I don't know if you guys get PBS Shows on your coast but there was a great specail about two weeks ago which I watched last night.  It was great, Dan Rather and many other prominent media figures went on and basically apologized for taking part in the war and not checking up on leads that should have been researched further.  I can tape it and send it out if anyone is interested.  Here is a link                            http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/4/25/19818/2776

Isn't not checking up on leads that should have been researched further what ended his career in the first place?

Tru Dat!

I know Dan was let go, but the show goes into how all the major newspapers served to help Bush push the war.  When they go over the timeline they show that the administration would release a news story and then go and use it as evidence of real weapon programs that had never existed in the first place.  Dan didn't do his homework, and he got fired, but this shows all the washington post and NY Times reporters should have gotten the same treatment.
