The post below was just the hors d’oeuvre. Now we find out that The Associated Press and The New York Times both parroted a press release from a George Soros-funded America-hating group that claims to “prove” that Bush lied and people died. The so-called Center for Public Integrity, the Soros boot-licking group, claims, according to AP, that “President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.”
Again with the accusations of “false statements.” It is well-documented that the statements made by the Administration in advance of the invasion of Iraq were made in error, based on bad intelligence, not in an effort to mislead voters and Democrats in Congress. I wrote about this nearly three years ago:
The question for the news consumer is: Does the mainstream media really lack the rudimentary analytical powers to distinguish between a lie and a mistake, a person on actual life-support and a person simply being fed? Are these nuances simply too subtle for most reporters and editors?
Or is it something else, like pushing a political and ideological agenda disguised as journalism?
It’s bad enough that the AP and the NYT never thought to inform readers of the Soros connection, but it’s worse that they think this is news. Maybe they should watch the video below. Are all these Clinton-era Democrats lying too?:
UPDATE: Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Pluto) runs with the Soros-funded slander on the floor of the House, seeking impeachment of George Bush and Dick Cheney (he actually says “Bush lied, people died.”). But he’s pimp-slapped immediately by Florida Republican Cliff Stearns for violation of House rules.
