Media Myth Alert is a blog written by W. Joseph Campbell, author of the forthcoming book, "Getting It Wrong Ten of the Greatest Misreported Stories in American Journalism," focused on "stories about and/or by the news media that are widely believed and often retold but which, under scrutiny, prove to be apocryphal or wildly exaggerated."

How many of these are about Hussein being treated as the messiah instead of the kenyan traitor that he is?

And why stop at 10? Every single story that the liberal terrorist media puts out is 100% false and designed to destroy our nation from the inside-out.

If you believe the media, you believe in the destruction of America.

When someone knows that the media they like are slanting stories to accord with an ideological agenda, they obviously find it easier to level that charge against media they don't like. They've closed off the possiblility of any actual objective journalism. Add to that all the people who have been mal-educated in private fundamentalist schools (or maybe grew up in Texas) and the durability of myths becomes apparent.
