In the past I have written several post concerning the Iraq war including a two part series titled, "The Rosetta Stone To The Iraq War." My past post were about how Mr. Bush took our country to war in Iraq over WMD that did not exist and how he purposely mislead the American people. I have not written any post lately concerning Iraq because I feel the people have finally understood just how reckless the Bush Presidency has been.
There is another part of the Iraq war that I touched upon concerning how the news media, especially T.V. journalists promoted the war on their own without seeking the truth or facts and aided and abetted the Bush administration in promoting the war. Now we have some new revelations in a soon to be released book written by Scott McClellan, the Presidents former Press Secretary. I will not rehash what he said about the President and Iraq because I covered that before but I do want to cover what he said about the news media because the same thing is going on today concerning the Democratic Primaries for that party's nomination.
Mr. McClellan called the news media "complicit enablers in the White House's carefully orchestrated campaign to shape and manipulate sources of public approval in the march to the Iraq war." That my friends is the exact thing they are doing with the promotion and crowing of Barack Obama as the nominee before the process is complete and clamoring for Senator Clinton to drop out of the race. They have chosen sides instead of covering and reporting on the process for the nomination and how there are many more issues the DNC will have to solve before a nominee can be officially chosen.
Chris Matthews on Hardball ran a caption across the T.V. screen asking Is Clinton hurting the Democrats by staying in the race? He already knew the answer because the people have already stated they wanted her to stay in the race till the process was complete. But there he was trying to plant the seed that she is hurting her party. He really shows his ass and how insecure and dishonest he really is. When the nominee's for the general election is finally known you can be sure that the news media will choose sides and then go after the other guy or gal. Journalists have already planted the seed that if Obama is the nominee and looses in the general election it will be Senator Clinton's fault. They try to cover for Obama every way they can think of. They have no character. That says it all.
By the way, I wrote several letters to Journalists long before the Iraq war started and told them what I thought about not having the character to look for the facts concerning Iraq instead of promoting Bush's talking points.
