Eleven Years On: How ‘The Washington Post’ Helped Give Us the Iraq War
In the months before the war, The Washington Post ran more than 140 stories on its front page promoting the war.
writing about for, oh, the past decade or so—the media’s sad, tragic performance during the run-up to the US attack on Iraq—never gets old, at least for me. It provides such a revealing glimpse of, and warning about, how leading media outlets usually cave to the “official narrative” from the “serious” policymakers and pundits. Howard Kurtz, now at Fox, calls it, aptly, the media’s “biggest failure of modern times.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's a shame the WP has come out being part of the huge lie media. Most people saw them as a very credible source. Now however they are seen about as fake as CNN, and whatever other so called fake news the liberals think are fake.
They have a bad reputation and are getting caught lying away ............... They should have ended up on the fake news list for sure.
