A Deeper Conspiracy ?
Advertisements [?]
A Washington Post reporter on the MSNBC Olberman show last night, suggested that everyone in the media knew Bush was lying about going to war with Iraq? Could this be true? Does he have any idea the gravity of those statements?

They were hand in hand with the Bush Administration to deceive the American people into war? I personally did not "know" we were being lied to or deceived into war. I suspected it, but I did not "know" it. Evidently, the Congress did not know it either. More than 120 members of Congress have signed onto a letter to the White House to answer questions about this very matter. And this reporter says that the press knew Bush was being "deceptive"? They knew he was lying?

What does that mean? Did the NYTimes know that Judith Miller was working with a "con-man" to promote the White House push for war? Did the NY Times and the Washington Post know that Bush was lying to the people and they did not report it? Do they think it is their role to support and promote the agenda of any politician in office, without the full knowledge of the American people. This is so disturbing.

What does this mean? Who will tell the people if the press is involved in the conspiracy also? We all recall the cheerleaders and the excitement within the media, riding into war as "embeds", to report the glorious victory to the people back home. Am I looking at this from the wrong perspective? Or are matters much worse than we even imagined?
