I just watched Selling the War on streaming video. It is appalling to see how easily the media were led down the garden path by the Bush administration, and how little truly critical thinking there was. I was stunned when they talked about how Ted Kennedy, one of the most powerful and vocal Democrats, had a speech in which he laid out many of the inconsistencies of the pro-war agenda, and had it relegated to 36 words in the Press. It seems like the majority of the press took a course in boot licking from the White House.
It's frightening, to say the least.
