Good News . . . Mostly

Another quote and thought about yesterday's blog:

"We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst," Mark Whitaker, Newsweek's editor, wrote in a separate note in the issue.

Of course, other articles show a different side with quotes saying that the information was correct but issues were in how they found information. Then Whitaker said, "The riots started and spread across the country, fanned by extremists and unhappiness over the economy," Yes folks, they riots were not due to their flimsy story but "the economy." Can we trust this man or Newsweek??

Remember when Monica Lewinsky scandal started? Newsweek had many insiders confirming the sexual affair. They had a real story but refused to print it which made Matt Drudge a household name. Here's the original story:

Why were they slow to move on Monica but too quick to run on a weak and sketchy story about the war on terrorism?
