false statements
The recent, headline-grabbing “study” (which, of all things, made itself out to be “independent”, but was heavily funded by progressive organizations) claiming that the Bush Administration made “hundreds” of “false statements” to justify the war in Iraq is taken to task by Pajamas Media, who thoroughly deconstruct most of its findings.
UPDATE: Neo-Neocon has more.
Unfortunately these types of studies are simply taken at face value when they come from the point of view of the Main Stream Media.
If this study showed the opposite was true, then the funding would have been printed in BOLD writing across the top of the story.
Um, I clicked on the link, and from the looks of it Pajamas Media didn’t debunk anything so much as they said “George Soros funded this, therefore it must be wrong.”
It’s important to keep in mind the fact that inaccuracy doesn’t follow from bias.
Actually, they pointed out several different areas where the study either failed to deliver the results they claimed, and actively challenged the contextual relevance of what was known in 2002-2003.
