2002 Bush is enraged that UN weapons inspectors are not finding any hidden weapons.

[ReasonableToo]

3. I remember CNN before invasion...

CNN showed an Iraqi minister of something on air talking about how they were cooperating with inspectors and the actions that the US was threatening to do would be unjust and illegal. Then CNN cut off the broadcast and said something about the us gov would not want that broadcast to continue. I thought that was a very strange thing to do and say. We found out later that there were actually gov officials in studio influencing coverage. (Can't find link)

That was the last time I sought out CNN for coverage on anything.

And now, one of the few news outlets that had pretty accurate coverage - KnightRidder- has been bought out. (See Pacifica Radio stations and DemocracyNow.org for more accurate domestic and world coverage)

We are so ignorant of what's going on around the world and in our own country! It's no wonder we keep doing the exactly wrong thing in most situations.
