jun(e|iper)🏳️⚧️q for those who were politically aware in the early 2000s: was the media manufacturing consent surrounding the invasion of Iraq this...blatant? flagrant? obvious?
i know there was substantial opposition to the invasion of Iraq at the time, but i'm curious how it compares to what's going on w/Iran now.
were there similar levels of opposition in the beginning that was suppressed over time? was the media narrative this overt from the start? is what's happening today just a difference of degree or is this a new style of manufacturing consent?
