In this essay, a writer in the Minneapolis Star Tribune explains that
Bush Lied, and the Press Can’t be Bothered to Report on it .

It’s been three weeks since the Times of London broke the story of the minutes of a meeting of Tony Blair and his cabinet, which prove that Bush lied about the reasons for war with Iraq. Back then, Erik on All That Arises posted about the lack of uptake in American MSM.

As an aside, Erik was looking for a term to reflect the gap between when news breaks overseas and when it’s picked up — or not — by the press over here. How about Uptake Gap?
