"Saving" Jessica Lynch

Anybody who still believes the Bush-approved version of what happened to Pvt. Lynch in Baghdad should read this excellent article. The fact that the Lynch story was swallowed whole by the mainstream American media just goes to show how gullible and irrelevant the likes of Brokaw, Jennings et al really are. This fiasco might have remained lodged in the back of my subconscious were it not for the upcoming made-for-TV schlock that NBC is spewing out this Sunday. The network should be thoroughly ashamed of itself for perpetuating this propoganda, all for the sake of ratings.

Followup, Friday 11/7/03: I see that now even Lynch is refuting the story. Please note that it's Diane Sawyer at ABC reporting on this. I'm guessing NBC's "Dateline" will remain mum on the subject.
