WASHINGTON POST BUYS INTO WHITE HOUSE SPIN:

I expected better from the wpPOST!!

"http://www.americanprogressaction.org/site/pp.asp?c=klLWJcP7H&b=237258"

WASHINGTON POST BUYS INTO WHITE HOUSE SPIN: The Washington Post – a pillar of the so-called liberal media – skips any mention of the videotape. Instead, the paper ran a "news analysis" which flatly states, "Iraqi authorities have not offered any supporting evidence" that the weapons were removed after 4/9/03, the date of the U.S. invasion. Most of the piece parrots the White House line that the 380 tons of high powered explosives is not that important in the context of the "400,000 tons destroyed or in the process of being eliminated," quoting an analyst who said, "The munitions at Al Qaqaa were at most around 0.06 percent of the total." This is a misleading apples to oranges comparison which conflates high powered explosives missing from Al Qaqaa – less than one pound of which is capable of blowing up an airplane – with ordinary bullets and small arms. (For a full analysis of all the administration's excuses, read this document).

2. Did Howie Kurtz or Steno Sue write this....whatever....WaPo is not Liberal
and it was only the Woodward/Bernstein Scoop that gave them that reputation which has been carried down through the decades.

In fact I would say they often tilt towards the Washington Times. You know it's that old "follow the leader" syndrom like the cables running after the Fox viewers.
