The Bushies told me Saddam bought aluminum tubes for nukes.

The MSM told me they were unsuitable for nukes.



The Bushies told me Chalabai was reliable.

The MSM told me he was a crook and a liar.




The Bushies told me things were going great. There was no insurgency.

The MSM told me there was an insurgency and it was growing.



The Bushies told me the electricity was up and running.

The MSM told me there was actually less electricity than before the war.



The Bushies told me there were trained Iraqis who would soon defend their own country.

The MSM told me the training of Iraqis had failed so miserably they would have to start again



The Bushies told me they were giving me the true info on Iraq. That the MSM was hiding in the Green zone.

The MSM told me more reporters were killed in Iraq than in the same time frame as Viet Nam. And that most were killed outside the Green Zone.



The Bushies told me the insurgency was in its last throes.

The MSM said the insurgency was growing.



The Bushies told me our troops had adequate equipment.

The MSM told me they needed up armored Humvees and better body armor.



The Bushies told me they gave the military all the troops they asked for.

The MSM told me dozens of commanders on the ground had requested more troops.




The Bushies told me that at rebuilding Iraq would cost the U.S. 18 billion dollars.

The MSM told me it could run into the hundreds of billions.




The Bushies told me Saddam was an ally of Al-Qaeda.

The MSM told me Saddam and Al-Qaeda were enemies.




The Bushies told me the Iraqis would welcome us with open arms.

The MSM warned me that the Bushies were ignoring the opinions of the experts.





So all told, the MSM, while it has its faults, has been a far, far, far more accurate and believable source than the Bushies.

Must be troll day on P&N, first the thread about housing and then this.

If you rely on only Bush or MSM for your news you will be sadly uniformed.
Both are going to filter the news to fit their views. Bush will present you with an overly optimistic view while the MSM will present an overly negative view (good news doesn?t get ratings)
