Stating the obvious...
... well, for anyone who's paying attention, anyway.
I've made it quite clear that I have an enduring, white-hot hatred for the media/mainstream media/"news". I'd feel that way a bit less if "news" organizations were more forthcoming about the fact that they're more about providing entertainment for profit. As long as it'll keep you watching, they'll "report" on it -- whether it's actual news or not.
One thing they're getting plenty of mileage out of is the overall public's dislike of Dubya. Unfortunately, too many people run away with that sentiment, and are willing to ignore the truth in order to continue to indulge themselves in their dislike for the current administration. The "news" is willing to play up poll numbers and "report" on Cheney's hunting accident in order to capitalize on such dislike rather than to report that Bush was most likely in the right (no pun intended) when he ordered the invasion of Iraq.
I won't blame anyone for disliking Bush and/or Cheney and/or Rummy. But to continue to belive that Saddam didn't have it coming?!?!? Wake up.
Saddam had chemical weapons, and had, at the minimum, plans for biological and nuclear weapons programs. It's on tape. (The fact that he managed to get rid of the evidence before we invaded does not make me lose sleep.) I want to see the "news" "reporting" on these tapes half as much as they "reported" and "analyzed" Cheney's hunting accident. Instead, I'm hearing about Jon Stewart and the Oscars. Figures.
