19. I believe brutally flawed journalism is responsible for the Iraq war & the 2004 election theft.

If the media had reported on what the PNAC said & did in the 1990s & 2000, far fewer people would have fallen for their WMD lies, enough that the war might have been prevented.

The media also facilitated the 2004 election theft in Ohio, where 2 members of the IT team had agreed to testify how they crashed OH election servers & diverted the count to backup servers they controlled so the vote counts could be altered, giving the state to Bush. Both of them were mysteriously killed before they could testify, & the media ignored it all.
