Just the facts, please

Josh Marshall is right. Republicans will lie and make ridiculous statements about all aspects of the stimulus bill because their lies and ridiculous statements are not corrected by a lazy, complicit, starstruck media. We saw this throughout the Bush years and the only example of it not being true was for a brief moment when a good number of comments made by John McCain and Sarah Palin during the campaign were exposed for the ridiculousness contained within. There needs to be some sort of continuing education for all media types. Well, it's either that, or give them a pink slip and re-train them for a different, less consequential, career.
