Does anyone else feel a strong déjà vu to 2002, when all the US media was reporting one side's view on terror, Iraq and WMD's?
It seems that (again), mainstream media has jettisoned accurate reporting for repeating the basic narrative.
Supporters of both candidates consider each other's news sources biased and unreliable, more propaganda than reporting.
It might be very valuable to search for independent assessment in the International Press, particularly of our allies.
In the run-up to the Iraq war, every allied country's media (and most politicians) warned us that the US media did not tell the facts: that there most likely are no WMD in Iraq, that Saddam Hussein most certainly had no connection to Al'Qaida and that creating a democracy would be incredibly difficult and take decades.
We didn't listen then, maybe we should listen now.
