Fleetwood Mac -- Never Going Back Again
I don't know how many of you watched the Rachel Maddow-hosted special "Why We Did It" this week. I spent a disproportionate amount of time yelling at my screen. Because *we* didn't do it (meaning invade Iraq). There were many of us in that all-encompassing "we" who knew it was all bullshit and yelled and protested and fought like hell to be heard over the roar of the media. Maddow claims that the meda was fooled and duped, just like the rest of us Americans. Well, no, actually, I don't think that's true. They weren't duped. They were active misinformers, just like CBS was in this egregious report on Obamacare this year.
Active misinformers. Just like David Gregory, Bob Schieffer and GeorgeStephanopoulos.
*We* didn't do anything. *They* have failed us. And continue to do so.
