This is from a couple of days ago. We've been putting off blogging it because just thinking about it makes our head hurt. Here, then, is exhibit a billion in our ongoing demonstration of how the media will stick to whatever their anti-Bush line is no matter what the facts:

Now, gentle readers, we may not know much. But we're pretty sure that we can mathematically prove, using symbols and everything, that both of those headlines can't be true. We're not sure which one is more anti-Bush, the "he lied" or "he's a warmonger" one. We are sure that the LAT wants you to believe that Bush is backtracking and the NYT wants you to believe that Bush is obstinately going to war - and that they're basically reporting the same story.

For what it's worth, here are the links to the LAT article and the NYT article, respectively. Not that you need to click through, since you know what they're going to say based on the headlines. Although the articles do have some good lines about domestic and international opposition to our evil warmongering President. Not that you need to click through to know that either, since you know what they're going to say based on the names of the newspapers.

Bonus media analysis: check out the lede of the LA Times story. Then flip back to the NYT hed. Then the LA Times lede. Try to keep your eyes from bleeding.
