Glenn Reynolds - Comedian Pundit. I found this particular entry at Instapundit hilarious:

IS THE JOHN EDWARDS CAMPAIGN REALLY "WHOLLY FUNDED by the trial lawyers"? That's what John Kerry's press secretary, Stephanie Cutter, is quoted as saying in the New York Times. And, since the Times story provides no contradictory information, and it's the New York freakin' Times, I guess it must be true, right?

Maybe I'll go donate a buck to Edwards, just so that he'll have gotten at least one dollar from somewhere else. Odd that it hasn't happened before. . .

And Teresa at Technicalities has a similar take on an AP story about Laura Bush's opinion on Gay Marriage.

The AP Headline on my Yahoo page screams : Laura Bush Says Gay Marriage 'Shocking' .

Shall we read on, beyond the headline, to see what she REALLY said?

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Laura Bush says gay marriages are "a very, very shocking issue" for some people, a subject that should be debated by Americans rather than settled by a Massachusetts court or the mayor of San Francisco.

Amazing isn't it, how if you change a word or an emphasis, you can make the headline completely misleading - one might almost say it's... a lie. To say that some people find gay marriage to be shocking is hardly the same thing as her actually saying that gay marriage is shocking. In fact, it's not the same thing AT ALL. So, AP tries to pin her down...

You should read the rest of her post.

And David Kaspar at Medienkritik has a post about the Australian Intel Chief declaring the Iraq War unjustified - except that the Australian Intel Chief never said/claimed that...And David has the government transcripts to prove it.

Then, if you haven't seen it, there's my post at We The People about the Chicago Tribune making a Storm out of a wise-crack by one soldier. Actually, I've never, ever known anyone in the military to ever exhibit sarcasm...
