If anything, the national press corps was probably too deferential to the White House and to the administration in regard to the most important decision facing the nation during my years in Washington, the choice over whether to go to war in Iraq.
The collapse of the administration's rationales for war, which became apparent months after our invasion, should never have come as such a surprise. . . . In this case, the "liberal media" didn't live up to its reputation. If it had, the country would have been better served.

As Colbert says, "reality has a well-known liberal bias." Too bad the liberal media doesn't. The only thing liberal about the MSM is its attitude about sexual issues. They are otherwise way right of center when in their attitudes about power and money. In other words, the media represent the mores and biases of corporate America.
