The news is definitely slanted. I just returned from Anbar province (home of Ramadi and Fallujah, to name a few). Over there, things are fairly quiet. Fallujah actually just opened up a REALLY nice restauraunt on the main drag.
I get home and it seems that the reporters must have taken a wrong turn, because they are NOT reporting from the same Iraq I was in!
I'm so glad to see someone call them out on it with such an awesome sense of humor.
You're right. Congress is responsible for most of the things the country does. Funny thing is that current Congress is Democrat controlled and Congress approval rating is down the drain with President's approval rating.
I think Governor Sarah Palin is the step in the right direction for a better Senate leadership.
I think the media only talks about the bad because the good doesn't pay nearly as well as the bad - if media could only say good things, my guess is that not very many people would watch it.
Thanks for another great video. I think this should be required viewing for all those who love to lay the blame for the "war" solely on the President. Most people just don't have a real grasp on the realities of how government is set up to work. Loved your Congress is opposite of progress line, and the definition of politics in CFTW's comment cracks me up.
when i was bad my mom spanked me with a wooden spoon, and when i was really bad it was bare butt with the wooden spoon, so the question is how bad has the President been?
Awesome episode! Now one of my favorites! All of it is true and because the media and the the news is so slanted they never tell you its not exactly the president that approves the war, its more than that. Also that its not really a war. You also never hear how the "war" is actually going very well and close to being done. You only hear when something is being bombed. Also what I dont get, like you said, so many people in Congress, mostly liberals, agreed on the "war" in the beginning, but they are against it now ... more (158 words)
I think it is interesting how you are able to present information without slanting it or forcing an opinion on viewers. Not once did I hear whether you were for or against the war, which would have prompted an intense debate/flaming that would have led nowhere. I wish you were paid to be on the news instead of the slanted liberals and conservatives on TV now. Of course, I don't really watch the news, I get all my information from What You Ought To Know.
Great show, needed to be said. The media hardly does a thorough enough job to say that blame should be placed all around as Curtis has suggested. Hey things could be worse, we could be in a war instead of a military involvment oversees. (I don't know if that's the proper way of saying what it is, but you get the point)
So can we pay congress less...you know...for every bill they pass we take it out of their paychecks...or would that cause them to become even more corrupt to lobbyists...hmmm
Excellent episode. There's enough blame to go 'round the world with this mess. Prez, VP, Congress, Cabinet, UN, Media, Coalition, Terrorists, numerous Countries, and on and on. It's just not one person.

Only in America do they describe the progress so well... "Poli-" in Latin meaning "Many" and "Tics" meaning "Bloodsucking Creatures".Marc
