Why this sudden push to rewrite history about the Iraq war?

76. If there's any push to "rewrite history", it's to actually get it right this time.

I think your criticisms of "people" generally fall outside the realm of DU'rs. But the history that was written for the masses in America is full of the lies we all heard back then. The turning point for many (outside of DU and like blogospheres) , however, was when it became obvious that Sadaam didn't have WMD's. But even that lie died a slow death.

Your rage with the American people, could probably be more accurately targeted at certain segments of the population. It was not hard to get the right information back then, but you had to be suspicious of the media to begin with. And back then, most mainstream media groups were trusted. They bet their reputations on supporting the Iraq invasion and for me, that was the last straw. As far as television was concerned, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Faux could never be trusted again. I think NBC was the first to get it. They pushed their branding to MSNBC and actually hired liberal hosts. Good on them.

There's no rewrite of history going on with Rachel Maddow's upcoming show. I'd call it more of a "setting the record straight."
