CdC,
Yep, I know I'm tiresome. And I plan to stay that way until the thickheaded ones finally come to their senses.
And did you see what General Odom said: "I said that the U.S. invasion of Iraq is not in our interest, it is in the interest of al-Qaeda and the interest of Iran.". Our continued presence there is hurting our country more than it is helping.
Hey Jamo,
I must have missed the part where Iraq attacked us. I must have been on the can.
Getting back to the original point about MSM: War and controversy sells. Five years ago the majority of people wanted war with Iraq. The MSM (with a lot of help from the administration) demonised Iraq. People wanted to hear how good we were and how bad Iraq was. Now that things are going badly in Iraq people want to hear how badly our leaders did that job. People are looking for somewhere to place blame that does not involve them.
Ten years ago the MSM was all over Clinton for his indiscretions. It was controversial, and it sold. MSM is a business, and they sell what people want to buy.
