The administration has done it again. In the aftermath of the Newsweek scandal, the Bush White House has used an incident of faulty reporting to turn attention from its own misdoings.
When CBS screwed up documents concerning the president's National Guard record, talk of Bush's still highly questionable military history faded. Now, by attacking a single sentence of a tucked-away magazine article, public outrage has shifted from the proven accounts of prison abuse to the minor actions of a bumbling news publication.
Government spin has overtaken the media and looks to be leaving the public dizzy.
