'Several gun dealers who cooperated with ATF told CBS News and Congressional investigators they only went through with suspicious sales because ATF asked them to.


Sometimes it was against the gun dealer's own best judgment.'

You mean like the lie about "weapons of mass destruction"?
Starting a war based upon lying to the citizens?
The "Patriot" Act taking away our freedoms?
Paul Bremer "losing" $12 billion in Iraq?
Halliburton (Cheney) being paid $1.8 billion for unspecified "work" in Iraq?
Halliburton (Cheney) receiving billions of no-bid contracts from the administration for work in Iraq?
The administration giving a conservative commentator $240,000 to push "no child left behind" in his media columns?
The military paying Iraqi journalists to write pro-American news stories in Iraq?

Etc., etc.

Face it: the only bias in the media are those that can be bought off by their owners.
