In a clip from Bill Moyers Journal, two Knight-Ridder reporters who seemed to be asking the right questions in the runup to the war.

The quote in the last few seconds of the clip are telling. Their stories were going out to the papers, but the papers were often not picking them up. For whatever reason (take your pick), the editors ran with the stories from other wire services.

Insert your own moral to the story in the comments section if you like.
