Grim Milestone: For 10,000th Time, MSM Claims Bush Administration Claimed Hussein Behind 9/11 (While Failing to Provide a Quote or Citation for This Claim, Naturally)

McCain doubted the relationship between Hussein was "close enough" to support the idea of a joint Iraq/Al Qaeda operation behind 9/11.

Thus signaling a sharp disagreement with the Bush Administration... which also denied any evidence of Hussein's hand in the attack.

And yet the LAT insists, again, the Bush Administration claimed precisely the opposite of what the Bush Administration claimed.

Fact checking? We're well beyond errors explainable by negligence. The fact that the LAT cannot supply a single quote to support its claim proves they know none exist.

This is, as is becoming increasingly common and increasingly transparent, the MSM simply lying.

They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

They are writing solely for a particular type of very partisan reader who will not ask for evidence of their claims or object very strenuously to their occasional flights of fancy and fiction, so long as those claims fit their own worldview; and they don't much care about the facts. It's The Narrative that matters both to their few remaining readers and to themselves.
