I don't normally wash meat. I have washed it though when I noticed it had some extra funk, and then cooked it a little extra too.
Clearly there is a LOT of history behind washing meat, way beyond just bacteria. In fact bacteria is probably too recent if a discovery to really be claimed as the purpose of washing meat.
Can we say both sides are right?
Also, this video, which was posted earlier, gives a great background on who washes meat and why. It's quite clearly divided along geographic and cultural lines.
