John Leo on the MSM

Is it incompetence or corruption? John Leo points out that the news media completely shut out any coverage of the real Cindy Sheehan. As I see it, there are only 2 possible explanations for their failure to do their jobs properly -- either they are incompetent or they are corrupt. Leo surmises that complete coverage of Sheehan's bizarre comments would have conflicted with the original media narrative. So what? Any competent, professional journalist is capable of shifting gears when the facts require it.

This is the question that Howard Kurtz and other journalists who pretend to cover the news media ought to be asking -- incompetence or corruption?
