The press is now going to investigate itself on post war reporting?
Is this right?

In order to fall all over themselves to prove that they aren't "biased" ;-) they now have to check to see if they are sufficiently telling the happy news about a warzone.

They have to listen to their viewers to see if THEY think the news media is properly reporting about somewhere THEY have never been.

The news media has done NO self examination of pre-war reporting or on their reporting in the midst of the war but now they have to examine whether or not they are being fair and telling all the freedom and happiness.

My head hurts just having to think about such nonsense.

8. And this is why they will make themselves extinct....
I rarely watch anymore....

It's war...there is nothing pretty about it....just another Rove tactic to confuse the populace....
They wanted this war and they got it...and they are eventually going to have to accept that it's not all fun and games....painting a school doesn't bring back all of the dead children....


It makes my head hurt...too:banghead:

Firesign Theater is catching up with Orwell here in bizarro world USA...sometimes I think George Leroy Tirebiter is pResident, instead of George Dumbya Bush!
