All the news that's fit to be discredited.

You'd think that the New York Times would know by now that U.N. bureaucrats don't make particularly credible sources. Funny how the Times and CBS were so anxious to lob bombshells at Bush that they didn't check with anybody, such as the Pentagon, before putting this malarky on the front page.

The Chicago Tribune has been laughed at all my life for its mistaken headline that Dewey beat Truman in 1948. The Times will be ridiculed far longer, and much more deservedly, for its hypocritical and partisan coverage of this election. I see it quoted more today for its blatant lack of honest reporting than for any real news. The real question is whether the sycophants in the media who take their direction from the Times in deciding what is news will become more resourceful and independent, knowing after this year that they may be following its lead out onto a limb.

Update: More evidence is coming in that this "stunner" is a stinker. The New York is reporting that we had requested the IAEA to destroy these weapons 9 years ago. So does all of Kerry's criticism apply to the Clinton administration and the U.N. too?
