This article leaves me speechless.

It's easy to forget that the news media once did actual reporting, and what it meant to a society when the "Fourth Estate" was a functional entity. Every once in a while you see a brief glimpse of it even today.

If you only listen to the American MSM you would think that the U.S. is reluctantly standing up to a belligerent military titan. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Of the Democratic Party's many betrayals of it's grassroots base, uniting with the neocons, the same group that have never been right about anything, may have been the worst stab-in-the-back.

Both Washington and the news media are bending over backwards to drum up support for a war with Iran. In the proud tradition of incubator babies and yellowcake, they are both twisting the facts and outright lying. The further you go to the right-wing of the news media, the bigger and more belligerent the lies.

First of all, let's look at some examples.

It was only a couple of heavily outnumbered protesters, but at least it was something.

Between the Obama and Trump administrations, they've gone back and forth and back again on why they're in Syria. Remember when Obama, Kerry et all basically admitted the reason the U.S. was in Syria was because "Assad has got to go". Then they say he doesn't, then he does, then ISIS number two is shot, then ISIS number two is killed, then the beat goes on doncha miss Sonny and Cher. Or maybe not.

Hillary Clinton is a warmonger.
It's a truth that justifies not voting for her.

The problem is that the only difference with the Trump Administration is his object of warmongering.

Caitlyn Johnstone has been writing some pretty good articles lately. Today she hit one out of the park.

Her framing of the issue in this article is just a masterpiece - and if it catches on, it just might be a way to fight back against the warmonger Democrats in the public mind.

I'll post an excerpt below the fold, but it is really worth clicking the link to read this article in full.
