re: Journal ignored specific charges raised by CPB inspector general to defend Tomlinson

the wall street journal could care less about the truth. vince foster mentioned the wsj in the suicide note he wrote, bacause of all the phony stories they had simply bought and paid for from the "arkansas project", financed by richard mellon scaife. 007 had a license to kill. the right wing seems to have a license to lie.
