JOURNALISM: Media feasting on Bush ‘fake’ turkey claim; false story still repeated 10 years on. The image of Bush serving Thanksgiving dinner to the troops was so unacceptably wholesome, the press was forced to hallucinate a flaw in order to maintain its own sanity. Or what passes for that, in its case. “One reporter on the error list is Howard Kurtz, who as The Washington Post’s media critic in 2006 wrote a story about a Bush visit to Afghanistan, saying it went off better than the 2003 Iraq visit and the ‘fake turkey.’ Now at Fox News, Mr. Kurtz didn’t reply to an email seeking comment Wednesday.” It’s okay, Howard — now that you work at Fox you’re allowed to tell the truth.

Note: The turkey in this picture is also genuine. . . .
