It makes correspondents like Richard Engel wet. Same thing happened in the lead-up to the 2nd Gulf War. It was covered like the lead up to the Super Bowl. I participated in a few of the protests pre-invasion, but I was so cynical of the MSM that I compared their coverage to Hank Williams, Jr's opening of Monday Night Football (Are you ready for a Gulf War?). I avoided American MSM and got.of my news from the BBC at that time.
