You tell me what is the bigger infraction, writing about the drones but not presenting them in the oral report, or down and right forging documents about Iraq's nuclear weapons program? Or submitting a student paper as credible intel report to the world?

If we have an unbiased media, or if it is more or less equally biased on both sides of the issue, why don't these issues get the same amount of coverage than the drones? In fact, nevermind the forgery or the drones, the same poll you sited shows support for war is more or less evenly divided. Why isn't the media spending proportional amount of time for both sides of the debate?

There is an easy way to prove this massive propaganda campaign to yourself. Tune into Fox News or CNN and record any 2 hour period. Make a note of all pro-war remarks and all anti-war remarks. Then tell what percentage of time went into each.

It seems that freedom of the press is only for people who own the press. The rest of the public is just treated like mushroom; kept in the dark and fed BS.

PS the real issue has never been if Saddam is a good guy or if Iraqis like him. The issues have been (a) How big and how near of a threat he is (b) is war the only way to meet that threat IF it turns out that he is an imminent threat and (c) are we going about the war the right way. None of these questions have been answered adequately and the same biased poll from Time shows this.
