Washing their hands of the Plame affair

Well, it's recently been revealed that Plamegate was a fraud perpetrated by the prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. He knew all along that war doubter Armitage was behind the leak, but he pretended he had the goods on someone more in support of the Iraq intervention. So he cooked up the whole scandal. The New York Times and Washington Post were making hay of it. Now they're trying to distance themselves from it.

I don't suppose we'll see an apology from the mainstream media for this witch hunt. But let's never forget. And never let them live it down.

See, this sort of thing is why people don't trust the news anymore.
