The Greatest Story Ever Sold


Bush loyalists (how can there still be any) would view this as a partisan attack, but I think a big point Rich makes is that the media abdicated its traditional role and continues to do so. Just today I heard a BBC radio guy talking about how people are beginning to doubt the truthfulness of the reasons given for the Iraq war. Well, Rich shows that it's been a lie from the start (not honest difference of opinion, not carelessness with language -- a calculated lie), and the media let the lie slide. ***** Everyone should care, and everyone should read it, but if you care and you aren't going to read it, at least go to his web site and look at the time line.
