CBS Had the Forged Niger Goods Before the 2004 Election, but Failed to Deliver the Information to the US Public – Corporate Media Saves Bush Again.

Back in September 2004 I reported here in this blog how CBS had failed to air an important story on the forged Niger documents. Now it comes out that CBS had delayed that story and is still delaying it because of secret deals made between CBS the White House and Republicans in Congress to keep the story under wraps.

Read journalist Josh Marshall’s post on why Mainstream Media sat on the story of the forged Niger documents used to push the Iraq War and used in Bush’s 2003 State of the Union address even after the CIA informed the White House that the story was false:

Much of the information Patrick Fitzgerald would have to rediscover at US Taxpayers expense was available to the Mainstream Media before the election but kept quiet until now due to secret deals with the White House and Congressional Republicans.
