You Know It's Bad When Even Dems Claim Media Bias on 9-11 Report

This from NewsMax....I know many people discredit NewsMax, but the quote comes from PBS' "The News Hour"

"The sharp differences that the press has drawn [between the White House and the Commission] are not that apparent to me," Hamilton told the Associated Press, a day after insisting that his probe uncovered "all kinds" of connections between Osama bin Laden's terror network and Iraq. "

And this....

Vice Chairman of the 9/11 Commission Lee Hamilton blasted the mainstream press yesterday for Hamilton's comments followed a deluge of mainstream reports falsely claiming that the 9/11 Commission had discredited the Bush administration's claim of longstanding links between Baghdad and bin Laden. But the Indiana Democrat said the press accounts were flat-out wrong.

"There are all kinds of ties," he told PBS's "The News Hour" late Wednesday, in comments that establishment journalists have refused to report.

"There are all kinds of connections. And it may very well have been that Osama bin Laden or some of his lieutenants met at some time with Saddam Hussein's lieutenants."

Hamilton said that while his probe had failed to uncover any direct operational link between Baghdad and

Osama bin Laden's terror network in attacks on the U.S., there's no question that "they had contacts."

When the Democratic members of the 9-11 Commission say the press got it wrong, it's safe to say THE PRESS GOT IT WRONG!!!!

Do they even hire fact checkers and reporters that do research anymore? It doesn't seem like it.

I think most are too lazy to do fact checking. And as long as it gets views or clicks, nobody seems to care as long as there's a retraction.

Nice blog.
