I dunno exactly what I think about it yet, but it sure was fascinating.

Since the internet and browsers it's become much easier to see that the US press isn't quite as "free" and is more subject to manipulation than I had been raised to believe.

While some of the errors are active, as in the Patriot missile or the bombing in Kosovo being effective, I would agree most errors are of omission. There seems to be a reluctance to do or stay with stories which will not be popular. One of those is that Palestinian side of that conflict. I was shocked to read of the conditions the Palestinians endure during times of "peace", and that until they started blowing things up no one paid any attention to them. I believe that was a systematic error of omission which left the American people unaware of a big part of the situation in the Middle East. Several generations of Americans have been raised to see the Middle East in a skewed manner.

Both those errors result in deception and are what Clinton did so well. Just as some of us despise Clinton for his absolute, complete inability to to be honest, the mainstream press could be regarded suspiciously, too.

And that's how it looks from low to the ground. You can't see as far from here, and the dust gets into your eyes.
