity = Absolute Reality-Objectivity. Can't we all get along, can't someone else do it, can't you take care of me wid out me having to do the same for you???

#11 Perfesser, would you be a dear and give the link again? Wikipedia doesn't seem to think it exists, and I'm not clever enough to search it out. Thanks!

#12 Front Page, MSM opperates on the principle "We don't have to fool all the people, all the time...."
