Judith Miller used neocon and CIA-concocted propaganda to sell the invasion of Iraq to the American people.
If we are to believe a recent poll posted on the Fox News website, more than 70% of Americans favor going into Yemen to get rid of al-Qaeda. “With over 20,000 people taking part in the poll, 71% voted that ‘the problem is not going away,’ and “troops need to be sent there to eliminate Al Qaeda and the threat it poses to national security.”
Judith Miller used neocon and CIA-concocted propaganda to sell the invasion of Iraq to the American people.
Fox News is infamous for providing propaganda for the neocons who engineered the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. A poll on the Fox News website will naturally reflect the views of neocon followers who are conditioned to accept the idea that a manufactured terrorist threat must be countered with Predator drone attacks and possibly direct U.S. military involvement in Yemen.
The so-called liberal media will also play its part in any military action against al-Qaeda in Yemen. During the Bush’s invasion of Iraq, the New York Times and other supposedly liberal newspapers and media outlets ran blatant pro-invasion propaganda on a daily basis. Case in point: Times reporter Judith Miller, who eagerly ran neocon concocted stories about Iraqi metal tubes allegedly intended to be used to enrich nuclear material. “Mr. Hussein’s dogged insistence on pursuing his nuclear ambitions, along with what defectors described in interviews as Iraq’s push to improve and expand Baghdad’s chemical and biological arsenals, have brought Iraq and the United States to the brink of war,” wrote Miller, who eventually “retired” from the newspaper as a result on her pro-invasion reporting.
