In related news, The Washington Post is coming under criticism from its own ombudsmen for its coverage of the Jessica Lynch story for failing to investigate how the Post and other media outlets were mislead on the original story. In his latest piece, Ombudsman Michael Getler writes: “Given the Post’s starring role in perpetuating the myth, its reporters and editors should have been the first to run a front-page interview with Jessica about her disgust at being used by the media and the military for their own cynical ends.” Getler continued “The Post ought to have also done some top-notch, multi-story investigative reporting on who concocted this hoax and how they were able to hoodwink the public with it through the national media.”
