Anybody else happen to catch the aptly named 'Bush's War' on PBS? Anyone? The show was fairly educational, especially for those who aren't as clued in to the story behind the lies that led up to the war and the disastrous results of the conflict.
I was waiting for the Bush cultists at Free Republic to throw their mandatory shitfit about it, and I see now that they have. Now I wonder how many more minutes it will be before they demand defunding the ol' Big Bird network because it aired a program that wasn't to their liking.
According to the all-powerful Wikipedia, viewers of American network news have been 6 times as likely to see a pro-war source as an antiwar one. So if anyone is biased, it's the rest of the media. Maybe the rest of the media should be the ones to be defunded. Congress can accomplish this by repealing the '96 telcom law, which was in fact a subsidy to the corporate media.
