The reason I am posting so much criticism of the media is that the rise of blogdom has given birth an enormous amount of it. I post about one out of every ten I read. There are tons of bloggers watching, they "fact check" everybody, and link to each other.
I suspect the media is well aware of it by now. And it must smart.

CNN getting caught in it's own lie
As expected, crowds of protestors have greeted President Bush in Italy, where he is on a state visit ahead of this weekend's D-Day anniversary ceremonies in France.
CNN is reporting that protesters are numbering around a half-million.
Protesters swarmed the streets of central Rome after Bush met with Pope John Paul II, one of the strongest critics of the war. Police estimated the number of demonstrators at 500,000.
While the BBC has the number of protesters at a far more realistic 25,000, also based on police estimates.
Organisers say 150,000 people have turned out for the protest, while police put the figure at 25,000.
So which is it, CNN? 25,000 or a half-million? Anything to slander Bush and further your own so-called unbiased agenda? |
