Remember when Spiro Agnew caused such a firestorm by referring to the media as "nattering nabobs of negativism"?
He was so right.

I think this is what pi$$e$ me off the most. The MSM concoct surveys and analysis pieces, which can be skewed any way they wish, and try to pass it off as objective research and analysis. I don't know how it can be done, but somehow the American public must hold these peoples' feet to the fire.

LOL! I guess that just goes to show how much of a newbie I am. I still think it's a great piece.

Ah, Newsweek, just another traitorous left-wing rag, destined for the ash heap of history along with the rest of the dinosaur media...

Many in the American public are totally oblivious to the MSM's concoctions and lies. Many, many years of having a monopoly on news has brainwashed and dumbed-down a large portion of the American public.

I don't think there is anyone on this forum who believes that Newspeak would EVER! publish a pro-admin article. They are almost as far left as The Nation, a rag which makes it its business to be anti-American.

Unfortunately many of them do not want to know, because that would mean they have been fooled for most of their lives. I love my parents, but they will believe the Newsweek story because it is in Newsweek. To believe the Pentagon would mean that Newsweek lied and if they lie about Afghanistan, that would mean that they lied about other things. Those "other things" are most of the reasons my parents are Democrats. That is also the "truth" for lots of the pre-boomers.
