Incompetence beyond the bias

Just One Minute takes the time to point out how really bad the Times and Wash Post are in screwing up the facts of Wilson/Plame and Niger uranium. This isn't about the bias, although I don't doubt that bias contributes to the problem. This is a competence problem plain and simple. Even the producers of the most biased propaganda can be competent.

Of course, the worst of the incompetents are those at the top. Stupid journalists and stupid editors can botch the facts in the manner exposed in this post. The problem is that the top management will look at the exposure of rank incompetence by their employees and decide that the criticism is invalid because they disagree with the political preferences of the person pointing out the incompetence.

Talk about brain dead stupid.
