Hoyt, who knows a thing or two about Iraq coverage, drops a chemical agent on Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting: "In the case of Iraq, the anti-war movement has plenty of factual material to work with. I'm astonished that FAIR would feel the need to play so fast and loose with the facts about Fallujah." [NYT]
