When nearly nobody in the 18-34 demo in the US listens to Rush or any other
political talker, why would they listen when abroad?


Maybe they want the truth from home.

935 Lies on the Way to a War

The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found
that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Mr. Bush and
administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions
that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or
obtain them or had links to al Qaeda or both.

“It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass
destruction or have meaningful ties to al Qaeda,” according to Charles
Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism
staff members, writing an overview of the study. “In short, the Bush
Administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous
information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in
military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003.”
