Did Bush ever apologize to the Iraqis for the hundreds of thousands of dead? Did Saddam apologize to the Iraqis he killed, tortured, and raped?

Did Pruitt ever apologize to America for hiring on such pitiful journalists ~ they believe the basest sort of propaganda ~ the "100,000 dead" crap has been getting pushed ever since BEFORE the first Gulf War. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down ~ first it was blamed on "UN Sanctions", then on the "American attack", then back on "American Sanctions (meaning UN Sanctions)", then the "American occupation", etc., etc.
It's just a story. no one even knows if any Iriqis have been killed unless they were there and watched it happen. Sure can't depend on the press enough to tell us the truth ~ and here's the McClatchy crowd just stirring it and stirring it.
95% drop eh? Sounds good.

Did Bush ever apologize to the Iraqis for the hundreds of thousands of dead? That figure is grossly, grossly overinflated.

Infants cheering the infantile antics of one of their own.
Whatever happened to ideas and persuasion? Sorry the MSM can’t be bothered.

I am sorry to admit that I once worked for McClatchy in California. What a bunch of weasels. They are now getting what they deserve.

If you think there were no consequences, you are quite naive.

newsbusters is getting as bad as the loons they audit. The comments at the bottom are not from McClatchy folks...they are others, including non-journalists. Only a portion of what newsbusters cited was in the post.

Unfortunately this article plainly reveals the sorry, worthless trash that has been produced by “journalism” schools for the past four decades. Journalism majors, sociology majors and education (with some extremely dedicated exceptions) majors are the bottom of the academic barrel.

While two wrongs don’t make a right, it’s interesting to consider the long history of McClathcy newspapers, when you think about how McClatchy himself was jailed for publishing stories that were embarassing to politicians.
I don’t think the current crowd is of the same caliber.

Comment at top (first comment) was from a McClatchy journalist talking about other McClatchy journalists journalists at the office. So they WERE cheering for the shoe tosser.
