It's naive to the nth degree to believe these analysts did not have some stake in the game, and it's incredibly stupid to believe that the networks are somehow objective in their reporting. In an albeit reluctant nod to Fox News, at least Fox openly and proudly wears their subjectivity and bias where everyone can see it. . .hear it. Sorry folks, but the days of Edward R Murrow and Walter Cronkite have long passed. There is no 4th estate - they've all been moved to the guard the gates at the WH.

It just takes more of them these days. Yes, I too am dismayed by the total lack of objectivity in the news. We must not allow ourselves to become desensitized. The truth can set us free, maybe that's why BushCo & the Pentagon fear it so much. Phil, The dollar is still powerful. It just takes more of them these days.

Should this not involve a court trial and a jail sentence? They, with Bush, Cheney and that whole cabal, have caused hundreds of thousands of needless deaths and the expenditure of billions of dollars. I don't even think that they feel any remorse because if they faced what they have done they would never be able to sleep or go out in public again. They need to be held to account in a court of law and out in the open where the horror of what they have done can be witnessed by the whole world. It's time that their dastardly deeds were exposed to the whole world.

Nancy Pelosi took the reins of power by stating that the Dems would not seek impeachment. Very few senators are interested in rocking the boat...It's business as usual. The image of that Nero fiddling while Rome burned comes to mind. How can these people employed by the Pentagon sleep at night? I would think that their nightmares are so filled with the innocent people that have died needlessly because of their complicity in a horrible exercise of duplicity and lies should be soul wrenching...But the horrors keep on growing and compounding. I'm numb and oh, so disillusioned. I don't think that Humpty Dumpty (the US) can ever be put back together again!

You would think with all of this damning evidence there would be thousands of responses. After a long wait, I can finally tip my hat to the NYT's. Many of us have known for a long time now that the collusion of the media with the White House, the Pentagon, defense contractors etc have been manipulating the public like puppets on a string. The question now lies in what is to be done about it? Are we to simply hear our elected reps tell us this is bad and leave it at that or will heads roll and the public receive it's well earned pound of flesh?
