Network News Lies Again

Last night ABC's NIGHTLINE ran a story asserting that Justice Scalia missed John Roberts' swearing-in to "attend" a seminar and play tennis, and also questioned whether it was ethical for Justice Scalia to attend a function sponsored by the Federalist Society.

Human Events has published a detailed rebuttal to the ABC story. The network deliberately chose to ignore the facts, which they had well in advance of the airdate, and instead "spun" the story to suit their liking.

Perhaps the producers at ABC are upset they can't stop Judge Alito's confirmation and are taking it out on Justice Scalia?
