Dear Americans, re your "media", be it cable, network or print...

USATODAY.com - Poll: 70% believe Saddam, 9-11 link
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-09-06-poll-iraq_x.htm

You all DO KNOW by now that America was the ONLY NATION IN THE WORLD who ever had a majority believe this, right? You all DO KNOW by now that ONLY YOU were ever duped conned tricked into believing this, right?

Maybe it's way past time you all fix this wee Pravda problem you have...

It's the rest of the populace that is still slowly coming around.

The curious know.

Those who don't "do" politics.. (Like some don't "do" knitting, for instance) will not find out until their grandchildren tell them, years from now.

but it's still embarrassing.

that no one here was dumb enough to believe that?

spread by "anonymous sources".

People believe really weird things, especially in societies that encourage thinking unguided by logic or reason.

I, and many other longtime DUers, argued with DUers (even longtime ones) who did believe it.

Did you miss it all?

Anyways, I wasn't posting accusing DUers of anything; I posted a FACT. Two FACTS, in fact.

And a third FACT; it's way beyond time to get rid of the pravda problem in America.

If Pravda reports it wrong, we can get the truth from Izvestia or Trud!

:evilgrin:

and what's really sad is that that same percentage still buy the bullshit coming from MSM about Obama. And then, days later or weeks later, when proven wrong, no one bothers to reflect upon how they got there. Perhaps if that percentage would pause to question the "reports" about Obama before going all right wing nutso on him, we could hold it together long enough to get some real change happening.

And then we have the other problem of the media being so unaware of the constitution and the way our government is supposed to work, that they never question the RW talking points, so we end up with accusations that Obama isn't writing a health care plan of his own-- shiver me timbers, he's letting the legislative body legislate? --, or they chastise him for not letting the generals run make the larger decisions -- we elected our CIC, and as far as the larger decisions go, I'd rather he be the CIC, and take into account reports from generals, but also look at the larger picture of possibilities and strategies - some of which may not even be military-oriented. yes, I know, that's shocking.

Obama is chastised for "dithering" when in fact, he is considering. Something the last CIC could have used a bit of himself. It's called LEADERSHIP.
