Reply #39: 'a willingness to collude '

[Catrina]

Yes, and they are brazen about it now, as Tucker Carlson's statement in the OP shows. He TELLS us that Bush should have lied about Fitzgerald and investigation in order to be able to thrash it later, should we find out it was, in fact, serious!!

Then we find out his father is helping Libby's defense!! How much more compromised could he be? He's not at all concerned about the charges being true, just in getting Libby off the hook, and wishing the President of the US had lied to cover it all up!!

Then we find out about Chris Matthews' association with Abramoff ~ and these 'journalists' are the ones delivering the 'news' about these cases every night without revealing their own role in the stories themselves! Shouldn't there be laws against this?

Judith Miller also, reporting on, eg, Dr. Kelly's death (the British scientist also involved in the WMD and Niger yellowcake story) without revealing her own personal and very important correspondence with him right before his 'suicide'.

And as pointed out already, Woodward ~ I confess to being fooled for a while by Judith Miller, Woodward and Chris Matthews ~ although I was often frustrated that those I thought had integrity, never seemed to know what we knew ~ now I know they did and were complicit in it.

They should go down with the rest of the cabal just as Germany's propagandists did when all this is over, imo ~ as a warning first of all to Americans, that while they often distrust politicians, they need to be ever vigilent when it comes to the press also. I know that now and will never again trust any of them until they prove themselves.
