3. NY Times website
the abuse story is number one on page one ...

here's a link to the story (free registration required): http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/26/politics/26ABUS.html?...

still, i agree that our media have the attention span of a flea ... we can't be worrying about all that Iraq stuff ... bush just told us terrorists are in our country and will attack us this summer ...

again, no evidence is presented ... again, the media do no investigation ... they just spread the administration's words ... the NY Times apologized (well, sort of) for their shoddy reporting on the WMD story ... they explained that their editors just accepted the lies that Judith Miller (they didn't name her) told them ... and yet, here we go again ...

the American media are failing this country ... we cannot have a press that fails to comment on the administration's motives for releasing information ...

bush needs to shift the focus away from Iraq and back to terrorism ... his Iraq policy has created tens of thousands of new Al Qaeda recruits ... so, as his polls fall to dangerous new lows, here comes our fourth estate shouting his warnings from the roof tops ...

the American media are totally pathetic ...
