Fear and the Result of Our Decisions: Media, Palin and Iraq

I recall keenly the days of the run-up to the Iraq war. How many journalists--including those I knew and admired--drew back from criticism of obvious gaps and flaws in the logic leading to the conflict; who, despite stories of critical importance for the future of the nation hanging before them, left them hanging in the group-reinforced fear that they would be accused of a lack of patriotism if they were to report them.

And so they were left to be reported long after--in books looking back at the clear issues, landmark errors, and trail of missed opportunities that has led to the fatal outcomes we now see before us.

The issues were there at the time. To be reported.

They were not.

Today, they are again being cowed, by an equally powerful fear of unnecessary intimidation and restraint, the consequences of which stretch far beyond those that we have seen in Iraq.

At a time when we are at war, the economy in shambles, when today Fannie and Freddie Mac are, for the first time in their history, in effect being nationalized, we are being swept by emotion and fear--career fear--into ignoring a situation that would likely send us tumbling into the unknown.

For the short-term fear that each journalist feels, in being perceived as "unpatriotic" to vague, manifest threats regarding gender--they fail to report issues that have nothing to do with gender: the preparedness of a candidate for Vice President of the United States, running alongside an elderly and chronically ill Presidential candidate.

Instead--just as in the run-up to Iraq--each is making the easier choice--to join the risk-averse chorus of personality pieces, each, in the same diffusion of responsibility that had such a major role in leading us into the war in Iraq, taking the route that leads away from fact, regardless of gender.

As in Iraq, reporting fact--regardless of pressure for a mindless conformity and silence--represented actual patriotism, providing the nation with the information it needed to make a reliable and authentic decision, so reporting the facts here--regardless of pressure for an unthinking conformity represents a true balance, a true equality, a true lack of bias.

This is a time of difficult decisions. However, those decisions--your decisions--matter. We have seen this.

Report it. Don't be cowed.

Not only Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment offensive, but he plagiarized the first part of that speech from a Washington post comic. Watch the video and then look at the ad: http://noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/toonsnipped11.jpg

Obama- change you can xerox.

McSame has spent 26 years in the US senate with no record of reform or change: You can put a lipstik on a pig it is still a pig and McSame knows that the change mantra is not he's but Obama's theme during these elections, you cannot shamelessly still, fabricate and lie and hopefully McCain is noble enough to avoid the repetition of his mistakes.

amy, elections are not about hate or love for a candidate. But what can an elected politician do to improve people's life. You are pro-life as Palin is, so you can vote for her, but the rest of us are pro-choice we will vote against her.

I heard the remarks from Senator Obama. He was making a sexist swipe at Sarah Palin, just as he was making a sexist swipe at Hillary when he made the famous statment that sometimes "the claws come out." Men may not get this, but women do. Maybe that's why Hillary isn't out there trashing Sarah Palin with the angry. She had her share of being sexist treatment, and now it's happening to Sarah Palin. And the left-wing expects women to fall into line like loyal little soldiers? Not this moderate Democratic woman. McCain/Palin 08

McCain and Palin have a problem with the truth and I don't want another couple of liars in office.

It's funny when idiots like Carrie come in here pretending to be Democrats voting for McCain/Palin. Let me give you some breakign news: You are not Democrats. besides, lets see how Palin performs when they take her out of her little safe box and the Press can grill her on her endless lies.

I certain Obama did not mean to insult pigs.

McCain has stolen OBAMA'S Theme "CHANGE"
and he is just another failed politician
from Washington. McCain is a great liar.
We can not be convinced that he is the reformer or change. He doesn't have anything to offer.

McCain/Palin = Bush 8 yaers

My wife is a Hillary voter that is very comfortable voting for Obama. Our son is home from Iraq, via Walter Reed. Years ago we were Republicans, but after the way McCain turned his back on our veterans (I'm also a vet) I will do all I can to see the man defeated. McCain is not good for our troops and worse for out veterans.

sorry about the typo, I meant worse for OUR veterans.

McCain is running as Bush and Obama is running as Jimmy Carter. Jeez, I think I'll vote 3rd party this year!

how is it so many column inches are devoted to this instead of a single, substantive, issue-oriented story? Callign heerself a dog is OK, but that Obama used the word "lipstick", I was unaware that Palin had copyrighted the word. GET OVER IT! I want to hear about the issues that are going to affect me and my family in the next four years and what each of these candidates plans to do about them.

"I want to hear about the issues that are going to affect me and my family in the next four years and what each of these candidates plans to do about them".

Well said Jason.

ron please reregister as a republican because you are not a democrat if youre voting for that loser bush clone

Mccain has never turned his back on our veterans, you are wrong, or a dem starting rumors.. McCain is and always has been a good man. Shame on you.

If you really want change, get rid of Pelosi and her Dem squad, they've let the American people down everytime change was offered. Even went on vacation instead of voting on energy policy, knowing 70% of American citizens wanted it. Still haven't voted on it.

The writers of this bog should really do their home work. The McCain/Palin ticket is ahead in most of the polls.
The Obama Democrats refuse to acknowledge that the gas price increase and mortgage crisis came after the Democrats took over Congress yet Obama is two years behind in knowledge and are still blaming the Bush Administration. Obama must play the Blame Game. He has nothing else.
