Our Broken Media, Cont'd.


"As you would expect, we have a team dedicated to gathering the facts to help us make sense of all that has transpired.  We’re working on what the best next steps are – and when we have something to communicate we will of course share it with you." --  (emphasis added) from an internal e-mail to staff from NBC News President Deborah Turness, reflecting on Brian Williams' now-discredited story about his presence in a helicopter shoot down incident in Iraq in 2003.

Don't you wish these people and their major media colleagues had shown the same dedication to "gathering the facts" about Dumbya and Dick's Iraq war fraud before many thousands of lives were lost there?  Molehill meet mountain.
