Ignoring its own reporting, NY Times did not point out falsehoods in Corsi's smear books on Obama, Kerry
Summary: The New York Times asserted that Jerome Corsi's recent book smearing Sen.

However, the Times did not point out that The Obama Nation contains numerous falsehoods that have been widely discredited and denounced by the media.

CORSI:"Still Obama has yet to answer questions whether he ever dealt drugs, or if he stopped using marijuana and cocaine completely in college, or whether his drug use extended into his law school days or beyond. I want answers!!! ANSWERS, DAMMIT!!!!!"

Yes, it is - since they're not asking about George W. Bush's past drug use.

Media Matters' days are numbered. With the rapid decline and eventual complete collapse of "The Media", there will be so MUCH misinformation that, in the words of the great W.C. Fields' reference to drunkeness in the Middle Ages, it will go unnoticed. It seems that the New York Times is scraping the bottom for reporters. Come on back, Jason Blair, all is forgiven.
