"Journalists" lie, truth dies
There you go again. The Center for Public Integrity has decided that the time is right to trot out the lie that the Bush administration purposefully, and with malice aforethought, "orchestrated [a] campaign of misinformation about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq."
The report on the Bush adminstration's "orchestrated deception on the path to war," chronicles "at least 935 false statements in the two years following September 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq."
There continues to be little evidence that any of the people chronicled making any of the statements noted knew the statements were false when they made them. Yes, there were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq (I personally believe that they were smuggled into Syria in the weeks leading up to the war), but the CPI's leap to accuse Bush adminstration officials of lying has no basis in fact.
And you've just got to love how the CPI and its partner, the Fund for Independence in Journalism, are characterized:
A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations...
Yeah, those unbiased non-profit journalism organizations -- both of whom list funding from the Rockefeller funds and the Streisand Foundation. The CPI has also received funding from the Heinz(-Kerry) Endowments and the Ford Foundation.
The next time the Media Research Center is referenced in an Associated Press article merely as a "media watchdog group" -- without the "conservative" label -- I'll eat my hat.
This is nothing more than an ideological hit job. If they were honest about wanting to chronicle the false statements made by public officials leading up to the Iraq War, they would've included some of these:

In other news, the highly partisan Swift Boat....
These guys are funded by George Soros. What more needs to be said? The MSM has no monopoly on the distribution of news anymore. The public realizes it's getting half the story, and audiences and circulation reflect that.
