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.

No, Steve - they publish what they want to sell in a way that sells.
