Another Example of Media Bias?
Last Night 60 Minutes has a bombshell interview with Ex-Bush Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill in which he confirms that Bush lied about his justification for war in Iraq and lambasted his leadership style--you would think this would be headline news to have a top aide say these things, but NO, the big headline in USA Today on its front page is:

ATTACKS DOWN 22% SINCE SADDAM'S CAPTURE

meanwhile the O'Neill story is on page six.

Talk about media bias.

1. Hmmmm, the number of attacks are down
yet the death and dismemberment numbers remain the same.
