Brokaw, to make light of McClellan’s charges, also declares that “all wars are based on propaganda.” He even mentions World War II. For Brokaw, who has embraced the notion of that being the “good war,” to put the Iraq invasion in the same class is outrageous. There is a huge difference between admitting that there is a propaganda element to every war – and pointing out that certain wars are mainly based on propaganda and that a country has been misled, or lied, into war.
Me: I would go further and say that much of the American political debate is based on propaganda. Health care ‘debate’, the bank bailout, it’s getting nigh on impossible to get a decent rational discussion going in this society.
And that will be part of the ruin of our society — devolving into a bunch of uneducated pissed off people screaming at each other led by fools like Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. I can’t wait, we’re almost there.
