America media is sooo gullible.
The media doesn't even know a story when it sees one. We are so intensely focused on a runaway bride that the FUCKING WAR IN IRAQ barely gets mentioned. I as so ashamed that we have not held our media to a higher standard...we WILL pay the price.

2. Media Not Dumb
For the most part they know exatly what they are doing, and that is as they are told to do if they want to keep a job.

3. Who's gullible.. the media or the consumers of it?
Getting the media under its control has been the single most important achievement on the conservative movement in the last thirty years.

This war could not have taken place in the 1970's because enough people, properly informed by their... at that time... somewhat independent media( which actually informed them about the war in VN instead of occasionally simply passing on government information about the war) would not have tolerated it.
