Consortiumnews.com:
Tucked inside an article about George W. Bush's disastrous Iraq War and his continuing failure to catch Osama bin-Laden, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen offered a limited criticism of himself and his media colleagues who have acted as pro-Bush cheerleaders for much of the past four-plus years.
Those of us who once advocated this war [in Iraq] are humbled, Cohen wrote in a column on April 4. It's not just that we grossly underestimated the enemy. We vastly overestimated the Bush administration.
Not shit, Sherlock! But you did underestimate the Bushites ability to lie, again and again, with a straight face about everything from 9/11 to torture.
It will be a long time before the MSM and press wins back the trust of the American people. if ever.
