US Media: Up Is Down - Down Is Up



With the current media spin to make Libby's four felony convictions seem not so bad a thing, I'm reminded of how they'll completely turn the truth on its head to help Bush. In June of 2004, CNN worked its magic this way.

Clinton gives an interview during which his main thrust was that he disagreed with Bush's decision to go to war without allowing UN inspectors to do their job.

''I didn't agree with the timing of the attack," Clinton said.

''I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over," Clinton said.

'Pressed on whether the Iraq war was worth the cost to the United States, Clinton said he would not have undertaken the war until after U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix "finished his job."'

But then, CNN spins it around and says Clinton supported Bush's decision.

''(CNN) -- Former President Clinton has revealed that he continues to support President Bush's decision to go to war ''

Simply amazing. *S*
