"Saddam chose to deny inspectors"

Bush repeated this bald-faced lie recently. The cowering press still lets him get away with it, but the public is no longer fooled.

    Inspectors denied?

    Joe Conason

    does a good job of reminding us that bush lies as easily as angels float.

    He goes on to point out how the press time and again ignores the lies and has the gall to wonder why. Clearly he fears upsetting the owners of the press as much as reporters in any other mainstream venue.

    I know it's a risk but isn't anyone (in any "press") going to tell the public that they will hear the truth when there is a profit in it and not before.

    Docile press, docile public. right controlling shares?
