The death of impartiality and truth

http://mobile.nytimes.com/article?a=217178&f=19

I have lost any hope in the print media today.

'Mr. Corsi described most of the critiques of his book as "nitpicking," like a contradiction of his claim that Mr. Obama had failed to dedicate his book "Dreams of My Father" to his family; Mr. Obama dedicated the book to several family members, in the introduction.'

When someone claims another person did not write something and then you read the literature in question and it objectively contains the exact opposite of what they said then they are wrong. When you confront the first person and their response is to close their eyes, scream 'la la la' then continue to make the claim then they are lying.

Say it with me. A contradiction is when I say 'I think' and you say 'I think' to interpret an event (ie subjective) and those opinions are at odds with one another. If I write 'gravity does not exist' I am not contradicted by Newton. I am wrong. And if I am informed of that and proceed to go around the country telling little children their is no gravity and Newton snorted coke and liked young boys I am a liar.
