Would it really make any real, positive difference for ABC News to issue a mea culpa retraction of its Saddam-anthrax stories at this point in time?
It would make a small difference, in that it would reflect the fact that they finally realized that their reporting does have an impact on people's lives. Not that that has made any difference with the NYTimes, as they have carried water for the administration on recent claims of Iran's horrible intent.
It would be nice if they learned from their mistakes and acted like real journalists, not propaganda tools.
BUT, what would really make a difference is for them to investigate WHO gave them the bogus info and WHY. Like the song says, I wanna know who the men in the shadows are.
