The questions raised in this article are supremely important ones to raise by the Press and by the American public before the US blindly moves full speed ahead toward another front of this mindless and irresponsible war.

It is critical at this very serious time to remind people to think and this really does the job, even provides a guide.

Great article... the check list for good reporting is the right stuff. the front page of the NY times is a mouthpiece for the Bush administration...this blogger show's how.

This blog post points out in the typical overstated blog sort of way that the New York Times article stating that roadside bombs in Iraq are linked to Iran does nothing more than parrot government sources who themselves provide no corroborating evidence. The poster maintains, as do many others, that nothing the government says can be trusted.

Greenwald is exactly right: the use of unnamed sources making warmongering claims has no place in good journalism, especially after what happened in Iraq.

A well-documented and stinging criticism of irresponsible journalism and poor editorial decision making by a major and influential US media.

Greenwald very capably illustrates the true value of journalism: that it must be completely adversarial, if it is to hold any value for the consuming public. This nation will not much longer sustain itself without a Fourth Estate that carries such value, and we'd better wake up to that notion quickly. What the "mainstream media" offers up these days is satisfactory journalism only in an Orwellian imagination.
