CdC,
The media publishes what it thinks will sell. Six years ago the thing that sold well was making the case for going in to Iraq. Ask the guy on the street why we invaded Iraq and a lot of them will tell you that it was because Hussein was involved with 9/11, or because he would not let the inspectors in, or a variety of other reasons. Very little hard questions were asked before going in to Iraq - mostly because most Americans wanted to kick some ass, and didn't really care whose.
Most Americans don't want the truth, especially if it challenges what they think - they want to be reassured that they are right. And the MSM, because it is a business, will provide that service for as long as it is profitable.
