Media: Uranium-to-Niger Only Newsworthy When Source is Lying

In the off chance you haven't seen this, turns out that the media was a lot more eager to run stories about Joe Wilson's charges than the debunking of those exact charges:

How is it that the exact same story can be so newsworthy and important when it's hurting Bush, and yet not newsworthy at all when it turns out to be false and thus, in effect, helping Bush?

How can the media have run all these stories and imagine they have no obligation to prominently correct the record that themselves made?

More here, here, here, and of course here.

To be fair, it should be noted that the news media have a short memory (as does much of the viewing public). If this stuff had come up a week after Joe Wilson's book came out, it would have gotten a lot more press.

As a member of said news media, I can say that at least at the NATIONAL level...I see this to be true for many folks. Associated Press every single hour sends a "NewsMinute" of the 5 or 6 headlines they deem the most important in the nation..Pretty much every single hour, from 11PM through 5AM, they put Kerry's convention speech up top..fine, no problem..the convention's big news. On ONE of those, mention was made of the arrest of the suspect in bombings from 1998 at the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania..a Tanzanian man with Al-Quaida links. This man happened to be among the TOP 22 WANTED TERRORISTS by the FBI. I have to question their prioritizing when so little is made of this...

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.
