The Haditha massacre™ was more than horrific… it was predictable. More than predictable, it was inevitable. Equally horrific, predictable, and inevitable is the devious reporting by the supposedly liberal media.

1. Good column

I generally read Mickey Z's stuff on Counterpunch. I wonder what difference exists between that and Counterbias (if any).

Actually, the biggest difference between the two "Counter-" sites is that Counterbias comes from a more liberal (rather than full-on Leftist) perspective than Counterpunch does. CB sees the Democratic Party as a hope for the future, and drastically different from the Republicans, rather than as completely equivalent with the Republican Party as Counterpunch (on the whole) seems to believe.

In other words, you won't see CB attacking Democrats from the left mercilessly, since there are enough attacks coming from the right-wing smear machine as it is.
