In SOME cases, the MSM contributed to mis-informing the public, but more so it was the MSM telling their audience what they want to hear. And they were told we were avenging 9-11, and getting rid of a terror threat, both of which were lies told by the W administration, and the reason the sale was made was too few opposition party pols had the balls to stand up and call a lie a lie, e.g. see what happened to Dean - he was branded "unhinged" with a manipulated sound bite.go whine to the dailykos.
you people had no problems with the coverage during Bush's terms and how they covered the Iraq war. you are out there making an ass of yourselves with protesting's while we had BOOTS on the ground. they had a daily body count not one of you condemned it. You need a crying towel or a box of tissues?
The Media was in bed with the invasion of Iraq from the very start of the propaganda push, through Shock and Awe, until the occupation went totally FUBAR and a civil war developed between three factions. They led the public down the primrose path parroting the WH talking points all the way.
This latest episode will eventually turn out ok, imo, because the potus is for the refugee entry. Obama's a terrible communicator, and instead of taking the high ground on morality, and increasing the vetting of the refugees, he's arguing with bombastic aholes who are engaging in fear mongering and out right religious intolerance.
There will be another attack someday. Even Cheney was upfront about that. But, allowing 10K refugees in is not akin to the waves of undocumented refugees flooding into europe
