Maybe this is why the "golderned librul media" has been so puke-inducingly right wing this time around. Americans will NEVER admit they've screwed up, and American business won't admit to being anything but lily-white and saintly. They know they fell WAY too far into this war thing in their quest for ratings, and now they have to continue backing the Enemy of the People so they don't have to admit it.

Hell, for that matter, maybe they're still looking for ratings. "Gentlemen, war sells. It's BIG money. We'd better make sure * gets appointed again so we'll have at least one more before we have to start finding our own news again."
