Reply #215: I think in some of the DSM posts there were some answers.... [View All]

On the DU I remember we were WAY ahead of the MSM for a long time. I know I went to a Media Fair only this March because it was still so bad. I confronted the Star Tribune and some other minor players with stuff I'd read here and they were floored. Didn't have a clue.

I also remember sending in a lot of letters to papers and FAUX etc even NPR because of mis-information and sending emails to Senators like Kennedy, Boxer and Reid about stuff we knew was going on and seeing a ripple effect within a week or two on those issues.

When the DSM broke, I read and read and even when into the supplemental report on how they were advised it was illegal to bomb as they had been months before B*** ever asked for permission.

Somewhere at some point I remember reading that the Niger forgeries were witheld from the people who would know right away what they were and I remember how pissed Colin Powell was when he realized he'd been duped. He wasn't even invited to the high level meetings about Iraq, just informed of his talking points - and he was Secretary of State at the time.

When the rethugs had all the power and they had the press wrapped up and didn't think people could see them, they did highly irregular things and got away with them
