Knight Ridder obviously isn't Bush's poodle

couldn't the wapo sign up some of their folks for a few courses on REAL news reporting from the good people at knight ridder...? hell, the white house did an "ethics refresher," why can't the wapo do a similar thing for journalism...?
The revelation that President Bush authorized former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby to divulge classified information about Iraq fits a pattern of selective leaks of secret intelligence to further the administration's political agenda.

[...]

[S]ecret information that supports their policies, particularly about the Iraq war, has surfaced everywhere from the U.N. Security Council to major newspapers and magazines. Much of the information that the administration leaked or declassified, however, has proved to be incomplete, exaggerated, incorrect or fabricated.

anyone who can't see this pattern is either deaf, dumb and blind, deliberately obtuse, brain-cell deficient, oozing kool-aid, or has a gun held to her head... (now that i think about it, for our august media, anyway, it's more likely the latter...)

(once again, thanks to atrios and eschaton...)
