Several media organizations have examined, sometimes harshly, the work of newspapers and particularly cable-TV news networks.

The newspaper cited publication of "scores of myths about the dome and Convention Center treated as fact by evacuees, the media and even some of New Orleans' top officials."Meanwhile, what's that bit again about the alternative media such as the blogosphere not having responsible editorial and organizational control to insure factual reportage? Like the cases with the NYT reporters fabricating stories, and the TV networks doing the same, when not reporting forged information as fact, apparently they regard themselves as having transcended the standards they would impose on others.
A slight issue with hypocrisy here? Shocking behavior by elements of the (self)esteemed 4th estate!

I'll be out all day tomorrow, as I'm headed to Gering for some sort of a state Republican Party "strategy session." I personally wasn't invited, but am attending with someone who was. If there's anything of note blog wise, I...Sibby stumps the Democrats
