The business of reporting news is flawed just like every other business on the face of the earth. Does that mean it's a vast conspiracy to push one agenda or another, stretching over multiple news outlets and hundreds of thousands, millions, of people? Of course not, it means that sometimes reporters do a good job, sometimes they do a bad job, just like you and me. And some of them lack integrity, just as a few in every profession lack integrity.
But when our government engages in the kind of blatant propaganda moves I described above, centered ultimately in Karl Rove's office, THAT is something to be concerned about. Unfortunately, the Bushies seem more concerned about teddy bears than the admin paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to a reporter to write fake stories.
