"Moyers' documentary is a superb piece of journalism and makes inescapably clear how profoundly corrupt our dominant political and media institutions were prior to the invasion. But most national "journalists" will simply ignore the whole program (as Digby notes, The New York Times, one of the principal culprits, did not even review it)."
I was, and still am repulsed, by the coverage of the New York Times during the run-up to the Iraq War.
I am embarrassed by the various explanations given by the VIP's in the organization.
As when Elisabeth Bumiller and her editors ignored Steve Colbert's monologue at the Press Corps gala in D.C. last year (incidentally viewed by millions within 48 hours on Youtube) because it wasn't newsworthy, they again have chosen to ignore another story that harms their reputation.
Hillary can't admit that she was snookered and neither can the New York Times.
I find the reporting by Patrick Healy and Bumiller very biased. Friedman is truly culpable for his undeserved influence. His support for the war was maniacal.
How come I could discern everything that was awry, confirmed by the plethora of books on the incompetency of the administration and their ulterior motives, and not have the New York Times Whitehouse press reporters able to do so. They are properly called Bush lapdogs. I am a nobody!
