If Liasson were anything but an empty vessel filled with comfortable non-sense, she wouldn't be on Fox News.
There is another blatantly false meme working its way through both the right and the left, and that is "Iraq is the bad war, and Afghanistan is the good war that we've been neglecting." This is a fringe position embraced as conventional wisdom by both the left and the right.
Mara 'Lie'asson is one more reason America's mainstream media is fading fast. No one in their right mind watches her or the other liars in the MSM. The 1/3 that do and still support the war are the uninformed and do not count.
Any pundit who uses the broad term of "the American people" is like a teenager who says "everybody does it/ has one/ will be there" and should be called on it. Unfortunately there's only one Glenn Greenawald around to do the dastardly deed. All the other pundits just agree and nod like a bunch of bobble heads. Producing survey results such as in this article can provide credibility to media speak but too many people conjure up their own ideas and volunteer "the American people" to back them up.
Glenn, please keep pointing out these phonies. Hopefully some other writers will notice and maybe do some thinking (God forbid) and critiquing on their own.
