You know what is disgusting?


Bush gets away with calling the Iraq war part of the war on terror and the media just regurgitates it.

Fucking disgusting.

Discuss.

1. I think the media in general is overly disgusting
They helped to sell the war, and now they help to perpetuate the occupation.

Farging Iceholes!

6. indeed
but -- and i don't have to tell you this -- the media cannot be thought of anything other than part of the state machine.
both the machine in washington and of course the machine that washington fronts for -- the corporations.

3. I agree
one of the things that upsets me the most. The worst is that the majority of Americans (heard it on NPR this morning) believe it. They believe Iraq is part of the war on terror. They media is in control here as far as I'm concerned; they choose to repeat the administration's propoganda instead of making a a clear distinction and the misconception continues.
