That's absolutely right, if what you want is to split the country right down the middle and start a second civil war. Red vs. Blue, neighbor vs. neighbor. You've got one half that'll buy into any anti-Bush op ed or 60 Minutes story they see, and the other half that will never trust the media to think for them, and both sides are getting angry and could even get violent if the tension got to them. Maybe the media does have some sense of responsibility after all, 'cause this is just the kind of divisive political crap that could cause Americans to hate each other. The American media is the most syndicated around the world, and what kind of examle would they be setting if they published such one-sided, biased, black and white, left and right, unchecked and unquestioned propaganda like all the editorials you've dredged up? At best our media would simply be ignored abroad, but more likely foriegners would turn their anti-Bush sentiments against all Americans, especially those in foreign countries. I think the big meida companies understand how they could easily isolate this nation from the rest of the world, economically as well as politically, and that is probably one of many reasons they won't report on the Dwoning Street minuites until Congress launches an investigation.
This is my plea that everyone reserve judgement until judgement has been passed in a court of law. And if that never happens then that's just the way it's going to be. Trust our Constitutional system to hold those accountable to account, and if you can't trust it then change it, if you think you can. Elect a new government if you don't find this one agreeable. Have a little patience, my friends. We wouldn't want our troops to come back to find their homeland in ruins because we couldn't agree on the resons for sending them off if the first place. Not that we would actually do such a thing, but still, we want them to be as proud of us as we are of them. A little healthy skepticism will go a long way toward keeping this nation intact, else we risk betraying those who put their lives on the line for us.
