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.

PLEASE!! The MSM that you accuse of aiding Senator Obama is owned and operated by the very people who are primary contributors to Senator Clinton. Brian Williams, an NBC anchor, works for General Electric. At ABC, George Stephanopoulos works for Disney. Katie Couric at CBS, works for Viacom. CNN is part of Time-Warner. We all know about Fox News. Rupert Murdoch actually held a fundraiser for Senator Clinton!! Richard Scaife Mellon's ultra-conservative newspaper was the only major Newspaper in Pennsylvania to endorse Senator Clinton. The architects of the Iraqi war push within the MSM have all endorsed Senator Clinton. The major corporate sponsors of the Iraqi War have given more money to Senator Clinton than any other presidentail candidate, Democrat OR Republican. One of the main problems with Clinton is that she is so beholden to these special interests that she will never make a change in Washington. She's a very large part of what is wrong with Washington. NAFTA, CAFTA, free trade with Columbia, approval of land mines and the use of cluster bombs in heavily populated areas, approval of a war resolution against Iraq and continued support of that war until her run for president, a vote declaring Iran a terrorist nation, basically helping to sell Bush's ramp up to an Iranian war. Constant lies... misspeaks. These are issues that show that a Clinton presidency would not be any diferent than the current Bush presidency. As Ann Coulter pointed out, if it comes down to Clinton or McCain, she'd vote for Hillary because she's more conservative.
My goodness anonymous you sure said a mouthfull of nothing. But I am glad you mentioned Pennyslvania because Senator Clinton won the people's vote there. They showed good sense and judgement.

Really? Why then does their good sense and judgement matter more than the majority of people who have voted nationwide. According to realclearpolitics.com, in the elections and primaries where Clinton and Obama were both on the ballot, Obama has 17,389,253 votes to Clinton's 17,364,667? In delegates won, (not counting super delegates) Obama has 2,073 to Clinton's 1,915. Obama won almost twice as many states as Clinton. Here's a legitimate question. What argument can be made for giving the nomination to the candidate who finished second?
