Dick Gregory - no, the majority of you MSM people did not do your job... |
|
I get so sick and tired of these self-flagellating reporters whining about the great job they did during Bush's march to war. Yes, the spine to Congress was as limp as an overcooked noodle, but the MSM blew it and blew it big time.
My one question to all of these whiners is this: If I, a normal, every day American KNEW, yes, KNEW, from the start it was all bullshit based on blatant lies, then how the hell did they miss it? How did they blow it? All the answers were right out there all the time (the aluminum tube issue, the false mobile death labs, the ability to strike the UK in 45 minutes, drones with anthrax, Niger and yellowcake, et ceter).
They blew it because they did no homework, fell into the practice of repeating, and bought the "best guy to have a beer with" bullshit.

5. Don't you mean David? I love Dick Gregory and he's pretty astute, |
|
but I don't think he's got much to apologize for.

6. We know what they did, the question I want answered is why did they do it. |
|
I've heard that they would not get access to the White House if they did not toe the line. I heard that the corporate execs thought it was in their best interest. The problems I have with this is that it started during the 2000 campaign.
I remember that just before bush was the nominee the MSM were not doing favorable reports on him. They were all saying bush had the least amount of foreign experience than anyone. He was never out of the country. He didn't know the names of world leaders or where their countries were on a map.
Then things changed and they started attacking Gore 24/7. Why?
