That is a profound statement considering all the other explosive statements Colonel Wilkerson has made about his Party.
The media is owned by corporate interests. The same corporate interests that support his Party. They are just as complicit with the lies as the Bush Administration that led us into a trumped up War. Lets be honest, Saddam Hussein was an Arab Dictator that needed to be got rid of, for what meddling certain interests wanted to do in the Middle East. They didn't need him anymore, so they got rid of what they thought was a nuisance. That is why the Congress and media went along. Most in the Republican Party still defend that War but now they find themselves in the minority. So instead of real journalism, many in the American media today, ( owned by corporate monopolies) try to shape American Policy, instead of reporting facts. If the facts don't jive with their agenda's, then they create their own facts. Just look at what they are trying to do with fiscal Policy, even though Public opinion isn't with them. They are lying about entitlements too. They weren't so concerned about Fiscal Policy then when they were trumping up an illegal War, leading us to nation building. They are all profiting off it too.
