Pundits Who Initially Backed the Iraq War Get Rewarded .....
Pundits who were wrong on Iraq are rewarded, and those who were right are not. That's the premise of a story posted on Radar magazine's Web site.


Here's the link:

So what pundits will be rewarded for supporting action against Iran?

1. This is what we've been observing since the 80s with the corporate media.
Establishment powers decided no more Watergate's, so they relentlessly bought up every broadcast and publishing media outlet that became available in the 80s and 90s.

Impeachment, Cheating Gore in 2000, 9-11 coverup, Iraq war, Stolen Election 2004, all happened BECAUSE the media made CERTAIN it happened.

2. Excellent story
Jonah Goldberg should be dangled with barbed wire. His column is absolutely worthless and poorly written to boot.

3. K&R - so so true and so infuriating
Every time I see these jerks, especially Friedman, I do a slow burn. I've also noted Kristol is popping up a lot trying to prop up this sorry saga.

4. A popular song during the American Revolution:


The World turned upside-down

If buttercups buzz'd after the bee,
If boats were on land, churches on sea,
If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows,
And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse,
If the mamas sold their babies
To the gypsies for half a crown;
If summer were spring and the other way round,
Then all the world would be upside down.
