I hope no uninformed person actually believes that Mr Bush had the power to 'effectively muzzle the press'. Or that there were not plenty of dissenting voices questioning the gravity of the WMD threat.
And look how a lot of them were treated...
From the Dixie Chicks (whose careers effectively ended for criticizng US Policy) to Max Cleland (A triple amputee who was compared to Bin Laden and Saddam because he wanted a few union protections for DHS employees.)
We all went a little crazy after 9/11, and people around Bush used that to get us to go along with some really dumb policies.
Bush did not muzzle the media as the far left has control of the majority of the media. If that were the case all that far left propaganda would not have been seen on those blog sites/"news" stations.
Well, guy, the problem isn't the political orientation of the media. The Media went well out of its way pretending that Bush wasn't retarded when he obviously was.
The problem is that 95% of the media is owned by five corporations. And those corporations were all for the war when it started.
