Last week on "Realtime with Bill Maher" NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell made the following admission:
MITCHELL: Well, I think you can. It doesn't always happen. I've been looking back at all of this -- it's one of the reasons I wrote the book -- and I think there has been self-censorship. And that since 9-11, or after 9-11, there was sort of a rallying around -- and understandable sort of patriotic effect -- and I think reporters were less challenging. (courtesy HBO.com)
Yes Andrea there was a "rallying" around effect. However, we needed the media to ask the important questions when it came to premptively declaring war on another country.
Americanlogic feels this was a dark moment in journalism.
