The Iraq war-supporting and -opposing halves of the political blogosphere don’t agree on much, but one thing they do have in common is an abiding mistrust (or distrust ) of the mainstream media, especially when the subject is Iraq.
This lack of trust often begets outright derision, sometimes even overt attempts at and references to comedic entertainment. Today, as juxtaposed at Memeorandum , the Washington Post takes a whack from the right and the New York Times takes one from the left:
Neo-Neocon , on Walter Pincus and R. Jeffrey Smith’s “Official’s Key Report On Iraq Is Faulted” :
A Tiny Revolution , on Michael R. Gordon’s “Deadliest Bomb in Iraq Is Made by Iran, U.S. Says” :
