The New York Times Fear Mongers for War Again, This Time With Iran In 2004, after a year of ferocious criticism, the New York Times published a famous mea culpa, apologizing, sort of, for its relentlessly misleading cheer leading of war against Iraq in the months leading up to that invasion. Since then, the performance of the mainstream media, and particularly the Times, in unquestioningly parroting the bullshit fed to it by the Bush administration and its allies, has become a standard example of the failures of establishment journalism.Apparently, the Times and the rest of American legacy media learned nothing from that debacle. Today, yet again, there’s a front page NYT story that builds the case that this year’s State Enemy, Iran, is run by unstable monsters who pose a clear and present danger to the good ol’ USA - just like Saddam did in 2002-03. The one thing that’s different this time - as Glen Greenwald notes - is that US media actually seems more anxious to build up the Iranian threat and the case for war than the Obama administration is. Mainstream Media is a grassroots dumbing down movement at the foundation of the American Idiocracy.
