70. The Abu Ghraib prison scandal was quickly squelched
I saw Seymour Hersch, the independent journalist who broke the story, speak at Faneuil Hall in Boton a few weeks back. He said that the Abu Ghraib prison scandal is merely the tip of the iceberg of prison abuse that goes on in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantamo.

It's laughable that you would even imply that the media is liberal.

the 'liberal' media doesn't show body bags coming home from Iraq.

the 'liberal' media lies about the atrocious state of the economy

the 'liberal' media doesn't do investigative journalism anymore, unless it involves tabloid murders or sexual wrongdoingd by Democrats.

the 'liberal' media gives Bush a free pass.

I suggest you read Joe Conason's book "Big Lies" and David Brock's books "Blinded by the Right" and "The Republican Noise Machine".
