The "Daily Howler"( http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh082203.shtml) is on a rant about the "lying liars" Rich Lowry, Mickey Kaus and Byron York. He wonders how long the people are going to stand for it.

I pretty much blame the people who are suppose to supply us with the truth for this jaded acceptance of the factually challenged. For far too long the press has operated on the basis of the press release and official statement. It was speedy and seemed to do the work of the people, letting their government speak to them. And when it was shown to be a lie, well, the hard work of digging out the truth is just too much and they all do it anyway.

So, if all you are ever going to get is a lie, might as well go with the information sources that give you that warm, comfortable feeling. And you should really just accept them blindly, for truth is to be found nowhere.

The only way this cycle will ever be broken is for we who carry that torch of freedom that gives us the light of knowledge to show that the truth shall be known.   ¶ 8/25/2003 05:38:00 PM
