Dear Corporate Media: Thanks For Refusing To Do Your Jobs
"No better example than the way they treated the fake Planned Parenthood videos that made such a strong impression on one Robert Lewis Dear Jr. See, they framed the news stories as if the videos were proven fact.

Yet media types refused to use the information as anything but a footnote -- if they even bothered to do that."
