Reply #5: Wow! You just replicated a discussion we had not ten minutes ago in our living room

It's all revisionist right now. I remember very well all the cheerleading, flag waving, zenphobic, non-questioning, roll-over, non-coverage, propagandizing- run up to the war by most (if not all ) media talking heads.

There was a great thread here not that long ago that asked "How come we all knew it was BS but the media and our elected leaders didn't?"

That is still the question. They rammed it all through by pretending there was some scary,secret, immediate threatening stuff that we didn't know about. Only there wasn't. There were only discussions about how to "wrong-foot" Sadam, and how to pretend that Al-Q was tied to Sadam Hussein, etc. etc. etc. All lies, lies and damned lies.

Meanwhile,

Osama releases his greatest hits video collection
No anthrax answers
Afghanistan goes backwards
New Orleans drowns
Iraq goes to hell in a handbasket
US goes insolvent

Oh, well . . . too bad there's no real news. Wait, there is real news, there's just no real reporters. At least not on MSM. No compelling reason to watch them, except to log what they're NOT reporting.
