The media's role in the election
I think this is a really important article. The author, Jeff Cohen, used to work at Fox News. He says:
To help Bush mislead Americans, Fox News Channel required that the banner "War on Terror" run when Iraq was discussed.Bush, with the cooperation of much of the media, actively and deliberately deceived Americans to gain their support. Whether or not you believe in his policies, how can that not piss you off? Don't you feel like you've been duped? Are you just refusing to admit he tricked you out of pride? Help me understand, because there's been nothing but bad news out of Washington since the election, and it's looking like my worst fears about Bush's second term are going to come true. What will it take to convince you, to gain your support in stopping him before he destroys everything?
