The newer, angrier Rich continues to pull no punches:
The media lied and people died.
Now, in defense of the media (crap, never thought I’d say that), I’d wager they would get a report (i.e., a rumor) and it would be verified by some politico who also heard the same rumor. I’m not excusing it but the rush to get out any information was greater than the rush to get out correct information.
