I just do not get this argument. What did they not report?

All the major outlets reported the UN proceedings, the inspections, the ceasing of the inspections, etc. Then, we had real time coverage of over a year of actual combat. Then, all the Halliburton cronisms have been reported as have the horrible acts of a comparatively few bad soldiers. The WH has tried to stop all of this and has not succeeded.

So, my question is "what else could the media have done?"

Note - I get that Fax is skewed in its opinions, but the actual anchors reported the news as did all the other majors.

In the end, Americans were pissed off at all Muslims and Iraq had a history of utter BS and killing. Thus, Americans saw the truth, but chose to avoid it. In other words, there was nothing else the media could have done IMO And, I think this is because for eight years in the Clinton era, the US killed in the name of the same WMD -- so, it was logical to fgo after SH as a terrorist and even though he had nothing to do with 9/11. I also think many on the far left think the words "WMD" were never uttered until W came into office and they are all W's fabrication. That is just not so. Even Bill Clinton agreed with W on everything except the ceasing of the inspections and the jumoing into the invsion.
