When Pat Buchanan is portraying the
voice of reason on TV, you know you're in Cloud CuckooLand. You're

Look. I can sort of understand turning our news into propaganda when we're the ones at war. I can even understand the use of American news and entertainment to sell policies the government wants to pursue, but can't because of political opposition. (FDR used the movies in this way.) But when two other countries are at war, and only one side can be heard – then the media is playing with fire.
