Um. Your little summary seems dubious. Woodward's flackery to power is somewhat longer lived that W's wartime propaganda, and Judy Miller's self-styled Ms. Run Amok reputation also predates W's rise. Meanwhile, back on the conventional reality front: The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." en.wikipedia.org You want to run with the praise W and pass the ammuniton crowd, that's your business. I'd stick with the reality-based community, depressing though that may be.
