Hello CD,

Interesting piece, there. Could you not also find something about the republicans before the war? They were the ones providing the intel. I'll never forget a speach Donald Rumsfelf made about WMD before the invasion, stating, "we know where their weapons are, they are right inside the green line."

There was obviously faulty intelligence and people based their opinions on that. But, I'm with you in not trusting the media. That's why I watch not only news from the USA but from Canada, and the UK as well and try and make my own determinations.

It's always spin, spin, spin...these people should be DJs.

Aloha GC,

I totally agree with you about the media should be DJ's - All what they do is spin, Spin, SPIN........

Cheerio,

too bad i don't have no sound here at my working place. but i guess i got it all. unfortunately it's not a new thing that media has a lying tradition, or in the best cases, contradictory intelligence. all we see on tv is infuenced made by governmental decisions, market tendencies, a myriad of little things that the average watcher can't even think of ( i include myself ).

Aloha sunwaiter,

When the medai and the politicos try to placate the voting constituency, they tell them that they are not lying - they are only dissembling the truth - ah yes, that fancy euphemism *dissemble*....

Cheerio,

Aloha sunwaiter,
