media's 'fake but accurate' policy

the media seems to have latched onto a policy of 'fake but accurate' when they are caught making up stuff...

the newsweek guantanamo-quoran debacle comes to mind, but the apparent initiator of this ridiculous defense is dan rather. dan rather still maintains the fake memo-gate story to be accurate, and laments 'not being allowed' to continue his investigation.
yeah, him and OJ with their continued investigations...

close on his heels is the NY Times which falsely attributed a memo to Supreme Court Chief Justice to be John Roberts. the times issued a retraction, but tries to back-up the charges with other tidbits. [NYTimes bugmenot login]
