Jimmy Massey Day 6: AP Uncorrected

Another day without an AP story on Jimmy Massey's lies. Still no email back to CSM from its editors.

There have been lots of letters to the editors, most praising Harris and the Post Dispatch, but some exhibiting what-planet-are-you-from denial, like this:
Why is the press so self-critical about the this very minor story while it has largely ignored the infinitely more important issue of how it served up erroneous reports from the Bush administration that led us into Iraq?

At best, emphasis on the rebuttal of Jimmy Massey's stories seems out of proportion. At worst, it reeks of the pro-Iraq war bias that is all too often present in the corporate-owned media.
Perhaps it's better put to ask what planet's newspapers has this guy been reading? He seems to have missed the light coverage of the Fitzgerald investigation in this planet's newspapers.
