OK, don't tell me the media isn't turning around a little
This is the most biting--almost sarcastic?--lead-in to story on bush/iraq I think I've seen in MSM. Perhaps they're finally no longer willing to shovel the manure over the fence to the american people.

snip-
Bush, Cheney Concede Saddam Had No WMDs

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) and his vice president conceded Thursday in the clearest terms yet that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) had no weapons of mass destruction, even as they tried to shift the Iraq (news - web sites) war debate to a new issue — whether the invasion was justified because Saddam was abusing a U.N. oil-for-food program.

Ridiculing the Bush administration's evolving rationale for war, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) shot back: "You don't make up or find reasons to go to war after the fact."
snip-

Or am I over-reaching?

1. If they are, and I wouldn't bet
anything VALUABLE on it, it's going to be too little, too late.

4. yeah, really
But I'll take what we can get for now. This would be the most important time for them to 'get it' aside from the pre-war period.

2. Apparently even Tweety
went off on Cheney and said the press needs to start doing its job (paraphrase).

6. I think they are turning
I'm not sure it has anything to do with telling the truth so much as this is getting to be like blood in the water. It's getting to be as good a story as Laci and Connor.

Whatever...I'll take it. :evilgrin:

9. They are going to issue some apologies before I will watch any of it
KKKorporate Pravda USA is going to have to fix what they have broken before it regains my trust.
