Ackurasee

Shame on CBS, shout the Republicans. A major news organization should know the importance of getting the facts straight.

Oddly enough, though, our "accuracy-addicted" Republican friends spew unfactual bilge with impunity. For example: A couple of days ago, Fearless Leader Himself said that John Kerry had confessed that "he would prefer the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein to the situation in Iraq today."

Of course, Kerry said no such thing. He said "The satisfaction we take in his downfall does not hide this fact: We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure."

Only Democrats and non-rightist news outlets need worry about accuracy. Folks on the right can feel free to churn out fiction with a speed redolent of Stephen King.
