You are too dismissive of the power of the media. And you
are too dismissive of the political agenda behind all too
many journalists & media outlets. They don't openly root
for failure, but they make it clear in the obvious bias in
their reporting that they do not want success in Iraq as
long as Bush is still President. They over-report & hype
any perceived & real negative & they grossly under-
report/ignore any positives. The worst of them openly lie
& distort & rarely get the proper punishment they deserve.

And the general public is rarely informed of past
inaccuracies that were reported. At best, they must
stumble upon retractions that should be widely reported &
properly corrected in context.

FWIW, these guys needed the media behind them for this to
work. And work it did! Funny how this guy was so prescient
too. What was true for them is also true for the media....

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,
people will eventually come to believe it.

"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State
can shield the people from the political, economic and/or
military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to
repress dissent, <font size=4>for the truth is the mortal enemy of the
lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest
enemy of the State." <font size=3>

Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945
