The bias of the media has never been more stark [View all]

As the drumbeats for war grow louder and louder, who do the media invite on their programs as "experts" on war?

One would think they would invite the people that were correct in their comments about the last Iraq War? But no! The experts they look to for advice are the same people that were tragically wrong in the last war?? Why?

Where is the "liberal"media? Where is the media that is honest with the American people? Why are they pushing for war once again? Their bias shows that that is exactly what they are doing.
