Where Are The Media's Iraq War Boosters 10 Years Later?

On the tenth anniversary of the American-led invasion of Iraq, Media Matters looks back at the work of some of the media's most prominent pro-war voices. Instead of facing consequences for backing the invasion based on information that turned out to be false and criticizing war opponents, many of these media figures continue to hold positions of influence and continue to provide foreign policy reporting and commentary.

Every one of these folks is still working on TV and in print.

Meanwhile, Phil Donahue, who got it right on Iraq and was fired by the "lib'rul" and replaced by Michael Savage, is still virtually banned from media.

Hey,
Of course they are, never have there been so many, that have been so wrong, been given a total pass. Let alone all the criminals in fuckwit's adiministration and the fuckwit himself. Even if you ask them today they will say they would do it all again. Am I still pissed after ten year? Hell yes I am.

Peace
