8. And some of the best newspapers in the world sell the story
"all the news that's fit to print"...

The NY Times systematically misinformed its readers for a long time before the war.

When it became clear that there were no WMD, they said, oops, sorry, we should't have lied to you.

Two studies analyzing the performance of the newspapers:

1) Michael Massing, Now They Tell Us, The New York Review of Books, Volume 51, Number 3,

2) Chris Money, Columbia Journalism Review, Issue March/April 2004
