History repeating
Galloway:
Our Knight Ridder stock lost 20 percent of its value before we sold it. Still, we hope somebody doesn't ruin its Washington bureau after they buy the company.
Here, they fact-check the Bush administration's counter-attacks on war critics:
Good journalism, that.
WASHINGTON - What's a president to do when his approval ratings have tanked, the special prosecutor is still rooting around under the rocks in his garden, and the same Republican senators who once wrote him a blank check are threatening to put a stop-payment on it?
Well, he can take a page from Dick Nixon's worst days and hit the road to foreign lands.

ASSERTION: In his speech, Bush noted that "more than a hundred Democrats in the House and the Senate - who had access to the same intelligence - voted to support removing Saddam Hussein from power."
CONTEXT: This isn't true. ...
Good journalism, that.

I've become a huge Knight-Ridder fanbecause of their coverage in the lead up to Iraq. They, and the Christian Science Montior, were the only Mainstream media outlets that I know of that actually did reporting on the WMD and Al Qeada claims. They, like everyone else, would print the adminstration's statements, but then, unlike everyone else, they would actually do the reporting to investigate whether the statements were correct. They were the only American media to actually attempt to report the facts.
So, I'm a fan.
I also saw a rumor that they were looking to sell part or all of their operations. It's a shame.
