Fantastic

Glenn Greenwald does his most incisive takedown yet of what has pretended to be news reporting in the past few years, in "The Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch frauds" today.

"Fantastic" is one of those words we use in way that is generally pretty much detached from its basic meaning. But in the case of the military's PR machine, as is being confirmed in current Congressional hearings, that basic relation to fantasy holds. It what sense did Tony Snow mean it, one wonders? (See the end of Greenwald's column.)

I would like to also see him put together the whole dynamic of the press pushing the story -- naming names of more people in the press who, if honorable people, would be falling on their swords.
