Wash Post Smears War Critics, Again

By Robert Parry
June 21, 2006

One might think that a newspaper which helped fan a war frenzy that got more than 2,500 American soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis killed might show some remorse or at least some circumspection before attacking critics of that misadventure. But that is not the way of the Washington Post.

One also might think that a newspaper would have some interest in holding dishonest politicians accountable, especially when the consequences of their deceptions have been as grievous as George W. Bush’s Iraq War lies. But that also is not the way of the Post.

More than three years into the Iraq War, the Post’s editors remain steadfast defenders of Washington’s neoconservatives who pushed the dangerous doctrine that military invasion was the way to “democratize” Muslim countries in the Middle East. In 2002-2003, the Post’s editors cast Iraq War skeptics out of the polite opinion-page society – and are still at it.

“Many Democrats, looking to exploit bad news without appearing to rejoice in it, demagogued about presidential ‘lies,’ obtusely denied any relationship between Iraq and the war on terrorism and called for troop withdrawal without honestly facing the consequences of such a move.”

These papers are sickening. Why don't they answer those two questions?

why is beyond me.

this has the full article your inquiring about.

Damn, screwed up another LBN post. Thought, time great 3 hours old, post it dude. Show them the other
30 rejects were not the real you (they all should have been LBN rejects. I had a 2 story win streak
for two stories.

Parry is the dude. This is inspirational. If I could meet anyone in my area,it would be Parry!

:hi:

That includes fiction and editorial masquerading as news. The WP seems to go to any distance in order to remove and deny itself from the WP legacy of bringing down Nixon. In their deluded or bank account enriched minds, they must think bringing down Clinton or Gore or Kerry was good (for their bank accounts.)

While I can’t rule out greed, I’m almost sure there are photos of dead boys and/or girls connected with the publisher.

Canceling subscriptions to the fish wrap would help to send a message.

They ave a vomitorium of all that is very wrong with journalism. Just watch Downie for about
120 seconds, it's chilling. I cancelled in '98 when they started doing porn every day with Clinton.

Their pattern of dishonest behavior is so blatant, it's almost laughable.

Nothing that they print surprises me anymore.
