| 43. Media has been pressured by Bushco for biased approach |
|
I think we were sold the war by constant repetition, watch Bill Moyers excellent show on how the Media sold the war which
documents this by showing film clips of Bush, Cheney, Condi endlessly quoting mushroom clouds, weapons of mass destruction, chemical and biological weapons, no facts, no reasoned approaches, just rhetoric and a lot of fist waving. I think Bushco sold the war
and the media lacked the objectivity to play its role as an independent fourth estate.
