Tonight on Hardball, Chris Mathews cited a poll in which nearly 50% of Bush's supporters believe that Iraq has WMD's!
When will the media wake up and do it's job? Mathews was very discouraged by those numbers and felt it was a sign of an electorate that may be being mislead.
This is obviously our media's fault as they absolutely REFUSE to call George Dubya Bush a liar. Any time they show campaign footage of Bush where he mentions WMD's, they should alert their viewers to the fact that there were NO WMD's in Iraq. PERIOD. END OF STORY. At some point, stories should have been written and produced on TV about how Bush continues to mention weapons despite the fact that they were not there.
Do you remember the 2000 election when George Dubya Bush kept claiming he was the "moral" choice for President and therefore insinuating that he had better morals than Al Gore? The media gave him a free pass. NOBODY challenged him on his assertion that he was somehow a better person than Al Gore.
This time around their allowing him to get away with not telling the American people the truth about Iraq. They are allowing him to change his rationale for war AFTER the war had ended (Mission Accomplished...right Dubya?) and not challenging it.
When America goes to the polls in six days, 25% of the voting public will believe that Iraq had wmd's and therefore the Iraq War was justified. If the media doesn't hang it's head over that fact, they simply have no shame. This election would be a blowout IF the media was doing it's job.
