No it doesn't. But at least the 'fessed up when confronted by questions they couldn't answer. Not like one network which will remain unnamed...

Z, It's not CBS or Newsweek who has an audience that half of whom believes Saddam had anything to do with 9/11... and it's not CBS or Newsweek that over the last couple of years produced several stories insinuating findings of WMD in Iraq which were NOT true.

So that gives them the license to "lie" in order to tell the "truth"?


At least they stepped up right away and admitted that they lied. It took Bush two years to do the same. Oh wait, has he admitted that he lied?

No, I'm just saying that the press doesn't always get it right. Not that I'm sure that Newsweek's story wasn't actually true, and I'm pretty sure that Dan Rather's one was.
