Where is the media on Wilson, Palme, and yellowcake Uranium???

Roger Simon has a wonderful commentary today regarding the conspicuous absence of the "mainstream" media coverage of Joseph Wilson's meltdown. Why do you think this is? To me it is more intellectual dishonesty on the part of "thinkning liberals" (or conservatives, for that matter...) to ignore media bias: it is not so much that the bias isn't there, but rather that it does not support the good of the "cause" and therefore must not be trumpeted. Orwell would have been proud.

Meanwhile we are approaching our most important Presidential election since, oh, 1860 or so... one would think there would be more concern about the "lens" through which much of the uninformed public views the world.
