The thing that really bothers me about all this is how nearly every
single media outlet was willing to go along with this, how obvious it
was that press conferences were staged, and the hypocritical "outrage"
that the press is expressing now that this manipulation is laid bare. I
also find it incredulous that there seems to be so little scepticism
from U.S. citizens toward their government.
Of course, as one person put it on the Tavis Smiley Show last week, and
I paraphrase, "I don't know one person who approves of Bush...". Seems
to me that a good portion of the propaganda is a kind of "peer
pressure", that one is in the minority to disagree with the U.S.
administration.
