Seriously, you didn't notice that most of the US news sources seemed fairly critical of the war's progress and have been gleefully reporting the absence of WMD's to the embarrassment of the US government, did you?
Most US news sources seem to delight in finding fault with the government, so this idea that the news sources work in lock step with the Feds simply doesn't wash.

They find fault with the government on comparitively trivial matters. But when it comes to war, the US media goose-steps in synch with the government. The Iraq war is illegal, unjust and based on government lies. But the media refuses to call them on it.
