Hillary was attacked for telling the truth. There really is a very well-funded and vicious extreme rightwing conspiracy, and it reaches right into the congress and White House. Proof is the newest Deny Hastert smear that George Soros is connected with drug cartels. As if. BTW: I don't know who the hell Soros really is or why he distrusts Bush, but I do know the following: 1) Soros was the mystery man who bailed Bush out of Harken Energy in his insider trading scam 2) Soros is so "liberal" he's in with the Carlyle Group too(in other words not liberal) 3) Soros is the big cheese in Hungary because when I was in Budapest I saw articles about him all over the place. 4) So far as I know Soros is not a white collar crooks just a borderline Gordon Gecko. I do know Steve Bing personally who gave the Dems 16 mill this year. He is innocent. Just a dude who likes to hang out and inherited 800 million.

"It is the function of journalism to separate fact from fiction. In covering the Republican National Convention of 2004, the media made isolated efforts to point out some of the convention speakers' more egregious distortions, but on the whole failed in their vital role of letting citizens know when they are being lied to. ... "It's telling that when faced with real distortions, not on trivial matters of little consequence to voters or the campaign, but on life-or-death matters that are central to the presidential debate, most journalists become agnostics regarding the truth or falsity of the smears they pass along." from fair.org
