Which may well be true. (Heck, Clifford Irving's autobiography of Howard Hughes was probably accurate as well.) But it still shouldn't have been on the news without being properly vetted, and it wasn't properly vetted with any skepticism because it fit within the theory of the CBS people involved that Bush was a draft-dodging frat-boy child of priviledge. I'm with you on that one.
But the New York Times's dogged pursuit of what turned out to be nothing in the whole Whitewater deal demonstrates that the media as a whole probably has more of a "gotcha!" bias than a liberal one.
