“The tenth anniversary of the start of America’s illegal and aggressive war against Iraq should not pass without recalling that the mainstream news media eagerly participated in the Bush administration’s dishonest campaign for public support. Most news operations were little more than extensions of the White House Office of Communications. The media became shameful conduits for unsubstantiated and outright false information about Saddam Hussein’s alleged threat to the American people.  Unfortunately, even as media figures now issue mea culpas about their shameful Iraq ‘coverage,’ they are engaged in precisely the same shoddy business with respect to Iran.”
