One of the advantages of the Internet and alternative news sources is that it puts great checks on these writers who would formerly have the run to say whatever they wanted unchecked.

1) The LA Times getting slammed for its outright propaganda and lie about Bremer leaving Iraq without saying anything or “looking an Iraqi in the eye”… (Who made that one up at the Soviet Times?)

2) Krugman’s many misquotations, misrepresentations, half truths, editorializing of facts and figures… etc..

There are always places to go now where you can double check people like Krugman’s economic ‘facts and figures’ and fairyland editorialized stories which of course have nothging to do with his “background in Economics” but never stops him from trying to wrap into his so-called “economics” articles.
