News media taking the blame
The Washington Post and other news organizations are blaming themselves for not questioning more intensely the Bush administration's decision to go to war in Iraq. The Post in particular is taking heat for burying stories questioning the existence of weapons of mass destruction.
One Post reporter, however, Walter Pincus, wrote stories about WMD doubts and pushed for their inclusion on Page A1. Pincus is a believer that journalists must go to original source documents for their information: "The main thing people forget to do is read documents," he said in today's story by Post media reporter Howard Kurtz, also available on MSNBC here.
