Our 2 largest media related stories this week had to do with the MSM changing/altering context
In the McCain/Couric story, they completely altered and fabricated context in order to make him look better.
One answer to an entirely different question substituted for faulty (OMG! He's insane!) answer

Story almost completely ignored in MSM


In the Obama/Milbank story context was omitted in order to make him look worse.
Sentence preceding quote - WHICH ALTERS ENTIRE MEANING OF QUOTE is omitted
Story played up to nth degree with almost no one making correction and discussing entire quote.


Are they:

a.lazy
b.ignorant
c.duplicitious
d.all of the above



And they wonder why we just don't care what they say anymore?
