MSM runs Soros group’s “study” as “news”

Again.  From Texas Rainmaker:

Here we go again. Now that the economy is overtaking Iraq as the issue most voters claim to be concerned with, the Left has to yank Iraq back into the limelight. Here comes a study is being published claiming President Bush and his staff lied about Iraq to get us into war under false pretenses. And the AP is right there to report it.

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.

The study concluded that the statements “were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses.”

The real story is, once again, who’s behind the organizations publishing the report in the first place. The two organizations are the Center for Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism.

The Center for Public Integrity is funded by The Open Society Institute… yes, the same Open Society Institute founded by George Soros.

And the Fund for Independence in Journalism’s self-described primary purpose is “providing legal defense and endowment support for the largest nonprofit, investigative reporting institution in the world, the Center for Public Integrity, and possibly other, similar groups.”

Another day, another Soros-funded, anti-Bush study being touted by the water-carrying MSM.

It’s a good thing that the MSM has “multiple layers of fact-checking” at their disposal, isn’t it?  Otherwise, someone may get the crazy idea that the MSM has some kind of agenda.  And of course, we should question the results of a study funded by a man who says that bringing down Bush is “is the central focus of my life”, “a matter of life and death”, and that he’s  ”willing to put my money where my mouth is.”  That kind of bias couldn’t possibly manifest itself in a “study”, now could it?

Nope…no liberal media bias!
