    Re: Glenn Greenwald's article on NBC and Brian Williams

    I'm shocked! Network News is... dare I say, biased! Sheesh. This is what the right has been saying for years. Nice reporting by the NYT on General Barry McCaffrey, but the NYT is awful, too. If you want to find The Truth(TM), it won't be found in any of the national news media. Journalists are beneath lawyers in dignity... er, except for the writer of this fine article at Salon! :) In fact, Salon, itself, has some pretty awful articles. That's what happens when one takes an ideological stance and then forces their reporting down the narrow funnel of that viewpoint. But every now and then a nugget like this article turns up.
