News by its nature is fast- and IMO the news outlets have not been fast enough by half. Had Americans known more about Iraq, and the nonexistent WMD, and the nonexistent threat Iraq posed, we wouldn't BE in this war, and we wouldn't care what kind of riots were going on in Pakistan, because they wouldn't be rioting about us. Our media rolled over and let the white house do what it wanted- which is why we're in the kind of situation where we care that people are rioting in Pakistan.

I don't have much respect for ANY of the media- I want MORE muck raking, not less. This has been one of the most secretive, least forthcoming administrations- and we don't even know how many Iraqis we've killed. Talk about lack of credibility! This administration has zero for me- the news media, with slightly more than zero, are leaps and bounds more trustworthy than the government. For me- personally.

As for undermining the country, Bush has made it so we couldn't respond to a real threat even if we wanted to. He's made us basically defenseless. I don't think anyone has been more of a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda either. They really ought to put Bush on the payroll- they couldn't have had a better PR guy.
