The increasingly popular Iraq war
The number of people in favor of the Iraq war has actually increased over the last few weeks, according to a couple polls. Frank Warner has the details, and includes this spot-on commentary regarding the media’s lack of appropriately calling this an ‘increasingly popular war’:
Tired phrase. I recalled yesterday that, over the last year or two, news story after news story has referred to the “increasingly unpopular Iraq war.” I asked if now we could expect an endless string of news stories with the phrase “increasingly popular Iraq war.”
But hold it. Were there really all these stories referring to the “increasingly unpopular Iraq war”? Were they only nightmares? Well, no. I checked, and there are tons of stories with that discouraging phrase.
Here are just a few examples of straight news stories describing Iraq as the “increasingly unpopular war.”
He’s done some excellent detective work on the how the media characterized the Iraq war when it was losing support. Check it out.

This is exactly the same thing the MSM are trying to pull with their “Southern Women Turning Against Bush!” articles, manipulate the public to attempt to make what they wish was true actually true rather than simply reporting the news and facts. This is not even a thinly disguised attempt to influence events, which makes the news media nothing but a propaganda and influence peddling business, not a noble journalistic endeavor.
It’s devious, dishonest, and disgusting.
Straight news stories my behiney!
The legacy drive by media aren’t about truth or ratings. They have an agenda.
The ever increasingly popular Murtha can do no wrong to the legacy drive by media because he was a veteran. But that doesn’t make one ‘correct’ no more than a lawyer who sees things one way versus another lawyer who sees things another way. People have thier point of view and it’d be nice if the legacy drive by media ‘reported’ and let us decide….
“Behiney?”
Heard of a hiney….
Heard of a behind….
Is a behiney, the back of a hiney?
Sorry Bak, couldn’t resist.
