[Vision2020] Active Troops by and large, support Bush....

[Sunil Ramalingam]

People regularly label the New York Times as liberal.  This so-called 
liberal paper published Judith Miller's uncorroborated stories about WMD in 
Iraq on their front page.  These stories helped pave the way to war.

After Colin Powell's speech to the UN, the mainstream media uncritically 
accepted what he said.  Other sources, off the beaten path, refuted most of 
his claims, but not the mainstream press.  Now it's recognized that what he 
said was wrong, and he regrets the speech; at the time, it went 
unchallenged.

I will agree that there are plenty of liberals in the press, and I 
understand why you take your position, Matt.  But I think the press is 
pretty cautious - cowardly, actually - when it comes to taking on the 
government.

Ted Moffett has tried without success to get a discussion going on this 
issue.  I think there's a lot of self-censorship that goes on in the 
mainstream media.
