Reflecting on the start of the Iraq War 20 years later. I cannot overstate how appallingly one-sided the news coverage was in the US during the buildup to the invasion.
@jensorensen I cancelled my newspaper subscription in liberal Portland, OR back then out of pure anger about its blind parroting of Bush government propaganda in the run-up to the Iraq invasion. 9/11 caused a real mass hysteria that shut off people’s critical thinking abilities.
