News Coverage of Iraq War in US Media
As he campaigns for the White House, John McCain, Bush's heir apparent in the Iraq propaganda department, has been signaling that "complete victory" in Iraq will be his talking point of choice for Year 6. If the mainstream media and the American public don't wake up to the truth about how the war has gone, they'll find themselves buying into an even longer and deeper tragedy.
Judging by the severely diminished news coverage of the war in Iraq, the prospect of having the American public "wake up to the truth about how the war has gone" seems increasingly unlikely, I fear.
