15. The same media that is "turning opinion against the war"

helped get the public to SUPPORT it back in 2002 and '03. Remember CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News all showed banners on their front screens that said "Showndown with Iraq" as early as January, February, or March of 2002? Remember how they hyped intelligence from people like Chalabi (aka Judy Miller)? The traditional media did not question Bush adequately because they were afraid of being accused of being unpatriotic, just for doing their fucking job!
