Peabody Award went to CBS 60 Minutes II and Dan Rather for reporting Abu Ghraib. It is truly amazing that any supposedly prestigious award would be given to the likes of Rather and Mapes after their follies with the Bush papers. And for giving it to them for their intrepid Abu Ghraib stories. Short of having pictures, the investigation was announced by the military in a press briefing a couple of months before the story was "uncovered" by the media. Then we were inundated by repetitive pictures of the "scandal." The last one I saw was on Monday morning when CNN was covering the bogus Koran story.
One never ceases to be amazed at the absolute arrogance and stupidity exhibited by the media.
