News organizations worldwide published or broadcast Massey's claims without any corroboration and in most cases without investigation. Outside of the Marines, almost no one has seriously questioned whether Massey, a 12-year veteran who was honorably discharged, was telling the truth.
He wasn't.
Other times they edit quotes to make them say the opposite of what was intended. And they don't care who they hurt.
"IT HURT, IT REALLY HURT:" The New York Times' dishonestly selective quotation from a letter by 2000th casualty Cpl. Jeffrey Starr draws this reaction from his girlfriend:
The girlfriend of a Marine killed in Iraq said she was devastated when she saw how The New York Times cherry-picked a letter her "first love" intended her to read in case he died.
"It was sad that we had to go through this some more. I was upset about what they took out of that letter," said an emotional Emmylyn Anonical, 22, whose boyfriend Cpl. Jeffrey Starr died in Iraq earlier this year.
The Mudville Gazette has more.
And then at times they just leave out what they don't want you to know.
Sometimes the media know their source is lying but they run the story anyway, hoping not to get caught.
And they do it over and over.
If that doesn't work then the media just fake it.
No wonder the lying liberal media is afraid of bloggers - we expose their lies.
