New York Times Executive Editor Howell Raines has consistently and aggressively promoted liberal policies throughout his career So, sticking to the topic at hand, Iraq: An unbiased and insightful media outlet would have reported that all of the people who were claiming Saddam had WMD and was a threat had a long history of lying. Every time something came up, this would have been emphasized. "Wolfowitz says Saddam is a threat, but Wolfowitz has a long, documented history of lying to promote aggressive military actions" is how the stories would have been reported by an unbiased media.
