Now they are doing fact checks.In the run up to war the silence was deafening.I am sure the families of the 4000 Americans dead really appreciate the diligence of AP.If it was possible to put the media on trial for negligence I would love to be the prosecutor.Nuremburg part deux complicity in killing 4000 americans and untold numbers of Iraqi’s.

But, but, but, this contradicts what my beloved FOX News has been saying??

Who to believe?
“Mommy, my brain is starting to think and it hurts. Make it stop! Make it stop!”
Ahhh, FOX is now running a special on Britney Spears, now i can relax and return to my vegetative mode. ahhhhhh...

You mean that Bu$h is actually going to let the real facts get in his way. Whatever will he do if the truth comes out and his little lying vendetta for daddy/oil theft schemes are exposed to everyone? What would Der Karl do?

Does this mean that the efforts of the blogosphere to bring some journalistic standards (like fact checking instead of simply echoing talking points) is starting to have some effect?
I sure hope so, the loss on journalistic integrity was a significant factor in bringing us to our current sorry state.
