...was too easy on Bush when he was trying to rationalize the war in Iraq? Do we need a tougher liberal press to make sure we get the truth that conservatives will not tell us?
 
The corporate press was complicit in selling Bush's war to the American public.

They are in the advertising business.

If polls show that their consumer base supports a position, they report that position.

If a different position would keep consumers tuned in through the commercials for Purple Pills and Ditech, then they report that position.

The actual liberal press did report the truth about Bush's war from the beginning.

Common Dreams and Mother Jones reported the rest of the story.

So did the international press where they are legally bound to report without bias..

The American corporate press is a business.

They are in the business of keeping you tuned in while they bring you words from their sponsors.
