If you didn't watch Bill Moyers' surgical demolition of the media's performance in the run up to war in Iraq, you can still see it online.
I'm sorry I don't have time to do a thorough review, but here's a little taste of Moyers grilling Tim Russert about allowing Cheney to use his show as a propaganda outlet.
The administration had leaked a story about the infamous aluminum tubes to the New York Times, and then Cheney goes on Meet the Press
and uses the article to support his fearmongering. Here's how Russert defends his utter lack of sceptical inqiry:
There were concerns expressed by other government officials. And to this day, I wish my phone had rung, or I had access to them.
Poor Tim. All that money and prestige, and he's still just sitting by the phone, waiting for the call.
