Anyone who's seen any American media would know what a load of crapola this is. The only thing that shackles that part of the American media who would be critical of the war is that their view is unpopular. They know the anti-American Marxism they learned at the University doesn't play well with the American public, but they don't want to distance themselves from the average person because they want so badly to influence the public.
