Why does the entire media spectrum assume * has good intentions in Iraq?

[Terran1212]

It's getting annoying watching these pundits talk about the "success or failure of democracy in Iraq"; it's like the entire debate can only be constrained by Bush's incredible benevolence to liberate these ungrateful oppressed people is either going to end well or poorly. Anything that suggests the Administration's intentions were anything but pure and holy is disregarded as far-left talk.

What liberal media?

6. For the same reason you don't see Phil Donahue, Bill Moyers,

Howard Zinn and many others in the MSM. Gotta go to Link tv to see Amy Goodman. Gotta have HBO to see Bill Maher. Norm Chomsky isn't exactly welcome on most networks. And the list goes on and on.......

13. Take a look at the five media conglomerates that control the "spectrum"

As I always tell a conservative I spar with when he accuses the media of being liberal, these conglomerates ain't owned by Marxist hippie collectives.

Anyone who believes these corporatist owners don't control what's addressed in our media and how it's addressed have never worked for a corporation. You don't last long if you don't tow the corporate line that's tied to the top.
