Perfect Imagery for the Bush Administration Smear Machine and the Complicit Media.
Mr. Rove and the Access of Evil
Mr. Wolcott turned me on to Greg Palast's latest column.
"When officialdom uses "you-can't-use-my- name" to cover a lie, the official is not a source, but a disinformation propagandist."
"The great poison in the corpus of American journalism is the lust for tidbits of supposedly "inside" information which is more often than not inside misinformation parading as hot news. And thus we have Miller sucking on the steaming sewage pipe of White House lies about Iraq and spitting it out in the pages of The Times as "investigative reporting," for which The Times has apologized. " (emphasis mine)
