The one point that sticks out to me is how Iacocca is dead-on on how the media has given Bush a free pash. Not until the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina did the media begin to finally grow a pair and start asking the hard questions it should have been asking in the fall and winter of 2002-03.
There is no such thing as liberal media. While not everyone has whored themselves out in the manner of Faux News, the other networks and other media outlets should be accused of picking up the pom-poms and cheering Bush in the lead-up to the war. Ratings may have been the deciding factor in why they did, but there is no question objective journalism took a head shot in the wake of 9/11. Few were willing to stand up; in fact, most went monkey see, monkey do and mimicked their programming in the style of Faux. This is why we have ashclowns like Nancy Grace and Glenn Beck on CNN and Chris Matthews all but fawning over most of what the GOP does, let alone reviving what is left of Dennis Miller's pathetic career. It's why we get Ann Coulter (and the Coulter in waiting, Rachael Mardsen) and an unbalanced tilt of right/left opinions on the Sunday talkies.
If the media had done its job -- rather than blindly following Faux's lead -- I think the course of what has happened over the last four years may have changed drastically. It's just my reasoning....
