OK, he didn’t miss it – Janet Cooke – I was close – it was about an 8-year old heroin addict.

The list is missing one fabulist from a few years back. I remember that it was a woman who wrote for a big-city paper in the East. There were articles about a boy with drug-addicted parents, or something like that.

There’s a reason they’re called the drive-by media.

These leftist blogger types are not going to give up the “victim-soldier” narrative, it’s too hard wired into their psyche. All the way back to John F’n Kerry before the senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971, their point is that soldiers would have been ordinary people if not for the evil republican-defense complex that transformed them into mindless killing machines. They deserve our pity, not our admiration. The poor dupes, somebody has to save them!

Proving this inaccuracy is a necessary thing, but don’t expect that being caught lying is going to change anything. Did Rathergate change anything with the media? Nope. Names and faces might change, but the agenda marches on as always. When the media take casualties in their PR war against the right, they just medevac off the front lines and replenish the ranks to march on toward a liberal America, which is their mission.

It’s no surprise there’s been no comment from TNR. To them, the Beauchump story is so 5 minutes ago!
