Interesting to note how anti-propaganda reporting can lead to the creation of dripping lunacy and itself an originator of further propaganda. That’s what I find distasteful about these endeavors most of the time. IOW, it’s raw meat for the hate-squads.

It doesn’t have to be. I think Harry’s Place does a decent job of it and I wish more liberal blogs focused on fact checking news stories. Media bias and laziness, especially on Israel/Middle East stories, is a serious problem. I thought it was an interesting case yesterday when I linked to an article with a headline declaring the NYT surveillance to be legal. After I linked they changed the headline to make it a question if it was legal. They opted to change the focus from sorting out the facts to just reporting that there are competing claims. It’s lazy reporting.
