With all the events currently going on around the world. The failure of the Administration to seriously do anything about the reconstruction of Iraq, except to hand out multi-million dollar contracts to supporters; the inability of the U.S. supported (and installed) government in Afghanistan to build support or gain a foothold outside the capital; the continuing downturn in the economy, etc. The major print media in this country finds itself focused on a single reporter for the NY Times and his obvious lies, misquotes and other reporting failures.

I have to admit to a morbid fascination with the whole matter, since the Times has always prided itself on being credible. I personally doubt any heads will role over at the newspaper, but it is run to see them trying to cover their butts.
