It was perhaps appropriate that Dan Rather received the prestigious Peabody award in journalism at the same time when Newsweek magazine was finally backing away from its false story about Americans flushing the Koran down the toilet at the Guantanamo prison.

At least Dan Rather's forged documents didn't get anybody killed, as the phony Newsweek story did. What is even more revealing -- and appalling -- about the mainstream media is that they are now circling the wagons around Newsweek, to protect it from criticism, just as they circled the wagons around Dan Rather last year, and now give him an award this year to put the frosting on the cake.

Leave it to Thomas Sowell to get to the heart of this issue. There will be no honest reporting by any of the MSM about this anymore. They are in circle the wagon mode.

The MSM bias cannot be tolerated any longer. Stop reading newspapers! Just read blogs.
