Is there such an organisation as 'Fox News' in the US?
We've just heard this clip. It's so unreal that we're not sure whether it's a spoof or not. All the evidence here suggests that although Gilligan did embroider things, actually the government lied and covered up a number of facts, while modifying others. It's also been suggested that the Hutton enquiry was directed to suppress the facts, while exhonerating the government.
Who knows?
Just seen this. To the best of our knowledge Gilligan never went to Iraq to report, and the beeb would certainly never have shown a clip with him saying what he's alleged to have said (they're far too loyal). I'd suggest that the reason the US media haven't been 'caught lying' is that their lawyers are too well paid, and they're 'in bed' with the party machine.
But hey, what do I know? I'm just a dumb kraut whose grandfathers lost a war ;-)
And this thread from BM is quite interesting too. Both links came from there.
Anyone from the US/Canada out there able to comment?
