How Our Media Is Failing You

They are not reporting the story that the Administration and Petraeus's drum-beating of "Iran, Iran, Iran" has fallen apart because they have not been able to show the evidence. The Iraqi government has not been convinced by the allegations (after all, they have good relations with Iran) and the purported cache of Iranian supplies consisted of nothing of the sort.

You won't see much of this in the New York Times, which despite years of experience with the lies of the Bush Administration, seemed to be swallowing the "Iran is to blame" line with a wide open throat. Their reporter, Michael Gordon, seems to be particularly willing to dish out to the Times's readers whatever load of tripe the Pentagon serves up.

Bet you haven't seen much of this story, either. As it is confirmed by two men with opposite political agendas, Doug Feith and Wesley Clark, it is probably true.

"Media" as Orwellianism is a raging success of propaganda.
