Newsweek's Michael Isikoff and Wash Post's Richard Cohen pre July 4 comments were in error - but mainstream news still pretends they found errors in F911 - why?

1. Because that's what they're paid to say?

:shrug:

[papau]

2. BINGO - I think you win the prize - although they will claim it is common

knowledge or CW

and stop the discussion.

[Bullshot]

6. Because Karl Rove directed them to do so.

[tridim]

3. Do you really not know the answer to that question?

The media isn't honest about anything, why would their portrayal of F-9/11 be any different?

[NYCGirl]

4. The media is just lazy. (eom)

[Festivito]

5. More profit in the "both sides do it" theme.

They don't have to be paid -- directly. Just doing the best for the company. And, if their boss notices, they get a raise.

Also, the people are lazy. Expecially swing voters. Mr. Moore never directly addressed the 'fifty-nine deceits' paper. That's where I was blindsided.

So, I'll try and put my response on your other thread.

7. 96% of the media is Bush supporters

And they don't want the truth to come out about these evil A$$HOLES. Because you know yourself if they really wanted the American people to know the truth they have everything they could ever possibly need to investigate alot of the issues at hand. They have it all right at their fingertips and are to danm lazy to use it. Some of these A$$HOLES alredy know the truth and don't want the American public to know because they are being paid off or getting massive tax breaks for doing it, you have those that just flat out don't want to know the truth for fear it would bring down their precious republican party and their friends, then you have those that are just flat A$$ lazy and believe everything they are told as if it was gospel, and as for the other 3% some of them don't want to know the truth because if they did they would most likely spill the beans and if that was to happen they would have to worry about losing their jobs which some have families to support and couldn't afford to lose there job because they know the evil A$$holes would keep them from getting another media job, then you have those who are just flat out dumb and scared of their own shadow (Alan Colmes), and last you have the very, very, few that will actually report what they know and do their best to stay on top of the story and make sure they have all the facts about it right (Kieth Olberman). You have to respect Keith for what he does because he is taking a big chance with his job by doing this because if you remember correctly they got rid of Phil Donahue for speaking the truth. This is the facts about our sorry A$$ media so if our side gets acknowledged for anything you better be thankful and give ourselves a ribbon so to speak because these people are flat out not on our side. Where in the hell this liberal media shit comes in at is a mystry to me because there is not a damn thing liberal or fair about the media today. There are to many corrupt greedy A$$HOLES involved with all their dumba$$ reporters following in their paths like a bunch of dogs in heat! This my friends is why the truth never gets reported and it never will until something is done to put a stop to all the damn corruption involved.

8. Because they were too lazy to fact check and just relied on RW talking

points about the film.
