And it was my friend's 5 year experience at an NBC news affiliate (in Dallas, no less) that showed him just the opposite; that the news media was liberally slanted, as evidenced by stories he was told to pursue and not to pursue.Irvine511 said:it was my experience at Discovery Times that demonstrated to me just how conservative the media has become -- these people weren't all ultra libera, but they were cosmopolitan and secular, and yet they felt the need to literally bend over backwards in order not to in any way, shape, or form give even a patina of liberalism lest they somehow be called "liberal."
Maybe you should have watched it - if you'd have you'd know exactly how evil this man is, the horrible things he subjected his own people to. If you had seen this, you'd have a hard time boo-hooing that the man was ousted from power.AcrobatMan said:hope they tell that he is not related or connected to Osama ...so that United States of America knows that...

agree with this evaluation of Saddam but that doesnt justify that war, according to me.

Liberating people from a madman like Sadsdam certainly justifies it for me. I don't give a rat's behind if our intelligence agencies, as well as that of Israel, Britain and Russia, were all wrong when they reported that Saddam had WMD. I don't think they were wrong, but even if they were, it wouldn't matter to me.

Maybe even reasoning. Perhaps the government should just be able to get on with whatever it is without pesky questions being asked. If people don't care, then it shouldn't matter.
