You’re right. There are only two choices left to report for the MSM.
1. The incessant drumbeat about no WMDs in Iraq by the media was wrong, and they owe Bush an apology.
2. There were no WMDs in Iraq when Bush was in office, but they’re there now, so it’s Obama’s fault in dropping the ball.
Of course what the MSM will do, as it famously did in cases like Walter Duranty winning a Pulitzer for falsely reporting about no starvation in the Soviet Union under Stalin, is to simply not bring up their past reporting which contradicts their current reporting. Come to think of of, it’s much the same thing they did with global cooling, no global warming. Never mind. Climate Change.
That's where the tactic I outlined works so well, all one has to do is say that the current administration has fostered a climate which allows WMD.
