Did someone say WMD?

Silence. That's what I'm hearing.

The biggest screw-up in recent history and none of the media outlets, other than the alternative media outlets on the Internet, dare say anything other than repeat the announcement. No, don't want to dig too deep or push the issue, might be labeled unpatriotic or have the Patriot Act applied against you. Or, they just don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.

William Pitt's recent blog, "Everyone to Blame, No One at Fault", is a concise reflection of the reality which no media outlet wants to face in the mirror:

100,000 Iraqis are dead, but we don't hear about it. We creep towards 2,000 American soldiers dead, but we don't hear about it. Tens of thousands of American soldiers have been horribly wounded, but we don't hear about it. The war has so destabilized our economy that the foreign governments we need to buy our debt are flocking to the Euro instead of the sinking dollar, but we don't hear about it. The Sunni city of Fallujah is a graveyard, a tableau of war crimes writ large, but we don't hear about it. There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but we don't hear about it. The new Iraqi government is about to become a Shi'ite fundamentalist regime that will likely ally itself with Iran, but we don't hear about it.

We don't hear about it because the media can't bring itself to tell us about it. To do so would be to admit, out loud and before the world, that they failed to do their jobs. They all failed, collectively. They are all to blame, which means none of them are at fault.


Well, it will only be a matter of time before the alternative sources either get bought-out or shut-out.

By the way, anyone else notice the whole reason this War on Terror started was due to Osama bin Laden and there has been nothing in the news about him, nor attempts to catch him, or any inkling of his whereabouts? Nothing, silence...

Did someone say Osama?
