Profound Indifference

This Weekly Standard article is disappointing by not surprising.

Joe Wilson is now claiming that he didn't lie, he was misquoted by reporters.

The reporters are completely unconcerned about this affront to their professional ethics and competence.

The whole Wilson saga, IMHO, is a much bigger press scandal than Rick Bragg's use of stringers or Jayson Blair's embellishments. Blair, after all, lied about little things of no importance. Wilson and his media megaphone made charges that had senators talking about impeachment.
