377 Tons of Explosives Disappear Under American's Watch? Media Bias? You Decide!
The Media Research Center is a great place to compare Media coverage of important issues, and to see how different networks cover the same story. In particular, note how CBS’ coverage of the issue, as late as Thursday, lacks anything that indicates their original story could have been wrong. Of course, they originally wanted to air the report this Sunday, a mere two days before the election. Rathergate, indeed.

In L. Brent Bozell’s column, They’re Not Referees, he says:
If anyone is still being sold the civics-book baloney that our national press corps is just the referee of our democracy, the disinterested moderator of our national debate, the media’s performance in this election year has just blown that concept to smithereens in their collective and transparent desire to deny George W. Bush another four years.
And they all wonder why they are losing their market share to FOX News.
