Soros funded “study” used as factual story for AP and NYT

So what’s the scoop?

It all started this morning when the Associated Press published a story regarding a study on false comments preceding the war in Iraq. Two major flaws in the story are readily apparent.

WASHINGTON - A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

#1) The Associated Press NOT ONCE mentions that the two “nonprofit journalism organizations” are funded by George Soros and his ilk.

#2) The Associated Press fails to provide similar statements by MANY politicians on both sides of the isle.

Need proof? (see above video)

Then, as if following a script, the New York Times published a version of their own.

Notice the names listed in the NYT article, or rather, the lack there of.

Warnings about the need to confront Iraq, by President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, the national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, and two White House press secretaries, among others, can be combed line by line, and reviewed alongside detailed critiques published after the fact by official panels, historians, journalists and independent experts.

Shameful…
