The Ongoing Exclusion Of War Opponents

From the ever impressive Glenn Greenwald. You can't avoid the convoluted logic of the complicite corporate media on the Iraqi bloodbath. I was reminded of this once again while listening to NBC news(from another room) last night as they told their viewers that the increasing American service deaths would make it harder to leave Iraq. My question, spoken out loud but unheard by them was, why? It should make it more imperative to get us out of dubya's quagmire. Here's Glenn Greenwald:
--

The ongoing exclusion of war opponents from the Iraq debate

"..Even now, Americans are inundated with "The Surge is Working!" rhetoric and hear almost none of the views expressed in this interview, just as -- prior to the invasion -- they were exposed to every shade and color of pro-invasion advocates while the anti-war view was drastically minimized and even suppressed. Amazingly, nothing has actually changed from that 2002-2003 period when -- as even Howard Kurtz documented in one of the better (and only) pieces of establishment journalism examining pre-war media coverage -- actual war opponents were buried, rendered invisible, and war advocates were amplified and celebrated. That's still happening.."
