Mea Culpa: Chris Matthews Admits WH Engaged In "Pure Press Manipulation"
Wow. Who would have thought that the incompetent Scott McClellan of all people would force the talking heads to re-evaluate their role in the lead up
"There was a lot of salesmanship here....a lot of propaganda."
Chris Matthews and David Gregory seem to get it. Mike Allen...not so much. We'll see how the rest of media handles it.
Of course, for those of us who actually pay attention to this sort of stuff, Bill Moyers chronicled this manipulation extensively in his fascinating documentary, Buying The War.
Memo to the media: Better late than never.
