Will the future of U.S. journalism and politics lie in sucking up to American flag-wavers? What do you think?

Mmmm, Clinton shouldn't criticize what he didn't have. He was too busy chasing tail, lying, dodging sexual harassment suits, and trying to avoid prosecution for his wife's business dealings. He did absolutely nothing productive as president. His presidency was a black eye to this nation that hasn't been seen since Nixon. He should be forgotten.
As for the news, you are correct. I think Fox News may be trying to counter how CNN reports things. I was watching CNN for everything, but they only focused on the bad side of everything. I want non-biased reporting, but I would also like to see stories that cover all aspects. Fox, while it is a little more biased towards the US, shows good, bad and indifferent.

Clinton has as much a right to criticize as any person, whether they be an American or not, a taxpayer or not, or an ex-president or not. Infact, I applaud his statements: it that's how he feels, it's impressive he said it in a public forum. Seems no one is allowed to say such things without taking alot of flak from the American public, and taking equal amouts of PR damage. To me, it's refreshing, regardless of one's stance on the war, to hear an opinion like that from a public figure.
Anyways, I know better than to step into a political discussion, so that's about all I have to say.

He has to say that because the 2004 election propaganda engine is getting ready to fire up - if he says anything different, that would mean he is not backing his own party...

The victors always write the history.
The US media giants have become such cross promotional multinational corporations that the truth is unimportant (in a world where GM supplies porn). Spin is necessary and facts become malleable. What is important is profit for the shareholders. Question is, who are the majority shareholders? Usually the same people who are saying their right to a profit overrides the corporations social responsibility. They give generously to political funds and get better representation and in some cases preferential treatment (ie Enron). Who can get elected if the media suddenly stops reporting good things about them? >>I applaud his statements: it that's how he feels, it's impressive he said it in a public forum. Seems no one is allowed to say such things without taking alot of flak from the American public<< I agree. Would he have said them while he had a chance at political office? No, so this will get him back in the spotlight, earn him brownie points for his party and another round of speaches at >$100K a pop. Its all about timing....... This site has some quotes from the mainstream US media on the UNSCOM inspectors. Interesting how the media changes view to support its current stand and not the TRUTH. http://www.fair.org/extra/0210/inspectors.html
