When you're a Murdoch media pro-war gatekeeper, you're not paid to be right, or even mildly accurate, you're there to maintain the illusion that war can achieve more than it costs, in treasure and life and dignity.
The Professional Idiot's very professional propaganda :
November 2, 2007 : "The Iraq War Has Been Won"From "We Won!" in November 2007, to 'We've Almost Won!' in July 2009.
January 29, 2008 : "...the news about Iraq gets better..."
June 11, 2008 : "Challenges remain....the cost has been high..."
July 19, 2009 : "...Iraq is essentially won..."
Spin spin spin spin.
Whenever I see talk of "We're Winning This War!" or "We're Close To Victory!" I think about a hand-written sign I saw at a school students' anti-war rally in 2004. It read :
'War Is So 2oth Century.'
