For far to long has America been a nation of Ostriches, mainly due to our corporate media. Denial of obvious problems is the American Way. We see this in our Financial Collapse. It was painfully obvious for the past 5 years our economy was going to collapse, but CNBC kept pretending the markets were doing great. It was painfully obvious the Iraq War was fraudulent from day one, yet CNN and the rest of the media sold it to the American people without any critical analysis of the facts. It was painfully obvious George Bush wasn’t qualified to be President in 1999, yet the media hardly attacked him until his poll numbers were below 40% in 2006/7. When will America wise up?
