Media, The Military, Lies

So Newsweek writes a story about military interrogators supposedly putting Korans in the toilet. Their source is wrong or lying and their screw up becomes a huge story and more supposed evidence of the liberal bias in the media. On the other hand the military deliberately and blatantly lied to everyone (sorry, "spun") and - the worst part - Pat Tillman's family, covering up his death by friendly fire for a couple weeks. They try and make him look like a hero, the all-American football player gives his life for his country. Which part of the "liberal" media is the only one really following up on this story? The Washington Post. (My heart goes out to Mr. Tillman, I doubt he died to be used as a tool.)

Update: The military now says it was a confusion of regulations, not a coverup. If you believe them.
